Our country builds the world's largest 5G standalone network

On the 18th, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced at the World Telecommunications and Information Society Day Conference held in Zhengzhou that my country has built the world's largest 5G independent networking network. From the 17th, the 5G independent networking function will be enabled by default for newly connected 5G terminals.

5G network is divided into two modes: independent networking and non-independent networking. Non-independent networking is a hybrid networking method in which 5G base stations are connected to 4G core network by transforming 4G network in the early stage of 5G construction; independent networking is completely independent construction. The 5G network can better utilize the technical characteristics of 5G.

Liu Liehong, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that by the end of March 2021, 819,000 5G base stations had been built, accounting for more than 70% of the world's total, covering all prefecture-level and above cities across the country. Build the world's largest 5G independent networking network.

Liu Liehong revealed that 600,000 new 5G base stations are planned to be built in 2021. On the one hand, it will accelerate the scale development of 5G independent networking, and at the same time promote the "dual Gigabit" network synergy between mobile and fixed networks. The "Gigabit City Evaluation Index" document recently released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology pointed out that the density of 5G base stations should reach 12 per 10,000 people, and the gigabit optical bandwidth coverage should reach 80%.

As a new basic telecommunications operator, China Radio and Television also announced at this conference that it will release 5G segments and launch related packages.

Liang Xiaotao, general manager of China Radio and Television, said that China Radio and Television is actively carrying out radio and television 5G operation planning, and will release Section 192 in a timely manner, and launch special packages, so that customers can enjoy China Radio and Television's high-quality services as soon as possible.

At present, the number of 5G terminal connections in China has reached 280 million, accounting for more than 80% of the world's total, and there are more than 350 million 5G package users. From January to April this year, the domestic market shipped about 91 million 5G mobile phones, accounting for nearly 73% of the total shipments.

According to the deployment of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom, China Radio and Television and China Tower jointly launched the "5G Empowering Industry Digitalization" joint action at today's conference to promote the coordinated development of 5G and empower Industrial digital transformation.

The 5G action plans released by the five operators involve applications such as cloud computing, industrial big data platforms, 5G information dissemination, and digital towers. Experts pointed out that while promoting the development of digital industrialization, 5G will effectively enhance the digitalization level of my country's industries. The China Academy of Information and Communications Technology predicts that by 2025, 5G will drive about 1.2 trillion yuan in network construction investment, drive 8 trillion yuan in related information consumption, and directly drive economic added value of 2.93 trillion yuan.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently released a draft of the "5G Application "Sailing" Action Plan (2021-2023), and formulated 8 special actions and 32 specific tasks to coordinate the promotion of the large-scale development of 5G applications.

Liu Liehong said that 5G is mainly a new technology for industry scenarios. my country is one of the first countries to commercialize 5G. The application of technology industry has entered a no-man's land, especially for the integrated application of industry and even the real economy, and there is no experience to follow. , it is necessary to grasp the new characteristics of 5G, based on the national conditions, and develop a road of 5G development and application with Chinese characteristics.
