The development of China's 5G network is accelerating. There are more than 480,000 5G base stations in the country, and the number of 5G terminal connections is increasing.

At present, the number of 5G online terminal connections has exceeded 100 million, and the application of 5G has been continuously enriched, covering many fields such as industry, medical care, media, and transportation.

  On September 5, at the 2020 Service Trade Fair 5G Emerging Service Trade Development Forum, Wen Ku, Director of the Information and Communication Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, revealed the above-mentioned latest developments in China's 5G construction.

  Wenku said that as the main development direction of the new generation of mobile communication technology, 5G is intertwined with emerging technologies such as cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies, integrating and innovating, and constantly spawning new models, new business formats, and new industries, which strongly support the economy The transformation and development of social digitization, networking and intelligence.

  "5G is not only a network, but also an accelerator of a new technological revolution. So far, China Mobile has built 300,000 5G base stations and more than 340 commercial cities." said Zhao Dachun, deputy general manager of China Mobile.

  Zhao Dachun said that the deep integration of 5G and the service trade field will promote the accelerated development of various industries.

He cited, for example, that 5G+ financial services provide "unmanned" operation capabilities for bank branches, 5G+AR travel services make cultural relics "live", 5G+ medical services provide remote diagnosis and treatment through high-definition video, and 5G+ education provides more general high-quality education.

China Mobile relies on 5G boutique private networks to provide network capabilities such as self-operation and maintenance, self-service, and self-development to realize "network as a service".

  In 2020, the global 5G commercial development will begin to take shape. According to incomplete statistics, as of the end of July 2020, 99 network operators in 46 countries and regions have expressed to provide 5G services. Major countries such as the United States, South Korea, Europe, and Japan Both countries and regions are actively accelerating the construction of 5G and launching 5G integration applications. The 5G industry ecology is gradually enriched, application exploration continues to deepen, and the effect of 5G in promoting economic and social development has initially appeared.

  Wenku said that China is currently in an important period of 5G network construction and application cultivation.

He suggested that one is to continue to improve network supply capabilities, the other is to actively build an application industry ecosystem, and the third is to deepen international exchanges and cooperation.

  Currently, 5G network construction is accelerating.

According to Yin Yong, Deputy Mayor of Beijing, Beijing plans to achieve continuous outdoor coverage within the Fifth Ring Road and Beijing City Sub-center within the year, and accurate coverage of key areas and typical application scenarios outside the Fifth Ring Road.

  Beijing has previously issued a 5G industry development action plan to strengthen the synergy of the industry chain and accelerate the promotion of 5G vertical application scenarios in various industries.

For example, in the field of smart medical care, Beijing has completed the construction of 5G telemedicine emergency projects such as the Expo, and explored new application models of 5G technology from pre-hospital emergency to in-hospital visits and referrals.

During the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Ditan Hospital and Xiaotangshan Hospital used 5G technology to conduct remote consultations with Wuhan experts.

  At the same time, Beijing has also piloted the construction of a group of trinity smart hospitals based on smart medical care, smart services, and smart management, to explore the application of new technologies such as 5G in diagnosis and treatment scenarios.
