China News Service, Beijing, March 31 (Reporter Liu Yuying) Xiong'an New District has become a digital economy innovation highland.

The reporter recently visited Xiongan New District and learned that 5G continuous coverage has been achieved in key areas and key scenes, and 5G industry applications such as 5G autonomous driving and 5G power smart micro-grid have been tested first and laid out ahead of schedule.

  According to the relevant person in charge of China Mobile Hebei Company, since the opening of the first 5G test station in 2017, about 500 5G base stations have been opened in Xiongan New District, realizing the three counties, Beijing-Xiong High-speed Railway, Citizen Service Center, Baiyangdian Scenic Area, and Rongwu The continuous coverage of high-speed and other key scenes, as well as the key coverage of towns and high-traffic rural areas, laid the foundation for industry applications.

  In the Xiong’an branch of China Huaneng Group, the reporter saw that the company’s building facade is covered with cadmium telluride photovoltaic glass, which can generate electricity even on cloudy days.

China Mobile has installed a 5G smart microgrid here on a trial basis, and the power data is uploaded to the cloud through the 5G smart industrial gateway, and intelligently dispatched by the management platform at the Shanghai Huaneng headquarters.

  According to Kang Meng, the business manager of the Planning and Development Department of China Huaneng Group's Xiong'an Branch, the company's building is equipped with an energy storage system to realize self-generation and self-use, and excess electricity can also be sold online.

In addition, the smart micro-grid system can also connect buildings like micro-power plants to form a city’s smart virtual grid, which greatly reduces the carbon emissions of buildings.

  "In the past, optical fiber networks were used for transmission, which was not only costly, but also difficult to construct and deploy networks. With 5G slicing technology and edge computing, data access and transmission problems were solved more efficiently," said Kang Meng.

  At present, Xiong'an is in the period of infrastructure construction, and the Xiong'an Business Service Center and Rongdong Resettlement Area are stepping up construction.

  Supported by the 5G network, China Mobile’s three-dimensional visualized intelligent construction site management system collects real-time and dynamic elements such as human, machine, material, method, and environment involved in construction projects, improving the level of project information management.

  At present, the system has been implemented in Xiongan New District, such as Jingxiong High-speed Railway Station, Tanghe Sewage Reservoir Ecological Treatment, K1 Express Road, and Rongdong Resettlement District Municipal Water Supply Project and other smart construction site projects, helping each project to build Xiongan New District with high quality and high standards.

  It is understood that China Mobile has piloted more than a dozen 5G applications in Xiongan New Area, including 5G autonomous driving, 5G drone + VR live broadcast, and 5G smart construction sites.

The "Xiongan New Area Internet of Things Unified Open Platform" and the Baiyangdian Ecological Big Data Demonstration System software project, which is set to be the first city-level Internet of Things platform in the country, are under construction.

  The construction of Xiongan New Area is inseparable from talents.

In an interview, Long Xueyi, director of the Digital Intelligence Innovation Department of China Mobile (Xiong’an) Industrial Research Institute, said that the institute was established in September 2018. There are currently 242 people in the department, with an average age of 30, and 116 people with a master’s degree or above, accounting for Than 48%.

  "We are tracking and advancing the construction of key projects such as the intelligent standards for communities in Xiongan New Area and the taxation blockchain platform in Xiongan New Area," said Long Xueyi.

  It is understood that 5G construction will be stepped up in 2021. Hebei Mobile will increase its efforts to ensure the 5G full coverage construction in the newly-built Rongdong area. At the same time, it will complete the 5G network coverage in the construction areas of Rongxi and Green Expo Park to help the new infrastructure of the new area.
