my country's 5G base stations exceed 1.396 million 5G mobile phone terminal connections to 497 million
On December 24, the first “Gigabit City” Summit Forum was held in Qingdao, Shandong. Han Xia, chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said in a speech that as of November this year, my country’s 5G base stations exceeded 1.396 million, and the number of 5G mobile phone terminal connections There are 497 million households.
Han Xia said that at present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation driven by a new generation of information and communication technology is developing in depth, which is profoundly affecting the global technology industry system, the development pattern of the world economy, and the pattern of international competition.
The "dual gigabit" network represented by 5G and gigabit optical network has the characteristics of ultra-large bandwidth, ultra-low latency, advanced and reliable, and is an important component and carrier base of new infrastructure. It is promoting scientific and technological innovation and stimulating effective investment. It plays an important role in promoting information consumption and empowering the transformation and development of thousands of industries. It is a strategic choice for building new competitive advantages in the future and grasping the initiative of development. The new vitality is of great significance.
Han Xia stated that the national "14th Five-Year Plan" outlines the need to "accelerate the large-scale deployment of 5G networks" and "promote and upgrade gigabit optical fiber networks"; this year's "Government Work Report" deploys "increase the construction of 5G networks and gigabit optical networks." The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Dual Gigabit Network Coordinated Development Action Plan (2021-2023)" in March this year, deploying and implementing the "100 Cities Gigabit" construction project, and released The "Gigabit City" evaluation standard aims to give full play to the city's resource aggregation role, point to area, integrate innovation, and promote the "dual gigabit" to better enable high-quality economic and social development.
With the joint efforts of all parties, my country has built a number of typical cities with distinctive characteristics of "dual gigabit" coordinated development, and the "dual gigabit" network and user scale are leading the world.
In terms of 5G construction, as of November this year, there were more than 1.396 million 5G base stations, and 5G networks continued to deepen coverage in counties, cities, and towns; 5G mobile phone terminal connections reached 497 million, accounting for 30.3% of the total number of mobile phone users.
In terms of Gigabit optical network, the scale of 10G-PON (10 Gigabit Passive Optical Network) ports that support Gigabit access exceeds 6 million, with the ability to cover more than 240 million households, and the scale of Gigabit users has increased to 25.25 million. , A net increase of 18.85 million households over the end of 2020.
