  A signal tower stands in Gumu Township, Gaize County, Ngari Prefecture, Tibet Autonomous Region. When you turn on your mobile phone, the "5G" symbol pops up on the screen - on September 30, 2023, the 5G base station in Gumu Township was completed and opened, marking the realization of access to the 5G network in all towns and villages in the Tibet Autonomous Region. The speed and improvement of communication networks are promoting the further transformation and upgrading of the development of snow-covered plateaus.

  Up to now, the investment in 5G construction in Tibet's information and communication industry has reached 3.675 billion yuan, with a total of 10,067 5G base stations built, 2.2676 million 5G mobile phone terminal connections, and 27 5G base stations per 10,000 people in the region. High-speed, stable, and high-quality 5G network services support the high-quality development of the snowy plateau.

Live streaming, e-commerce, etc. continue to gain popularity——

Link to the vast world

  Yumai Township, Longzi County, Shannan City, has to cross the Rila Snow Mountain to enter and leave. Every autumn and winter, heavy snowfalls close the mountains for nearly half a year. People living here have moved away. At one time, only fellow villager Sanjie Quba and his daughter were left. Zhuoga and Yangzong lived here.

  Today's Yumai is very different. In the square at the head of Yumai Village, villagers were basking in the sun, holding their mobile phones, and watching news and short videos. "When chatting with classmates and friends from other places, we all pay attention to many hot topics at the same time. Like the popular topics on the Internet, we all know and know as much as they do!" said villager Yesi Zhuoma.

  Walking into the small store next to it, the boss was watching the online live broadcast on his mobile phone. Seeing someone coming to shop, she quickly quoted the price and pointed to the payment code on the table: "Here, just scan the code!"

  Today's Yumai is no longer closed. If one does not pay attention to the surrounding rolling hills, one would not imagine that this place was once an isolated place.

  In the picture, a row of green "Fuxing" EMUs are speeding past under the peach blossoms; in the barrage, many viewers left messages, "It's so beautiful!" "You must go see it if you have the chance!" - This is the 5G live broadcast of last year's Linzhi Peach Blossom Festival One scene.

  Chen Cheng, a staff member of the Marketing Operations Department of China Mobile Tibet Company, has been participating in the live broadcast of the Linzhi Peach Blossom Festival since 2020. With the popularization and promotion of 5G base stations, the "landscape positions" she can choose from are becoming more and more abundant, and she has more choices during live broadcasts.

  "In addition to the beautiful scenery, the Ring of Himalayas International Cooperation Forum, the Trans-Himalayan Cycling Race, the Yajiang Cultural Festival and the Horse Racing Festival with local characteristics can all enjoy high-standard 5G network live broadcast services." Secretary of the Party Committee of Linzhi Branch of China Mobile Tibet Company , General Manager Wu Chun said that with the large-scale coverage of 5G networks, more typical 5G application scenarios will gradually be realized.

  The Internet has opened up popularity, agricultural products and specialties are also sold to various places through the Internet, and the effect of 5G network on enriching the people has gradually become apparent. Apples and grapes from Linzhi Milin Farm, kiwis from Zayu, stone pots and tea from Medog, and Yigong tea from Bomi have all opened up sales through live broadcasts.

  In recent years, Linzhi City, based on the advantages of local agricultural products, has given full play to the advantages of live broadcast, e-commerce and other channels in helping and promoting agriculture. Many entrepreneurial college students, farmers and herdsmen walked into the live broadcast room to endorse local specialty agricultural products. The novel sales method attracted many consumers to pay. According to reports, Linzhi e-commerce sales exceeded 35 million yuan last year.

Enrich applications to improve management efficiency——

Help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency

  Early in the morning, Suolang Qunpei came to his work place - nearly a hundred continuous greenhouses. These greenhouses located in Qiongjie County, Shannan City belong to Shannan Yalong Ecological Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd.

  Walking into the vegetable greenhouse and turning on the 5G networked monitoring equipment at the door, various indicators such as temperature, humidity, soil pH, etc. can be seen at a glance on the display screen. Depending on the crops being planted, Suolang Qunpei presses the corresponding operation buttons to complete the temperature and humidity management of more than 40 greenhouses in one morning.

  "We have nearly 100 greenhouses with temperature and humidity management. From a team of dozens of people before, we now only need 15 people." Suolang Qunpei said that the company cooperated with China Unicom Tibet Shannan Company to introduce 5G smart equipment and bid farewell to the traditional management style.

  Precise management increases output - Suolang Qunpei introduced, taking a vegetable greenhouse growing Shanghai greens as an example. After the investment of intelligent equipment, each greenhouse can produce more than 3,000 kilograms of Shanghai greens in one season. Compared with the use of smart equipment, I gained about 500 pounds before. "This is all the power of technology." He sighed.

  According to reports, through full-process control, Yalong Ecological Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd. can save 6.5 million yuan in labor costs every year, increase corn output by 15%, increase tomato output by 29%, and reduce maintenance costs to 50%. The level of automation has increased, making agricultural products more competitive. Products are now sold as far away as the Yangtze River Delta region, and the high-end market has gradually opened up.

  "After 5G network coverage, we have explored various industry application scenarios such as driverless driving in Lhasa." Wu Qilin, a staff member of the network department of China Mobile Lhasa Company, told reporters that through a set of "car-road-cloud" collaboration, a complete unmanned system The driving transportation system effectively reduces the personnel investment in high-altitude working environments, and the 5G network ensures that this system can respond effectively and quickly.

  "Based on Tibet's resource endowment, adhering to demand orientation, and enriching application scenarios, 5G+ industry applications are forming a sound development model of 'promoting construction through use and promoting construction through use'," said the relevant person in charge of the Tibet Autonomous Region Communications Administration.

Remote support methods are increasingly improving——

Improve people's livelihood security

  Recently, the No. 2 Junior High School of Bi County in Nagqu City ushered in a special "open class".

  On the big screen, the teacher is telling mathematics knowledge. The students listened to the lectures and clicked on the electronic screens on the table to interact. When encountering problems, students take the initiative to ask questions, and the teacher on the large electronic screen answers them in real time and comments on their homework.

  This real-time interactive remote mathematics class is the "5G+ Intelligent Education Assistance" project introduced by Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province to aid Tibet. The teacher on the screen is named Jin Ling, who is thousands of miles away and is a junior high school teacher in Shaoxing. "I hope that through remote teaching, children on the plateau can learn more," Jin Ling said.

  Today, more and more distance education models are being implemented and transformed with the support of 5G technology, and digital education is developing rapidly in Tibet.

  Not long ago, Qu Zhen, a patient suffering from osteoarthritis, underwent a successful remote surgery at the Karuo District People's Hospital of Qamdo City at her doorstep, eliminating the trouble of going to a large hospital outside the city for medical treatment.

  "5G technology makes remote surgery possible." said Lin Jianhao, a professor at Peking University People's Hospital. Before the operation began, the local hospital's medical team transmitted the patient's imaging data and 3D modeling surgical plan from Qamdo to Beijing through 5G high-speed transmission to confirm the surgical plan; during the key steps of the operation, Beijing experts used 5G low-latency transmission technology to Real-time monitoring and control of the robot helps doctors complete surgeries in a standardized and precise manner.

  More remote support is being used in daily treatment - at the People's Hospital of Bianba County, Qamdo City, doctors consult experts thousands of miles away through the Internet. The data is transmitted in real time, and both parties interact in real time. Many difficulties are solved in the first time.

  "We are developing an auxiliary diagnosis system based on the 5G network to help primary medical doctors such as township health centers obtain auxiliary diagnosis and treatment suggestions from the 'cloud' for the first time, and make up for the shortcomings of primary medical care." China Telecom Group Aid Tibet Cadre , said Huang Xuetian, deputy magistrate of Bianba County.

  "Currently, Tibet's 5G+ industry applications are becoming increasingly abundant. We will give full play to the coordination and linkage role of the autonomous region's 5G+ industry application work team, make every effort to solve the problems of policy, funding and other element guarantees, actively promote 5G construction and integrated applications, and strive to provide Tibet with digital transformation, upgrading and information The application empowers and empowers intelligence." said the relevant person in charge of the Communications Administration Bureau of the Tibet Autonomous Region.
