my country has built 718,000 5G base stations, and 5G+ industrial Internet is developing rapidly

Xiao Yaqing, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, introduced the construction and development of 5G in my country. He said that my country has built more than 718,000 5G base stations, and 5G investment has exceeded hundreds of billions of yuan, basically covering all cities at the prefecture level and above in the country. The independent networking mode is deployed on a large scale, giving full play to the technical advantages of network slicing to provide high bandwidth, low latency and other services.

In addition, the user scale has also increased rapidly, and the number of 5G terminal connections has exceeded 200 million, which may be the first in the world.

According to Xiao Yaqing, the average mobile Internet access traffic per household in my country is about 50% higher than that of 4G users, and the unit price has dropped to 4.4 yuan/GB, a decrease of 46% in the past two years, and will continue to decline in the future.

In 2020, the shipment of mobile terminals reached 163 million units, and 218 new models were launched. Innovative applications are becoming increasingly abundant. In the consumer field, 5G+UHD, 5G+AR/VR and other technologies are widely used, and fields such as game entertainment, event live broadcast, and residential services are being explored and practiced.

Education and medical care use 5G+AI+big data technology to provide services. Last year, family education and smart medical care have achieved greater development in epidemic prevention and control.

In the past two years, the development of "5G+Industrial Internet" has been very rapid, with more than 1,100 projects under construction across the country, and the "5G wings" have enabled many fields to take off rapidly.
