Release date：2022/03/09
According to Tencent Network News On the morning of March 8, after the second plenary session of the Fifth Session of the 13th National People's Congress, the "ministerial channel" was opened, and some of the heads of relevant ministries and commissions of the State Council were invited to accept online video interviews.
A reporter asked: Since the commercialization of 5G, many enterprises have taken the use and development of 5G technology as an important opportunity. How does the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology view accelerating the development of 5G this year?
It is said that the development of 5G now has a very good foundation. On the one hand, there is network construction. China's 5G network is now the world's leading and largest. The total number of base stations exceeded 1.425 million, and the actual number of connected users exceeded 500 million. Everyone also felt the convenience of life and work. Many application scenarios are emerging. For example, the Beijing Winter Olympics, which has just been successfully held, has made the application of 5G technology richer for people who cannot be present in person. The next thing is to work on the base station, and now it's not enough.
In addition, it is necessary to further expand and enrich the application scenarios to facilitate everyone's work and life. We also encourage more application cases, application scenarios, application software, and application practices to emerge, and do a good job in promoting and leading demonstrations, so that 5G applications can emerge more extensively.
Moreover, in the process of 5G development, it is necessary for all walks of life to form a joint force and accommodate each other, so that the development of 5G will maintain a leading position in technology and have more innovation. Here, while developing 5G, we should also consider the evolution direction and technical route of the next-generation communication technology, and plan and deploy in advance for the development of the next-generation communication technology, that is, 6G.
