On October 31th, Shanghai held 5g commercial launch ceremony. This year, major countries have accelerated 5g commercialization, seized the major historical opportunity of digital transformation of the real economy, and made industrial application an important scene of 5g integration and innovation.5G has started a new journey of the Internet of Everything, human-computer interaction and intelligent transformation. It has increasingly become a key force to drive a new round of industrial revolution and an important cornerstone to promote economic and social development.
5Gdeploymentin China started very early. In 2013, IMT-2020 (5G) promotion group was established. Since 2016, 5G technology test has been launched in three stages, and 5Gtest network construction has been carried out in many cities in China, including Shanghai. At the beginning of this year, with the completion of the third phase of testing, 5G base station and core network equipment have reached the pre commercial requirements. In June this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) officially issued 5G commercial license, marking that 5G in China has developed in depth. Shanghai is also speeding up 5G network construction, application innovation and industrial development, focusing on the new generation of information infrastructure construction led by 5G, and building the brand of "double Gigabit Broadband City"; What's more, it is important to promote the integration and application of 5G enabling vertical industries to support the efficient operation of the city and the high quality life of the citizens; 5G can also promote the collaborative innovation and agglomeration of 5G industrial chain, and help the high-quality economic development.
In order to welcome5Gcommercialization, the information and communication industry in Shanghai has been fully prepared. By the end of October, 14,406 5Gmacro base stations have been built in Shanghai, 13,810 have been opened, and 12,551 5G indoor stations have been built and opened at the same time. It is expected to achieve the full coverage of 5G network in key urban and suburban areas by the end of the year.At the same time, we have stepped up to promote the integrated development of 5G industry chain, business chain and innovation chain with industry application, and more than 200 5G applications are being promoted in all industries in the city. For example, the world's first 5G commercial aircraft manufacturing plant, the first port intelligent heavy truck road coordination system based on 5G, the world's first 5G focused ultrasound remote surgery have landed in Shanghai. According to the maturity of 5G enabled vertical field, Shanghai will successively issue white papers in relevant fields, help to build an ecosystem integrating 5G industry and application, give full play to industry enabling role of 5G, and inject new momentum into the construction of an outstanding global city.
The official commercialization of 5G is the starting point of the new journey. The information and communication industry in Shanghai will continue to forge ahead, further promote 5G development, promote digital, networking and intelligent transformation and upgrading, give full play to the important driving role of 5G in economic and social development, and strive to build Shanghai into a real "Double Gigabit Broadband City".
