At the municipal government press conference on the afternoon of May 7th, relevant leaders were invited to introduce the main contents of the "Action Plan for Promoting New Infrastructure Construction in Shanghai (2020-2022)", including Ma Chunlei, Deputy Secretary General of Municipal Government and Director of Shanghai Development and Reform Commission, Qiu Wenjin, Deputy Director of Shanghai Development and Reform Commission, Zhang Jianming, Vice Chairman of Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization, Zhou Lan, Deputy Director of Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce, Cai Jun, First level Inspector of Municipal Transportation Commission, and Wu Xiaohua, Deputy Director of Management Committee of Lingang District, Shanghai Free Trade Zone.
Mr. Zhang introduced in response to the reporter's questions that "new network" and "new platform" are the new-generation information infrastructures with 5G, artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain and other new information technologies as the core, enabling the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and supporting the transformation from digital economy to intelligent economy. The new information infrastructure includes 5G network, data center, industrial Internet, Internet of things and other digital infrastructure, as well as new infrastructure like intelligent network vehicle and smart grid. Around these areas, the Commission combed more than 70 key projects with clear implementation subject, investment amount and promotion plan in three years, as well as nearly 20 reserve projects with investment intention and plan implementation, involving a total investment of about RMB200 billion, of which the investment this year exceeded RMB50 billion.
At present, 5G network is the hot spot of the "new network", and is also the key digital infrastructure to support the digital, networked and intelligent transformation of economic society. Now Shanghai is speeding up the construction of 5G network. By the end of the first quarter of the year, more than 18000 5G outdoor Hongji stations and indoor small stations have been built. In order to achieve the "three-year task with two-year completion", the 5G construction of the city will invest nearly RMB10 billion this year, 12000 new outdoor base stations and 32000 indoor small stations will be built, basically realizing the full coverage of the central urban area and suburban urbanization areas. The average download rate of the 5G will exceed 200MB, and the average download rate will exceed 500MB in the areas with deep network coverage in National Exhibition and Convention Center, major business districts and airports. At the same time, accelerating the construction of 5G independent Networking (SA) will give full play to the characteristics of 5G with low delay and large capacity, and enable the development of industrial Internet and artificial intelligence. In the second half of the year, the base station side will fully realize SA and NSA dual stack operation. For the next step, according to the requirements of the action plan, the Commission will further sort out and refine the key projects in various fields, implement the responsibilities for the projects that have been clearly defined, strengthen the organization and promotion, and reflect the driving effect of investment. What's more, it is important to strengthen the tracking and promotion of reserve projects, accelerate the implementation of relevant construction contents and investment arrangements, and strive to establish projects as soon as possible.
