MIIT: Research and Issue 5G Application Development Policies for the Next Three Years

On the 10th, the reporter learned from the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will study and introduce policies for the development of 5G applications in the next three years, continue to carry out the evaluation of the construction of the “Sailing City” for 5G applications, and create a number of benchmark cities.

At the meeting on promoting the large-scale development of 5G applications held on the 9th, Zhang Yunming, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that we should promote the digital, intelligent and green transformation of all sectors of the national economy in the large-scale empowerment of 5G applications, help build a manufacturing power, a network power and a digital China, and inject strong momentum into the realization of Chinese path to modernization.
Over the past four years of commercial use of 5G, the large-scale development of 5G applications has achieved positive results. As of the end of September, China has built a total of 3.189 million 5G base stations, and has built the world’s largest and technologically advanced 5G network; The 5G standard essential patent declaration accounts for 42% of the global market, actively contributing to the development of mobile communication with Chinese solutions and wisdom; The number of 5G application cases exceeds 94000 and has been integrated into 67 major categories of the national economy.
Zhang Yunming stated that we must adhere to planning guidance and enhance policy synergy. Research and introduce policies for the development of 5G applications in the next three years, continue to carry out the evaluation of the construction of the “Sailing City” for 5G applications, create a number of benchmark cities, and promote the evolution of 5G applications from point demonstration to large-scale development.
In addition, it is necessary to focus on common application scenarios in key fields and create a batch of end-to-end application solutions; Promote the integration of 5G with various technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, and strengthen the construction of 5G integration application standard system; Encourage basic telecommunications enterprises and industry leading enterprises to clarify innovation needs, share innovation resources, open application scenarios, and collaborate to cultivate a 5G industry application ecosystem.
