It has become a consensus to promote the comprehensive construction and commercialization of 5G, so as to cultivate new kinetic energy and promote consumption upgrade. China is also accelerating the introduction of relevant policies. On May 17, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission jointly issued an implementation opinion on deepening the 2018 special action of speeding up the network to speed up the cost reduction and nurturing the new momentum of economic development, emphasizing the acceleration of the development of the 5G technology industry. Solidly promote 5G standardization, research and development, application, industrial chain maturity and security support. Promote the integration of 5G and vertical industries, and prepare for 5G scale networking and applications. On August 10, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the 'Three-Year Action Plan for Expanding and Upgrading Information Consumption (2018-2020)', proposing to accelerate the research and technical trials of 5G standards, and promote the construction of 5G scale network and application demonstration projects to ensure Start 5G commercial.
According to the deployment of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China will realize 5G commercialization by 2020. The three major operators are accelerating the 5G pilot layout. China Unicom will launch 5G pilots in 16 cities including Beijing, Tianjin, Qingdao, Hangzhou, Nanjing and Wuhan. China Mobile will conduct 5G field testing in five cities including Hangzhou, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Suzhou and Wuhan, and it is expected to conduct large-scale pre-commercial experiments next year. China Telecom's 5G pilot city is tentatively set to “6+6”, including the previously identified six regions of Xiong'an, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Suzhou, Chengdu and Lanzhou, and will expand the pilot scope to add another six cities.
Local governments have also targeted the huge potential of 5G, and the intensive introduction of policies has delineated the development schedule. On August 1st, Hainan issued the “Three-year Special Action Plan for the Consolidation and Enhancement of Information Infrastructure Level in Hainan Province (2018-2020)”, and plans to invest more than 12 billion yuan in three years to build a high-quality and high-level communication network. . In 2020, the 5G commercial network will be fully developed to achieve 5G network coverage in key areas such as urban areas and important scenic spots, transportation hubs, exhibitions and important parks. On August 7th, Zhejiang issued the “Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Scale Experiment and Application Demonstration of 5G Network”, proposing to start the 5G test construction and application test in 2018, launch some commercial trials in key areas in 2019, and enter the province's 5G network scale in 2020. Deploy and achieve rapid commercial use.
In addition, Shanghai plans to launch a large-scale field test in the second half of the year, and launch a 5G network construction in the second half of 2019 to carry out pre-commercialization. Some 5G demonstration zones in Tianjin will initially complete the application scenario test at the end of this year and formally deploy commercial use in 2020.
The locals tried to take advantage of the 5G race, and the competition between the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta was particularly fierce. Guangdong Province issued the 'Guangdong Province Information Infrastructure Three-Year Action Plan (2018-2020)' clearly stated that with the goal of building a strong network, we will strive to build the Pearl River Delta into a world-class broadband city group in about three years. By the end of 2020, The Pearl River Delta city will fully launch the large-scale deployment of 5G networks, with a total of 73,000 5G base stations in the province.
The Yangtze River Delta region chose to 'carry the group' to jointly promote the construction of 5G networks.
It is reported that the governments of the Yangtze River Delta have signed the '5G First-Try First Use of the Yangtze River Delta Digital Economy to Take the Lead in the Development of Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement' with China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Tower. According to the agreement, the Yangtze River Delta will build the largest 5G field technology trial network in China this year. In 2019, it will be the first to conduct commercial trials in China. In addition, Zhejiang Province also proposed to strive for two- to three-year scale trials and application demonstrations, so that Zhejiang is in the forefront of the 5G scale test and demonstration applications, and Hangzhou strives to become the global 5G “first city”.
The 5G base station as an infrastructure is accelerating construction. Beijing Unicom announced the “5G NEXT” program on August 13 and officially launched the first batch of 5G sites in Beijing. Beijing Unicom took the lead in launching a 5G scale trial for commercial use, and plans to build 300 stations by the end of 2018. Chongqing City has clearly established that by 2020, it will build more than 12,000 5G base stations and promote 5G scale deployment. Hebei Province will also comprehensively sort out the resources of the province's communication base stations and social towers (rods) this year, and complete the 5G base station site planning.
At present, China attaches great importance to the promotion of 5G network construction and commercial use. The authoritative department and the three major operators have issued a clear 5G commercial timetable, which will ensure the smooth construction and commercialization of China's 5G network.' Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, He Hezhen, The reporter said. In addition, local governments have also actively cooperated with 5G construction, especially some 5G pilot cities, and also formulated corresponding industrial development plans around 5G, which will greatly benefit the industrial development of 5G commercial and commercial.
Yi Zhiling, chief scientist of China Mobile Research Institute, said that the construction of 5G pilot cities will effectively promote the full commercialization of China's 5G network, and various 5G application tests will also lay the foundation for the rapid promotion of 5G commercial after-vehicle networking and Internet of Things.
Industry insiders also said that 5G development will inject great momentum into the accelerated rise of unmanned vehicles and drones. It is reported that Beijing Unicom has reached a 5G business cooperation intention with a number of enterprises, and actively deploys 5G networks in the fields of automatic driving, smart logistics, and drones. China Mobile is conducting research on 5G network development in the areas of car networking, industrial internet of things, smart city construction, etc., and will demonstrate 5G service applications in 12 cities including Beijing, Chengdu and Shenzhen, covering 4K HD, augmented reality and virtual Reality, drones, etc.
