China will continue to advance the construction of the 5G network, expand the application of 5G technology in various fields, and promote the research and development of 6G, officials and experts said at the 6th Digital China Summit, in Fuzhou, Fujia n province.
“China has built the world’s largest 5G network with the most advanced technologies. The number of the country’s 5G base stations had been over 2.64 million by the end of March this year,” said Zhao Ce, deputy head of the information and telecommunications development department at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Zhao said the ministry will make more efforts to bolster the building of the 5G network in an orderly manner and speed up its industrial applications, push forward the research and development of 6G, and strengthen international exchange and communication in 5G-related technology, standards and application.
The super-fast 5G wireless technology has been used in 52 of the 97 major economic categories, with large-scale application expanded to mining, ports and electricity, he said. Moreover, China has already established the IMT-2030 (6G) Promotion Group, a platform in China promoting 6G and international cooperation while the research on 6G is still at an initial stage worldwide.
As 5G technology serves as a critical foundation supporting the development of artificial intelligence, big data and cloud computing, heightened efforts should be made to explore possible applications of 5G and empower the transformation of traditional industries, said Zhang Wang, deputy head of the information development bureau of the Cyberspace Administration of China.
Cao Ming, president of the wireless product line at Huawei Technologies, said China is taking the lead in 5G development across the globe, and 5G is expected to play a bigger role in facilitating digitalization in a wide range of sectors covering intelligent connected vehicles and intelligent transportation.
