Digital technology empowers large-scale application of 5G in the new economy to "accelerate"

The full deployment of 5G is driving economic development and social progress.  At a recent press conference held by the State Council Information Office, Zhao Zhiguo, spokesman for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and director of the Information and Communications Administration, pointed out that digital information infrastructure is the "base" of the digital economy.  According to public data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in the first quarter of this year, the number of new 5G mobile phone users in my country reached 48.11 million, and the total number reached 403 million, accounting for 24.3% of the total number of mobile phone users; the number of newly developed gigabit and above users reached 11.41 million.

On the general infrastructure of 5G, a large number of industry applications have emerged, and a large number of new technologies and new formats have been spawned.  Previously, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has proposed to enrich the application scenarios of 5G technology in the "Notice on Promoting the Accelerated Development of 5G", and made specific arrangements and deployments in "5G + medical and health", "5G + industrial Internet" and "5G + Internet of Vehicles".  Industry insiders pointed out that 2022 is a critical year for the large-scale development of 5G applications. Promoting the "sail" of 5G applications is a systematic project.

5G digital technology empowers the new economy

On the e-commerce platform, "5G+Virtual Reality" brings real consumption scenarios; in the factory workshop, "5G+Industrial Internet" brings smarter and flexible manufacturing; in tourist attractions, "5G+Cultural Tourism" brings more convenient garden tours experience...

From the consumer field to the industrial field, 5G promotes the steady expansion of the digital industry. According to Qian Kun, global senior vice president of Qualcomm, 5G technology, as an important support for the digital economy, has created more than 13 trillion US dollars of global economic output for all walks of life worldwide, and China's 5G value chain occupies a large part of the global economic output. With a ratio of more than 10%, the outlook is very optimistic. The "14th Five-Year Plan for Digital Economy Development" issued by the State Council also proposes that by 2025, the proportion of the added value of the core industries of the digital economy in GDP will increase from 8% in 2020 to 10%.

It is foreseeable that the integration of 5G digital technology and the digital economy will achieve breakthrough progress, the rules and order of the digital economy will be more perfect, and the competitiveness and added value of the digital economy will steadily increase. Under the strong traction of the country's medium and long-term strategy, more industry participants, including operators, Internet companies, digital technology companies and industrial enterprises, will increase operational efficiency and core competition of enterprises through measures such as increasing investment and digital transformation. force.

5G applications are diverse and rich

Entering the 5G era, 5G empowers the Internet of Everything, which in turn brings a lot of opportunities to many industries including the digital ecological industry, and this platform is continuing to expand. In July last year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and nine departments issued the "5G Application "Sail" Action Plan (2021-2023) (referred to as the "Action Plan"), focusing on promoting 5G in industrial Internet, finance, education, medical care, etc. 15 applications in an industry. In order to better promote the implementation of the "Action Plan" and accelerate the large-scale application of 5G, targeted policies have been issued in many places across the country, and the enabling role of 5G has gradually become prominent.

Under the mine, in the electromechanical chamber more than 500 meters deep, the inspection robot is doing 360-degree video monitoring, audio acquisition, infrared thermal imaging, etc.; Zhejiang Jinfei Zhizao Wheel Co., Ltd. will use 5G, visual recognition and other new generation information in the future factory Technology, a large number of industrial robots are used, and production efficiency is increased by 15%; Lijiang Old Town adopts a digital management overall solution based on 5G network deployment to create a smart town. Among them, the introduction of 5G cloud-based small stations can help operators save 25% to 30% of the cost of 5G network construction...

The application of 5G modules to many industries is growing very fast. Zhao Zhiguo, spokesperson of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and director of the Information and Communications Administration, said that my country is vigorously cultivating 5G and gigabit optical network "dual-gigabit" network integration applications. At present, a total of 23,000 application innovation cases have been discovered, especially 5G. The control link is accelerated and extended. In the first quarter of this year, 75 projects including the International Root Node of the Industrial Internet Identification Analysis System and the National Industrial Internet Big Data Center were completed and put into operation, and the total number of "5G + Industrial Internet" projects under construction across the country reached 2,400.

Exploring industrial synergy is what it should be

To promote the scale development of 5G applications, it is necessary not only to have a top-level policy design for precise policy implementation, moderately advanced deployment, but also to continuously promote the ability to apply digital technology innovation to solve the pain points and blocking points of industrial digitalization. In fact, with the large-scale development of 5G applications, China has entered a no-man’s land. There is no precedent to follow for success, and there is no experience to summarize. It can only be innovated while exploring, applying while innovating, and developing while applying.

On the one hand, it is necessary to rely on industrial clusters to build 5G application clusters. Industrial clusters are the main form of industrial development, and promoting the scale development of 5G applications cannot leave the main body of the industry. Clusters of various industries have gathered a large number of corporate entities, and have formed linkages and synergies in the industrial chain, value chain, and innovation chain, providing rich scenarios for the large-scale application of 5G. Therefore, relying on industrial clusters to promote the large-scale development of 5G applications, It can greatly accelerate the integration process of 5G technology and industry.

On the other hand, it is necessary to give full play to the responsibility of "industry chain length" of leading enterprises. The value of leading companies in driving the scale of 5G applications is very obvious. Relying on the scenario-based needs of leading enterprises in R&D, production, management, and marketing, and promoting the integrated application of 5G technology, it can provide value supply for upstream and downstream enterprises around leading enterprises.
