“As always, support all parties in the industry to work together to promote 5G applications and set sail” - Zhang Xuezhi of MIIT
At the "5G Innovative Application" forum held yesterday, Zhang Xuezhi, deputy director of the Information and Communication Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that at present, a new round of technological revolution and industrial
transformation in the world is in the ascendant, which has profoundly affected
the global economic and social development. 5G is used as information and
communication. The important direction of technological evolution and upgrading
is an important cornerstone of promoting the digital transformation of the
economy and society.
From July 13th to 15th, the 2021 China Internet Conference
will be held in Beijing. At the "5G Innovative Application" forum
held yesterday, Zhang Xuezhi, deputy director of the Information and
Communication Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and
Information Technology, said that at present, a new round of technological
revolution and industrial transformation in the world is in the ascendant,
which has profoundly affected the global economic and social development. 5G is
used as information and communication. The important direction of technological
evolution and upgrading is an important cornerstone of promoting the digital
transformation of the economy and society. Accelerate the integration of new
technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big
data, and promote the innovative development of 5G integrated applications,
which will further release the magnification and multiplication effects of
digital on economic development, which will help promote the digital
transformation of the economy and society and support the high-level service
economy. Quality development is of great significance.
According to Zhang Xuezhi, the Ministry of Industry and
Information Technology has thoroughly implemented the important instructions of
General Secretary Jinping and the important arrangements of the Party Central
Committee and the State Council, vigorously promoted the development of 5G
applications, and made positive progress.
The first is multi-party coordination and continuous
optimization of the policy environment. The Ministry of Industry and
Information Technology, in conjunction with the Cyberspace Administration of my
country, the Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Education, and
the Ministry of Finance, have just released the 5G Application Sailing Action
Plan (2021-2023), which clarifies the overall development goals and key
indicators of China , Key areas and other content, vigorously promote the
comprehensive and coordinated development of 5G, and in-depth promotion of 5G
applications to empower the health industry. Various localities continue to
increase support. Currently, more than 560 5G-supported policy documents have
been issued throughout the country, creating a foundation for the development
of 5G applications. A good policy environment.
The second is advanced deployment, and 5G construction
has accelerated. At present, my country has built more than 840,000 5G base
stations, and has built the world's largest 5G independent main network
network, covering all cities above the prefecture level in the country.
The third is key breakthroughs. The joints of the
industry chain have been continuously improved. The number of 5G terminal
connections has exceeded 300 million, ranking first in the world. 5G industry
modules have achieved small-scale shipments and have been put into use in
industrial gateways, smart homes and other fields.
The fourth is to take multiple measures and deepen the
cooperation between ministries and commissions. We have carried out trials
and demonstrations in conjunction with the Health Commission, the Ministry of
Education, the Ministry of Management, the National Energy Administration, and
the National Railway Group to extensively promote the application of various
industries. The blooming cup 5G application solicitation contest collected more
than 8,000 cases, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm for 5G application
innovation. The fourth 5G application innovation was officially launched on May
16, which will further promote the development of 5G applications. actual
"At present, 5G
applications are ushering in a critical period of large-scale development. The
sustained and healthy development of 5G applications cannot be separated from
the joint efforts and cooperation of all parties in the industry. The Ministry
of Industry and Information Technology will continue to support all parties in
the industry to jointly promote 5G. Application, to promote 5G applications and
set sail." Zhang Xuezhi put forward three opinions on the spot:
One is to consolidate the foundation for application
development. In accordance with the principle of in-depth advancement,
closely following different application scenarios, steadily promote the network
construction of 5G independent networking mode, continue to promote the
research and development and industrialization of 5G enhancement technologies
and standards, strengthen the research on equipment of key systems, and
actively promote 5G network slicing and edge The deployment of key technologies
such as computing, give full play to 5G, new capabilities, and new features,
accelerate to make up for shortcomings in the industry chain of 5G chips,
modules, and terminals, and enhance the ability to support the industry.
The second is to deepen the innovation of integrated
applications, continue to play the role of 5G Internet of Everything, and
achieve the effect of integrating all industries. Strengthen the innovation and
collaboration between 5G and vertical industries, jointly carry out 5G
application exploration, and jointly build a good ecosystem for the healthy
development of 5G. Cultivate 5G plus smart power, 5G processing industrial
Internet, 5G plus Internet of Vehicles, 5G plus smart agriculture and other new
models and new formats, promote the upgrade of new information consumption,
accelerate 5G plus 4K, 8K, 5G plus XR, new wearable devices, 5G The promotion
of new 5G consumer applications such as OB vans will enhance the experience of
individual users and applications, and improve inclusive services for people’s
livelihood. Pilot demonstration work will be carried out for smart
transactions, smart healthcare, smart cultural tourism, smart cities and other
livelihood fields to promote 5G The landing of applications has led to the
formation of a model that can be replicated on a large scale.
The third is to maintain a fair and open cooperation
environment, adhere to the principles of technology-based, friendly
consultation, and mutual benefit, and further deepen multi-level exchanges and
cooperation between government industrial organizations and enterprises in
terms of international standards, technology research and development, network
construction, and application development. , To promote the formation of a
broader industry consensus, strengthen international cooperation in the field
of 5G security, promote 5G network security standards, technology research and
development, mutual recognition of evaluation, and create an open, fair and
transparent market environment.
