Beijing: 63,000 5G base stations will be opened by 2025

The "Plan" shows that Beijing will vigorously promote the construction of new digital infrastructure such as 5G networks, broadband networks, communication networks, and mobile Internet of Things. Among them, in terms of 5G networks, 63,000 5G base stations are planned to be completed and opened in the city by the end of 2025.

 

The "Beijing’s "14th Five-Year" Information and Communication Industry Development Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") issued by the Beijing Municipal Administration of Communications a few days ago proposes that by the end of 2025, 63,000 5G base stations will be built and opened in the city, basically realizing cities and counties. , Townships, administrative villages and main roads are continuously covered.

The "Plan" shows that Beijing will vigorously promote the construction of new digital infrastructure such as 5G networks, broadband networks, communication networks, and mobile Internet of Things. Among them, in terms of 5G networks, 63,000 5G base stations are planned to be completed and opened in the city by the end of 2025. Basically realize continuous coverage of cities, counties, towns, administrative villages and main roads.

 

The first is to improve the 5G coverage level of key scenarios, and prioritize continuous 5G network coverage in key areas such as central urban areas, urban sub-centers, Yizhuang Economic and Technological Development Zone, Future Science City, and Huairou Science City. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, 25,000 5G base stations will be built, bringing the total to 63,000, and a high-quality, large-scale independent 5G network will be built. The second is to optimize the network architecture, reduce operation and maintenance costs, vigorously promote the construction of C-RAN networking, and achieve 90% of the full macro base station C-RAN deployment by the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan". The third is to accelerate the construction of 5G industry virtual private networks in the fields of industrial Internet and Internet of Vehicles. Actively introduce technologies such as network slicing and edge computing to further enhance 5G network service capabilities and have large-scale end-to-end network slicing capabilities.

 

According to data released by the Beijing Municipal Administration of Communications, as of the end of April 2021, Beijing has opened a total of 56,400 5G base stations, realizing access to key functional areas such as the capital functional core area, Beijing city sub-center, CBD, and Olympic central area. Full coverage of 5G network.
