Ministry of Industry and Information Technology
In the next three years, my country is in the introduction period of 5G development
To be moderately advanced
On October 14, Wen Ku, Director of the Information and Communication Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at the China International Information and Communication Exhibition Digital Economy Leaders Forum:
“
With the joint efforts of all parties, China's 5G construction has achieved positive results. In the next three years, China is in the lead-in period of 5G development. It is necessary to adhere to a moderately advanced pace of construction and strive to form a good 5G development model of "building to promote use" .
It is necessary to increase the coverage of Gigabit optical fiber networks, accelerate the construction of new infrastructure such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and data centers, continue to improve the service capabilities of IPv6 networks, and steadily promote the "digital + X" and "smart + X" of traditional infrastructure The development of the digital economy, the deployment of innovative infrastructure in advance, and the continuous consolidation of the foundation for the development of the digital economy.

Regulations, give full play to the important supplementary role of industry conventions to the legal system, strengthen security assurance and risk prevention, comprehensively improve the security assurance capabilities of critical information infrastructure, network data, personal information, etc., enhance security protection capabilities in the integration field, and actively respond to new types Network security risks.
Liu Liehong, Deputy Minister of Industry and Information Technology
5G will still be in the "introduction period" in the next 3 years
Need to maintain concentration
Similarly, at the 2020 China Online Media Forum, Liu Liehong, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated in his speech that 5G will still be in the “introduction period” in the next three years, and it is necessary to maintain a steady and steady effort.
Liu Liehong, Deputy Minister of Industry and Information Technology
Liu Liehong said that after years of rapid development, China’s network service capabilities have been significantly enhanced, with significant speed-up and fee-reduction effects. The universal service pilot has been steadily advancing. The coverage rate of optical fiber and 4G in administrative villages across the country has exceeded 98%. The scale of 4G networks is the largest in the world and 5G terminals. The number of connections exceeds 130 million; the support capacity of the technology industry has been steadily improved, the network security environment has been continuously optimized, and policy standards, technical means, and regulatory mechanisms have been continuously improved. In the next three years, 5G will still be in the “introduction period”, and it is necessary to maintain its strength, steadily and steadily, to promote the successful commercial use of 5G.
A good information infrastructure will provide a good foundation and environment for the innovative development of the online media industry. To this end, Liu Liehong puts forward four suggestions for 5G construction:
Four suggestions
The first is to vigorously promote 5G application innovation and maintain strategic determination. At present, the development of 2C services in my country's 5G applications is steadily advancing, but 2B and 2G services are still in the early stages of development, and there is no existing experience to follow. It takes time to explore and practice and should be viewed objectively and rationally.
The second is to adhere to a moderately advanced pace of construction and form a benign model of "building to promote use". From the perspective of the relationship between networks and applications, a moderately advanced network is the basis for application development. At present, my country has built more than 600,000 5G base stations, which has promoted the development of information consumption.
The third is to respect the objective laws of maturity of 5G technology products. 5G technology and products need to be continuously improved and mature in practice, and cannot be achieved overnight. Through vigorously exploring products and services based on 5G network media communication, and promoting the deep integration of 5G rich media messages and network media, new technologies such as "5G+Ultra HD", "5G+AR/VR", and "5G+ holography" are booming, forming a batch of Typical application scenarios and cases such as new media platforms and mobile studios based on 5G technology. With the introduction of low-cost modules that support low latency, high reliability, and wide coverage and large connections, the application scenarios of vertical industries are expected to be further enriched.
The fourth is a comprehensive view of 5G construction and development. The initial investment of 5G network construction is relatively large, but it must be noted that 5G has strong penetration and a wide range of radiation and driving areas. It is a weapon to promote digital transformation and cultivate new momentum for economic development. From a long-term perspective and from the overall perspective, 5G construction investment should help form a new development pattern of "domestic cycle as the main body, domestic and international dual cycle mutual promotion".
5G base station construction ran out of acceleration
Over the past six months, the construction of 5G base stations has accelerated. Many provinces have accelerated construction and overfulfilled the construction tasks.
Guangdong Province
Data released by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology on October 10 showed that from January to August this year, 61,625 5G base stations were newly built in Guangdong Province, which is 128.4% of the provincial government’s construction target of 48,000. The number of 5G package users in the province reached 20.74 million, and a total of 98,613 5G base stations were built (the number of macro stations accounted for about 15% of the country), and both data ranked first in the country.
Liaoning Province
Liaoning Province stated that as of the end of September 2020, Liaoning has newly opened 2,046 5G base stations this year, exceeding the annual construction tasks of 20,000. The 14 cities in the province and the main urban areas of Shenfu Reform and Innovation Demonstration Zone have basically achieved continuous 5G network coverage.
Jiangxi Province
According to the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, the province’s 5G network construction has made rapid progress. From January to August this year, 20,842 5G base stations were added, and 23,728 5G base stations were opened in the province. The provincial government work report was completed ahead of schedule. With the goal of "5G base station", the 5G network achieves continuous coverage of the main urban areas, key areas, hotspots and core areas of counties.
Shandong Province
According to data disclosed at a press conference held by the Shandong Provincial Government in October, as of the end of September, Shandong Province had opened a total of 50,000 5G base stations, and completed the annual construction tasks three months in advance. The urban areas of the 16 cities in the province have all achieved 5G networks. Coverage, 136 counties (cities, districts) have achieved continuous coverage of the main urban areas.
Hebei Province
Hebei Province stated that as of the end of August 2020, 16,606 5G base stations had been built this year, and the goal of 15,000 5G base stations was completed four months ahead of schedule, achieving continuous 5G signal coverage in 11 districted cities and the main urban area of Xiong’an New District.
Chongqing
The Chongqing Communications Administration announced that in the first half of 2020, Chongqing’s information and communications industry invested more than 8.5 billion yuan, and completed the construction of 30,000 5G base stations half a year ahead of schedule. As of July 1, 32,000 5G base stations have been newly built, and a total of 42,000 5G base stations have been built in Chongqing, achieving full coverage of 5G networks in key areas of all districts and counties in the city.
Each has its own coup to save costs
Since the issuance of 5G commercial licenses, 5G networks have been controversial due to high construction costs and difficulties.
Lou Jiwei, Former Minister of Finance
The former minister of the Ministry of Finance Lou Jiwei recently stated at the China Economic 50 Forum seminar that moderate advancement of infrastructure is necessary, but some aspects are excessively advanced, driving up user costs and unsustainable public sector debt. The existing 5G technology is very immature, hundreds of billions of investment have been deployed, and the operating cost is extremely high, no application scenarios can be found, and it will be difficult to digest the cost in the future.
This has stirred up a big discussion about the cost of 5G. 5G networks use high frequency spectrum, high density of base stations, and high power consumption of equipment. In the construction of 5G networks, the number of base stations, especially the number of base stations in cities, is facing a sharp increase. It is predicted that the number of 5G base stations will reach 1.5 to 2 times that of 4G base stations, and the power consumption of a single 5G base station is 2 to 3 times that of 4G. The network construction has large site resource requirements, difficult site selection, and difficult property access. , High rent and energy costs.
In order to alleviate these problems as much as possible, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Shandong and other places have successively introduced policies to support 5G construction on issues such as 5G planning, electricity fee reduction and exemption, and clearly opened up public resources such as municipal green space, roads and street light poles, and commercial buildings for communication infrastructure. Construction.
Among them, Shanghai clearly implements subsidies for 5G power access and transformation. Power access and transformation costs are subsidized at the standard of 30,000 yuan per base station based on the actual number of base stations completed, and operating power costs are actually incurred by communication operators and tower companies. 20% of the electricity bill will be subsidized.
Hubei Province has clearly implemented the 5G "10,000 Station Project" to promote new information consumption. The provincial, city, and county finances will arrange a total of 200 million yuan per year at a ratio of 1:2:2, and subsidize and arrange new 5G macro base stations for three consecutive years. Government special bonds support the construction of 5G base stations.
The Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission specially issued the "Notice on Relevant Issues Concerning Reducing the Cost of Electricity for 5G Base Stations", which clarified that the peak and valley electricity price standards and time divisions of communication base stations are implemented in accordance with the peak and valley electricity price policies of the original ordinary industrial users in each city. Communication base stations in Shenzhen are implemented in accordance with Shenzhen's current peak and valley tariff policy.
Gao Fang, deputy director of the Shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, said that Shandong Province has adopted measures such as direct power supply transformation, transfer power supply price limit, and public resource opening supervision. In response to the difficulty of entering the site for the 6981 5G base stations proposed by Shandong Tower, dispatching meetings and coordination meetings are held regularly to coordinate one by one. All have been resolved so far. The annual rent for 5G base stations can be reduced and electricity costs can be reduced by more than 230 million yuan.
The co-construction and sharing of operators plays a vital role in promoting 5G rapid networking. China Telecom and China Unicom have cooperated to build a 5G access network nationwide, and China Mobile has also reached cooperation with China Radio and Television on 5G co-construction and sharing. At the same time, China Tower has coordinated three telecommunications companies to make full use of social resources for the site selection and construction of 5G communication base stations.
The relevant person in charge of China Tower said that according to the traditional way of building a station, it takes about 50 working days to build a 5G single base station. In Jinan, China Tower uses social resources for signal coverage, and uses a uniquely designed parking shed to deploy communication equipment in the non-motorized parking area outside the stadium. Adhering to the concept of “sharing and not building”, in addition to the two macro stations where new poles and towers must be built, China Tower uses existing high-height resources such as carport poles, street lamp poles, and monitoring poles to build 7 5G micro-stations to achieve high quality around the venue 5G wide coverage, saving more than 600,000 yuan of investment, while completing the signal coverage requirements of the three operators in 11 days.
In Jiangsu, the State Grid Nanjing Power Supply Company opened power infrastructure such as power poles and substations to Chinese towers and operators for the deployment of 5G base stations. According to calculations, according to the traditional way of building a 5G base station, a construction fund of 360,000 yuan is required to build a 5G base station. After the resources are shared, the construction fund is only 30,000 yuan, saving 91.7%. If the nation’s power infrastructure resources are shared, it is expected to reduce the area of land acquisition by 84 million square meters, equivalent to the area of 60 Daxing Airports, save 42 million tons of steel, and build 100 Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridges.
According to industry analysis, resource sharing not only saves a lot of investment and construction costs for the industry, but also shortens the construction cycle, laying a foundation for completing the annual 5G construction target ahead of schedule.
