On November 9, the 5G application scale Development Promotion Meeting was held in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, to systematically summarize the work results of the implementation of the 5G Application “Sail” Action Plan (2021-2023) in the past three years, exchange experience and practices, and deploy key tasks for the next stage of 5G application scale development. Zhang Yunming, member of the Party Group and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, attended the meeting and made a speech.

Over the past four years, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has jointly promoted the coordinated development of 5G “construction, use and research” with all parties in the industry, and achieved positive results in the large-scale development of 5G applications. By the end of September, China had built a total of 3.189 million 5G base stations, the world’s largest and technology-leading 5G network. 5G standard essential patent declarations account for 42% of the global total, actively contributing Chinese solutions and Chinese wisdom to the development of mobile communications; The number of 5G application cases exceeded 94,000, and it has been integrated into 67 national economic categories. At the same time, we have explored and formed good experiences and good practices of precise policy implementation, central and local coordination, network first, quality and quantity, innovation leading, joint tackling, demonstration driving, and close cooperation.
