5G enables thousands of industries to release the “multiplier effect”

As the entire society accelerates digitization, networking, and intelligence, the new generation of information and communication technology represented by 5G is integrated into thousands of industries, creating applications such as smart transportation, smart ports, smart mines, and smart medical care, transforming the production methods of enterprises, achieving improved quality and efficiency, and boosting the digital transformation of enterprises and industries.

According to data released at the 2021 Global Digital Economy Conference, China has cultivated more than 100 industrial Internet platforms with industry characteristics and regional influence, connecting more than 73 million industrial equipment. According to statistics, China has built nearly 1,600 “5G+ industrial Internet” projects, covering more than 20 key industries and fields of the national economy, prompting 138 iron and steel enterprises, 194 power enterprises, 175 mines, 89 ports to achieve 5G application commercial landing, and a number of typical application cases have emerged.

For example, at the recently held “National 5G Industry Application Scale Development Site”, Skyworth and China Telecom joined hands to build a 5G converged industrial private network, which realized the multi-source heterogeneous data analysis of the entire manufacturing process equipment, radiating more than 800 devices in 15 production lines, and reducing the conversion efficiency from more than 4 hours to less than 1 hour. In the mining industry “5G+ Industrial Internet” on-site work meeting, the reporter saw that 5G fundamentally changed the way of working in the mining industry, each mining surface under the mine is distributed with more than 50 high-definition cameras, the staff according to the real-time screen operation, not only to achieve the “machine into the people back”, but also greatly improve the efficiency of underground mining.

Relevant policies are continuing to increase to promote the acceleration of 5G and industrial Internet applications. The Industrial Internet Innovation and Development Action Plan (2021-2023) proposes that by 2023, the effectiveness of integrated application will be further demonstrated, the production efficiency of key enterprises will be increased by more than 20%, and the penetration rate of new model application will reach 30%. The 5G Application “Sailing” Action Plan (2021-2023) proposes that by 2023, the 5G application penetration rate of large industrial enterprises will exceed 35%, 5G applications in power, mining and other fields will achieve large-scale replication and promotion, 5G+ vehicle networking pilot scope will be further expanded, and digital transformation and upgrading of traditional industries such as agriculture and water conservancy will be promoted. Each key industry to create more than 100 5G demonstration application benchmarks.

Basic telecom companies are leveraging their advantages to actively promote digital transformation. Based on the cloud network integration capability, China Telecom has created 5G+ optical width +WiFi 6 high-quality “three trillion” pan-connectivity services, 5G government and enterprise applications have gradually entered the harvest period, 5G application scenarios have nearly doubled compared with the end of 2020, and market demand has witnessed explosive growth. China Mobile joined hands with the industry’s leading customers to create 100 group-level 5G leading demonstration projects, signed a total of 900 provincial regional characteristics projects, expanded 452 5G private network projects, and drove DICT’s incremental revenue of more than 6 billion yuan. Based on the technical advantages of cloud network integration, cloud native, big data, 5G AIoT and other technologies, China Unicom comprehensively promotes the integrated development of digital technology and industry practices, and provides customers with products and services such as 5G private network, cloud networking, multi-cloud management, and international dedicated lines.

The accelerating pace of digital transformation of the information and communication industry not only provides strong support for high-quality economic and social development, but also opens up a common way for its own sustainable and healthy development. Today, the whole industry is taking great strides on the road of high-quality development.
