Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: Deepening “Dual Gigabit” network coverage, 29 cities including Beijing and Shanghai have built the first batch of gigabit cities in China

IT House reported on July 23 that yesterday, the State Council Information Office held a regular briefing on the State Council’s policy to promote the consumption of green smart home appliances. He Yaqiong, director of the Consumer Goods Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said when answering a reporter’s question,The “dual-gigabit” network represented by Gigabit optical network and 5G is an important support for new infrastructure and a key link in the development of smart home appliance applications.. In recent years, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has organized basic telecommunications companies to continue to accelerate the construction and application of 5G and Gigabit optical networks, and has achieved positive results.

First, some work has been done on policy supply. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has issued policies and measures such as the “Double Gigabit Network Coordinated Development Action Plan” to promote the continuous improvement of the coverage and service capabilities of 5G and Gigabit optical networks. In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the “Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Digital Homes and Improving Living Quality” to improve the quality of households using the Internet at home. By the end of June,There are 1.854 million 5G base stations built and opened nationwide, and the gigabit optical network has the ability to cover more than 400 million householdsthese infrastructures have built a very good network support for smart home appliance applications.

Second, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organized the construction of gigabit cities.So far, 29 cities including Beijing and Shanghai have built the first batch of gigabit cities in the country.these 29 cities can enjoy gigabit optical network WIFI, including network services, so that the data runs faster and the service is smoother.

Third, vigorously promote application innovation. In-depth promotion of the “Sailing” action plan for 5G applications, holding the “Blooming Cup” 5G application collection and “Guanghua Cup” Gigabit Optical Network Application Innovation Series Activities, exploring the application of 5G and Gigabit Optical Network in various fields including smart home appliances fusion application.There are now 20,000 cases accumulated.

IT House learned that He Yaqiong pointed out that in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will further increase its efforts, especially to promote the construction of new infrastructure represented by 5G and Gigabit optical networks.One isContinue to deepen the coverage of “Dual Gigabit” network. According to the principle of moderate advance,Continue to implement 5G and Gigabit network coverage in some cities. At the same time, it extends to townships and rural areas. A reporter friend asked this question just now.In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will also evaluate the construction of gigabit cities in 2022.Establish a group of well-doing typical cities with their own characteristics and competing development of “double gigabit” coordinated development. The second is to promote the large-scale development of “dual gigabit” applications, and will continue to explore a number of typical application scenarios in the fields of home appliances and household appliances to release the potential of the “dual gigabit” network.
