Wen Ku, director of the Information and Communication Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at the press conference held by the State Council Office today (24th) that up to now, the goal we set at the beginning of the year, that is, all cities have 5G coverage, has also been achieved.

　　Wen Ku introduced, terminal, 1-mdash; In November, the domestic market shipped 144 million 5G mobile phones, and there were 199 new models on the market, accounting for about half of all mobile phones, one was 51.4%, and the other was 47.7%. In terms of the number of users, the growth is very fast, and the number of 5G terminal connections has exceeded 200 million. In terms of application, this year’s third contest collected more than 4,000 5G application cases reported by everyone. These projects have shown unexpected and very useful effects in hot areas such as intelligent manufacturing, medical care and energy.

　　In the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will work with relevant departments to further optimize the layout of data center construction, improve the level of application development, and gradually improve the application types, cloud service capabilities, application depth and software richness, which will strongly support the digital development needs of 5G and all walks of life.

　　In addition, Wen Ku also stressed that he hoped that local governments would have a comprehensive and reasonable expectation for the development of 5G, not only focusing on the goal of network construction, but also making more efforts in the application of 5G. Although the promotion of 5G applications in various places is very strong now, it is far from enough compared with the difficulties we are facing and the future development needs. It is necessary to further strengthen the summary, promotion and exploration and innovation of 5G applications in combination with the development of local economy and industry, and form a benign development model of "promoting use with construction and promoting construction with use".
