The reporter learned today from the China International Information and Communication Exhibition that during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, China will seize the strategic opportunity of building next-generation communication networks, moderately advance, and systematically push forward the construction of next-generation communication networks. Not long ago, the “Fifteenth Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Information and Communications Industry” was released. It is proposed that a next-generation communication network with complete coverage and leading performance will be fully built by 2030. The 5G user penetration rate will reach 95%, the number of broadband users above gigabit will reach 320 million, and the scale of intelligent computing power will reach 980 billion floating point operations per second, laying a solid foundation for basic modernization of the information and communication industry by 2035. Yu Xiaohui, vice-minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that it is necessary to adhere to application guidance, moderately advance, and systematically promote the construction of next-generation communication networks, promote the evolution of broadband networks to double 10,000 gigabytes, promote the construction of low-orbit satellite internet systems, optimize the layout of international land and sea networks in an integrated manner, promote the expansion and quality of computing power facilities, strengthen computing network collaboration and computing power interconnection, and better support the construction of integrated computing power networks. Relevant officials said that digital intelligence technology, represented by artificial intelligence, has accelerated breakthroughs, bringing major opportunities for the development of information and communication. According to the data, by the end of July this year, there were 5.154 million 5G base stations nationwide, and the 10,000 gigabit optical network had been deployed in an appropriate amount, and the scale of intelligent computing power reached 21.85 billion floating-point operations per second. According to the “15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Information and Communications Industry”, China will promote the deep integration of satellite networks with terrestrial communication networks, develop applications such as mobile phones directly connected to satellites and satellite Internet of Things; develop 6G base stations, and strengthen the construction of standard systems in key information and communication fields such as computing power networks and quantum communication.
