The significant improvement in network support capability is attributed to the continuous breakthroughs in key technologies. In recent years, the foundation of China's 5G industry has been continuously strengthened, and a complete industrial chain covering chips, terminals, base station equipment, and testing instruments has been constructed. The global proportion of necessary patent declarations for 5G standards reaches 42%, and the research and development of key technologies such as 5G-A and 6G, as well as international standard development, are in the forefront of the world. Xie Cun stated that in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will continue to coordinate the promotion of "construction, utilization, and research", further promoting the high-quality development of the information and communication industry. The deep integration into the industrial scene of the information and communication industry requires significant research and development investment, advanced technology, active innovation, and strong radiation and driving effects. It is a key force supporting the empowerment of new industrialization and promoting the deep integration of the real economy and the digital economy. In recent years, 5G, industrial Internet, artificial intelligence, digital twins and other new technologies have been widely used in R&D and design, promoting innovation paradigm change and R&D efficiency improvement in the industrial field. For example, the development cycle of intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories in key areas such as large aircraft, new energy vehicles, and high-speed trains has been shortened by an average of nearly 30%. 5G applications have been integrated into 86 out of 97 major categories of the national economy, with a total of over 138000 cases, accelerating their extension to the core production processes. In the industrial field, 5G strongly supports the digital transformation of industrial enterprises, and intelligent scenarios such as' 5G+AI 'quality inspection and precision equipment control have emerged. The average production capacity of 5G factories has increased by 19.6%, operating costs have decreased by 14.5%, and quality and efficiency have significantly improved. ”Sun Ji said. Entering the Fast Intelligent New Smart Factory located in Xi'an, the automatic guided vehicle travels at a constant speed according to the established track, busy and orderly transporting production materials. Mr. Lu Changcheng, Deputy General Manager of Fast Tech, told reporters that the factory's equipment is connected to 5G networks, and its low latency and high stability ensure the mobility needs in industrial scenarios and enhance production continuity. In addition, Fast also took the lead in experimenting with optical network technology. During the construction of the factory, an industrial PON network (passive optical network) was deployed, which has advantages over Ethernet in terms of electromagnetic interference resistance and low cost. ”Hou Lin, General Manager of the Industrial Industry Division of China Telecom Xi'an Branch, introduced that optical networks are not only used for industrial control connections, but also widely applied in industrial quality inspection, security monitoring and other scenarios. In April of this year, China Telecom and Fast upgraded their PON network to a 10 gigabit optical network. It is reported that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has launched pilot projects for 10 gigabit optical networks in 168 residential areas, factories, and parks in 86 cities, striving to achieve the deployment and application of 10 gigabit optical network technology by the end of this year, driving breakthroughs in China's 10 gigabit optical network core technology and key equipment, and laying the foundation for large-scale deployment. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the implementation of universal telecommunications services for the construction of digital rural areas. In the past 10 years, "broadband access to villages and 5G access to villages" has become a reality from the picture. The proportion of 5G access to administrative villages has exceeded 90%, and the Internet penetration rate in rural areas has reached 67.4%. The digital divide between urban and rural areas is gradually narrowing, and the new generation of information technology injects new development vitality into the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. Information and communication technologies such as 5G can enhance the adaptability and predictability of agricultural production to climate change, laying the foundation for green, low-carbon, and efficient development. The deep coverage of 5G networks in rural areas has promoted the rapid development of new formats such as rural e-commerce and live streaming e-commerce. ”Huo Peng, Director of the Industrial Policy Research Department at the Policy and Economic Research Institute of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, introduced that mobile phones have become new agricultural tools, live streaming has become new agricultural activities, and data has become new agricultural materials.
