On July 16/2021, Fiber Optic Online News: Today, the State Administration for Industry and Information Technology held a press conference on the development of industry and information technology in the first half of the year. Tian Yulong, a member of the Party Group, chief engineer, and spokesperson of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, stated that in terms of 5G construction and 5G+industrial internet, China has currently built the world's largest 5G independent networking network, opened 961000 5G base stations, promoted the construction of over 400000 shared base stations, and reached 365 million 5G terminal connections. So far, China has built nearly 1600 '5G+Industrial Internet' projects, covering more than 20 key industries and fields of the national economy, playing an important role in the transformation and upgrading of the real economy towards digitization, networking, and intelligence.
Tian Yulong stated that 5G is an important area of concern and concern for everyone. According to the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology vigorously promotes the construction and development of 5G new infrastructure. With the joint efforts of various departments, regions, and industries, China's 5G industry ecosystem has gradually expanded, and integrated applications are becoming increasingly active, forming a leading advantage in the system.
There are mainly three aspects.
One is to maintain a leading position in the construction of 5G networks. At present, we have built the world's largest 5G independent networking network, opened 961000 5G base stations, promoted the construction of over 400000 shared base stations, and reached 365 million 5G terminal connections.
Secondly, the advantages of the 5G industry continue to expand. The proportion of 5G standard essential patents declared by Chinese enterprises continues to lead the world, with Huawei and ZTE's 5G equipment market share exceeding 50%. From January to June this year, the domestic shipment volume of 5G mobile phones reached 128 million units, accounting for 73.4% of the total.
Thirdly, the integration of 5G applications into various industries has become significant. Since two years of commercial use, 5G has been integrated into industry, energy, medical and other industries, playing an important role, opening up a new path and providing a new engine for the Digital transformation of the economy and society and the development of the digital economy.
The Industrial Internet is our key focus this year. We rely on the Industrial Internet Innovation and Development Project, focus on the 5G application industry, and make efforts in the research and development and industrialization of key system equipment, especially in the application of the '5G+Industrial Internet'. Through on-site meetings, we conduct demonstration and promotion in key industries, key areas, and advantageous areas, from point to area, Through typical cases to promote the application of '5G+Industrial Internet' and accelerate integrated development, a number of achievements have been achieved, gradually deepening the development of '5G+Internet'. At present, there are nearly 1600 projects that have completed the '5G+Industrial Internet', covering more than 20 key industries and fields of the national economy. It has played an important role in the transformation and upgrading of the real economy towards digitization, networking, and intelligence.
The next step of '5G+Industrial Internet' will continue to be the focus of our work. We have already introduced two action plans, one is the 5G Application 'Sailing' action plan, and the other is the Industrial Internet Innovation and Development action plan, focusing on four aspects.
One is to continue to consolidate the network foundation. Adhere to the principle of moderate advancement, promote the construction of 5G networks, and accelerate the development of 5G networks in key areas and industries such as factories and parks
