“As of the end of June, the number of 5G base stations in China had reached 2.937 million, covering all urban areas of prefecture-level and county-level cities, and the coverage is continuously expanding in both breadth and depth,” MIIT chief engineer and spokesman Zhao Zhiguo said in Beijing on Wednesday.
The rapid spread of advanced communications infrastructure has sped up the technological upgrade of Chinese industries and strengthened their global competitiveness, Zhao and another senior MIIT official said.
The number of 5G base stations determines the coverage and capacity of the network. This is important for enabling new applications and services that require high-speed, low-latency connectivity, such as autonomous vehicles, remote surgery and smart factories.
