China is a global leader in Telecommunication and pioneer of 5G technology. Even it has been using 5.5G in certain areas and research work on 6G has almost completed.
China’s 5G network now covers every city and town in the country, as well as more than 90 percent of its villages, data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology showed Friday.
China has established a globally leading information and communication network, featuring 3.84 million 5G base stations, which account for more than 60 percent of the global total, according to the ministry.
Since the issuance of China’s first batch of 5G licenses for commercial use five years ago, 5G technology has been integrated into various sectors such as industry, power, mining, healthcare, and education, with large-scale promotion and application.
