In China, the number of 5G base stations exceeded 2.84 million by the end of May as the country ramped up efforts to build the world’s largest and most advanced network infrastructure, said Wang Jiangping, vice-minister of industry and information technology, during the Global Digital Economy Conference 2023 held in Beijing earlier this month.
With technologically advanced network infrastructure, China has been accelerating the development of the digital economy in recent years.
The scale of China’s digital economy grew to 50.2 trillion yuan ($7 trillion) in 2022. The share of the digital economy in the country’s GDP rose to 41.5 percent, making it an important engine for stable growth and transformation, according to data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology.
With service models and content evolving continuously, breakthroughs in technologies like goggles-free 3D are creating unprecedented immersive experiences for users. However, these new services require stronger 5G network capabilities, making a stronger case for 5.5G modalities.
