It is learned from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the three major operators that the target of building 2 million 5G base stations this year has been exceeded ahead of schedule. According to Li Shan, director of the 5G Innovation Center of the China Academy of Information and Communication Research, this year's 5G network construction has exceeded the target. By the end of September, the number of 5G base stations in China had exceeded 2.2 million, accounting for more than 60% of the global 5G base stations. The number of 5G users in our country has exceeded 500 million, and now accounts for more than 30% of the total user penetration. Experts pointed out that at present, China's 5G network construction is still in the stage of large-scale construction. Although the world's largest network has been built, the breadth and depth of coverage still need to be further improved. China will continue to adhere to the principle of moderately advanced 5G network construction, and realize the combination of construction and use. According to the report issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China's communication capacity is steadily improving. By the end of September, the total number of mobile communication base stations in China had reached 10.72 million, a net increase of 754000 over the end of last year. Among them, the total number of 5G base stations reached 2.22 million, a net increase of 795000 over the end of the previous year, accounting for 20.7% of the total number of mobile base stations, an increase of 6.4 percentage points over the end of the previous year.
