China’s 5G network now reaches every city and town, along with over 90% of its villages, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
With 3.84 million 5G base stations, China boasts more than 60% of the world’s total.
This extensive coverage follows the issuance of the first 5G licenses five years ago, leading to significant integration of the technology into industries such as power, mining, healthcare, and education.
China’s advancements include the construction of 300 5G factories and the initiation of over 13,000 projects aimed at 5G plus industrial internet applications.
Moving forward, the ministry aims to extend 5G network coverage to cultural and tourism sites, healthcare facilities, universities, transportation hubs, and subway systems, ensuring even broader access to this transformative technology.
