Moreover, in order to promote the new development of 5G Hu Houkun believes that the industry should actively prepare for the XR business, 5GtoB market, and green and low-carbon development.

Reportedly, 176 5G commercial networks have been deployed worldwide, with more than 500 million users. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that my country has opened and built more than one million 5G base stations, and the number of 5G terminal connections has exceeded 400 million.

The development speed of 5G far exceeds expectations. 5G has achieved a 10-fold increase in speed in the consumer sector and has brought new applications such as VR and 360-degree live video broadcasting. In the corporate market, more than 10,000 5GtoB projects have been carried out globally; in manufacturing, mining, ports, etc. The field has begun to promote replication.

In addition, he also pointed out that more than half of 5GtoB projects occur in China. At the same time, 5G has found suitable application scenarios in some industries but has not yet formed a sustainable business model.

He said that only by actively acting can we be more agile in responding to changes. Hu Houkun believes that the following three preparation will make us quickly answer these changes.

  1. Preparation for XR in terms of network
  2. Strengthening the 5GtoB network
  3. Preparation for green development
