After the 5g "acceleration" in 2020, 5g will still drive economic growth in 2021. The ongoing 2021 world mobile communication conference (Shanghai) (MWCS) gives a forward-looking signal for 5g development in 2021.

In the past 2020, China has built 600000 5g base stations, with a total of more than 718000. Liu Liehong, Vice Minister of China's Ministry of industry and information technology, said at the GTI international industry summit of MWCS that China plans to build 600000 5g base stations in 2021, forming a benign development model of "promoting use by construction and promoting construction by use".

In addition to the three major telecom operators, China Radio and television will join the 5g network construction camp. Song Qizhu, chairman of China Radio and television, said at the conference that he planned to start the construction of 5g network in 700MHz band this year. At present, 700m band communication equipment has been mature and commercial, and it is expected to enter the rapid deployment period in 2021.

The terminal industry chain will benefit from the rapid deployment of the network. In 2020, China sold 163 million 5g mobile phones and more than 200 million 5g terminal connections.

In 2021, the number of 5g users will enter a period of rapid growth. In 2020, China Mobile launched more than 230 5g terminal products jointly with the industrial chain, with 110 million active 5g end users. Jian Qin, deputy general manager of China Mobile, introduced that in 2021, China Mobile will join hands with the industrial chain to add 200 million 5g mobile phones and 100 million intelligent hardware in the network.

80% of 5g applications are in the industrial end, and 5g is expected to speed up in 2021. Ding Yun, managing director of Huawei and President of BG, an operator, said that 2021 was the first year of 5gtob (industry-oriented) commercial scale.

In 2020, 5g industry application is in the exploratory stage. Hu houkun, vice chairman of Huawei, introduced that only a few people operated the 130 meter long mobile phone production line of Huawei's South factory. More than 500 devices in the workshop are connected to 5g network, and real-time data interaction is realized between devices. Under the intelligent production line, the number of operators has been reduced by more than 80% compared with the past, and the overall production efficiency has been increased by more than three times.

In Youngor factory in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China Unicom's 5g enabled MES system issued instructions. The cloth "lined up" one by one in the flow shop, and the cut cloth immediately entered the sewing procedure. The sewn coat and trousers were accurately matched to orderly complete the "transformation" from cutting to ready-made clothes.

In the past year, 5g has been demonstratively applied in vertical industries such as mining, medical treatment, port and manufacturing, and formed typical application scenarios such as on-site auxiliary assembly and unmanned patrol security. The application scope continues to extend from the periphery of production to the core link.

5g is profoundly changing the traditional industry. Liu Liehong said that these 5g application modes have gradually become clear, and began large-scale replication and promotion. In the future, a number of 5g application integration solution providers will be cultivated to accelerate the implementation of 5g applications in key fields such as energy, medical treatment, transportation, manufacturing, culture and tourism.

Hu houkun quoted data as saying that by 2025, 97% of the world's large enterprises will deploy artificial intelligence, 55% of China's GDP will be driven by the digital economy, and 60% of operators' income will come from the industry.

During the conference, China Mobile economic development report 2021 released by GSMA (global mobile communication system Association) think tank prospected the impact of 5g on the economy in the future. The report points out that the Chinese market will add more than 200 million 5g connections in 2020; It is estimated that by 2025, China's 5g connection will exceed 800 million, providing a range of products and services for individual consumers and the wider economy.

In stimulating the economy, the report believes that 5G related investment will help the global economy overcome COVID-19's influence and start the economic recovery after the outbreak. By 2030, the annual contribution of 5g upgrading to the global economy will exceed US $600 billion, about 2.1% of the expected revenue growth of all industries and fields in the next decade.
