The information and communication industry is a strategic, basic and leading industry that supports economic and social development, and provides powerful new momentum for economic and social development. In the first 10 months of 2021, my country's telecom business revenue and profits maintained steady growth, and the total telecom business grew rapidly; 5G network construction and application continued to advance, and the user scale continued to expand; the number of cellular Internet of Things and IPTV users grew rapidly, and emerging services The driving effect on telecommunication business continued to appear.
"In 2021, new achievements will be made in the high-quality development of my country's information and communication industry. The construction of new infrastructure is steadily progressing, more than 1.3 million 5G base stations have been built and opened, and 5G end users have reached 497 million. The problem of communication difficulties in poor areas has been historically solved, and the network The security task has been successfully completed," said Xiao Yaqing, Minister of Industry and Information Technology.
Remarkable achievements in infrastructure construction From January to October, telecommunications business revenue totaled 1,225.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.2%; 3 basic telecommunications companies completed fixed data and Internet business revenue of 214.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11.3%; mobile data and Internet business income The business income was 537.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.7%, showing a steady growth trend.
It is worth mentioning that emerging businesses such as IPTV, Internet data centers, big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence have grown significantly. In the first 10 months, business revenue totaled 185.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 28.8%. Among them, cloud computing and big data revenue increased by 91.3% and 33.1% year-on-year respectively, and data center business revenue increased by 18.7% year-on-year.
The development of the information and communication industry requires infrastructure construction. This year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology focused on 5G, Gigabit Optical Network, Internet of Things, IPv6 and other key areas to organize and implement special actions, and successively issued the 《"Double Gigabit" Network Coordinated Development Action Plan (2021-2023)》《New Infrastructure Construction Action Plan (2021-2023)》 《Special Action Plan for IPv6 Traffic Improvement (2021-2023)》 and other documents.
"Under the guidance of various "Action Plans", my country's network infrastructure construction has achieved positive results this year, and 5G and gigabit optical networks have achieved remarkable results as development priorities." Hu Jianbo, vice president of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, introduced that since this year, local governments have Provide strong support for 5G construction in terms of site planning, resource opening, and electricity discounts. At present, my country's 5G network has covered all prefecture-level cities, more than 97% of county towns and 40% of townships in the country. At the same time, industry entities represented by basic telecom operators accelerated the construction of "dual Gigabit" networks. The gigabit optical network has covered more than 240 million households, and the scale of broadband users with access rates of 1000 Mbps and above has reached 18.64 million.
As an important engine driving a new round of economic growth, accelerating the construction of new infrastructure can effectively expand demand and boost market confidence, and on the other hand, will continue to promote the high-quality development of the communications industry. Not long ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Information and Communication Industry" and proposed that by 2025, the world's largest 5G independent networking network will be built to achieve comprehensive coverage of cities and towns, basic coverage of administrative villages, and depth of key application scenarios. Coverage; Gigabit fiber network achieves basic urban and rural coverage.
How to achieve the above goals, Hu Jianbo gave specific suggestions: optimize indoor 5G network coverage in urban areas, focusing on strengthening the in-depth coverage of traffic hubs, large stadiums, scenic spots and other traffic-intensive areas; Facing industry application needs, support enterprises to develop 5G industry virtual private network construction Innovations in models, operation services, and technical solutions will promote the large-scale development of virtual private networks in the 5G industry; in accordance with the principle of "intensive use of existing resources, sharing but not new construction", we will continue to improve the level of co-construction and sharing of 5G networks.
5G's driving effect is becoming more and more obvious
5G converged applications are the driving force for the digital, networked, and intelligent transformation of the economy and society. "The 2021 'Blooming Cup' 5G Application Competition has received a total of 12,000 entries." Hu Jianbo introduced that 15% of the entries have achieved solutions that can be replicated, and 33% of the projects have achieved commercial implementation. The application scenarios of vertical industries such as industrial manufacturing, mining, and ports are accelerating the scale of implementation. The initial production auxiliary business has expanded to core businesses such as equipment control and quality control. It is currently a relatively mature field of 5G applications.
In April 2021, China Unicom launched the 5G smart port project at the Huanghua Port Bulk Cargo Terminal in Cangzhou City, Hebei Province. According to the plan, China Unicom will deploy a 5G+MEC (edge computing) private network environment in the terminal operation area to realize 5G-based automatic ship loading and real-time security control.
Improving the level of terminal automation with 5G network is what China Unicom has been doing in recent years. In Fuzhou Port, China Unicom provides 5G port operation equipment active safety management system, 5G port area dangerous goods yard automatic patrol robot and other applications; in Tianjin Port, 25 5G unmanned trucks have been put into use.
"At present, there are more than 10,000 cases of 5G application innovation across the country, covering 22 important industries in the national economy. Among them, education, medical care, information consumption and other fields have developed rapidly." Xie Cun, director of the Information and Communication Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology According to the introduction, more than 600 tertiary hospitals across the country have carried out 5G + emergency first aid, remote diagnosis, health management and other applications.
Although the 5G application has achieved a breakthrough from "0" to "1", a stable industrial ecology has not yet formed, and the demonstration effect needs to be strengthened. It is urgent to accelerate the implementation of characteristic applications in key areas, and promote demonstrations with solid foundations, clear models and broad prospects Application to accelerate promotion.
"The next step is to promote 5G applications in 15 industries in the three major areas of information consumption, real economy, and people's livelihood services, create a new ecosystem of deep integration, and build a dual-pillar technology industry and standard system." Xie Cun said.
Hu Jianbo believes that it is necessary to accelerate the application of 5G technology to the core links of production, and network deployment must be advanced from "5G to the field" to "5G to gateway" and "5G to equipment", so as to increase the application scale and depth of industry terminals and industry modules; Cross-industry agreement standards, implement a number of key industry standards, and improve the public service capabilities of 5G application standards.
The network security system is more perfect
With the accelerated penetration and integration of new infrastructures such as 5G, industrial Internet, and big data centers and new-generation information and communication technologies into various fields of the economy and society, the status of network security in digital transformation has become increasingly prominent. In September this year, the "Regulations on the Security Protection of Critical Information Infrastructure" came into effect, and my country's network infrastructure security system has become more complete.
"In recent years, we have formulated a number of regulations such as the 《Administrative Measures for Communication Network Security Protection》, issued nearly 20 normative documents, promulgated and implemented more than 300 network and information security standards, and continuously improved the security protection capabilities of network infrastructure." Du Guangda, deputy director of the Cyber Security Administration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said.
Under the sweep of the wave of digitalization, all regions are actively deploying digital governments, but new technologies can improve management efficiency and also bring cybersecurity risks. In order to help Yixing City, Jiangsu Province build a safe and reliable digital government infrastructure, in June this year, 360 Government and Enterprise Security Group reached a cooperation with the local government to build an urban security brain operation center. The project realizes the automatic operation of data processing, analysis, decision-making and response through the visual arrangement of security policies. In order to make up for the shortcomings of security, Qi Anxin Group deployed a situational awareness and security operation platform for Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province to effectively improve the local e-government network security level.However, it should also be recognized that my country's network security guarantee system and capabilities still need to be continuously strengthened, the supply level of the network security industry is insufficient, and it cannot fully meet the needs of the comprehensive digital, networked, and intelligent development of the economy and society. To this end, Hu Jianbo suggested that by building high-end platforms for industrial innovation, technical exchanges, and high-end dialogues, we should continue to strengthen the connection between supply and demand in the network security industry, carry out pilot demonstrations of network security technology applications, select excellent security technologies, products, services and solutions and promote them landing application.
"In terms of improving the technical capabilities of data security, we must first strengthen the construction of data security risk situation awareness and management capabilities, and realize the monitoring and early warning of data security threats. Secondly, we must encourage industry-university-research cooperation to carry out key data security technologies and product research, and carry out data security. Technical product evaluation and pilot application, and promote the application of key data security technology products through demonstration and leadership." Hu Jianbo said. (Reporter Li Pengda)
