Beijing leads the way towards the "10G era"
Beijing, September 20th (Xinhua) - "Cutting edge communication technology promotes all industries in one line. We cannot let cars wait for roads, we must let roads wait for cars." Beijing, which is building a benchmark city for the global digital economy, is looking forward to building a "all optical 10 Gigabit" model city, building a 10 Gigabit optical network infrastructure system and forming an ultra low latency all optical network, providing strong computing power connections for applications such as smart finance and e-government.
The Beijing Municipal Administration of Communications and the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology have recently jointly released the "Action Plan for the" City of Optical Networks, City of Ten Thousand Megabytes ", which is the first policy document in the country to promote the evolution and upgrading of communication infrastructure from gigabit optical networks to ten thousand gigabit optical networks.
As of August this year, there are 103600 5G base stations in Beijing, with 47 5G base stations per 10000 people, and the entire area has gigabit broadband access capability. The popularity of high bandwidth, low latency, and interactive services such as ultra-high definition video, autonomous driving, and smart cities places higher demands on network capabilities and quality.
Beijing plans to vigorously promote the development and application of F5G-A optical communication technology over a period of three years - adding new optical perception and visualization, real-time resilient connectivity, and green all optical network characteristics on the basis of gigabit networks, achieving a comprehensive capability improvement of ten times bandwidth, ten times energy efficiency, industrial level latency, high reliability, and optical communication integration; Closely linked with industrial parks, empowering industries such as finance, healthcare, cultural tourism, and industry, gradually becoming a leading model city in network capabilities, innovative applications, and cutting-edge demonstrations, creating a "1-millisecond city, 2-millisecond surrounding Beijing, and 3-millisecond Beijing Tianjin Hebei" time delay circle.
By promoting key tasks such as all optical cities, all optical computing power, all optical enterprises, all optical households, and all optical rural areas, Beijing will build a new type of information and communication infrastructure base, empowering and promoting the development of thousands of industries. By 2025, there will be over 2000 typical application cases in the optical network industry. The new generation of remote interactive teaching and applications to assist in digital governance of government affairs will accelerate their debut.
Entering the era of tens of thousands of megabytes, residents are experiencing a new digital life. The plan proposes to explore innovative businesses such as 8K ultra high definition, naked eye 3D, and augmented reality for families; Promote the transformation of families from entertainment centers to diverse life centers, and support the differentiated needs of diverse businesses such as remote education, remote work, and remote consultations.
"The 10000 Mbps optical network opens up a new space for imagination," said Su Shaolin, Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the Beijing Municipal Administration of Communications. Beijing encourages the exploration of various potential innovative businesses and scenarios, empowers the digital transformation of various industries, and helps the high-quality development of the capital's economy and society.
