On December 20, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the construction of gigabit cities in 2022, in which Shenyang was awarded as a national "gigabit city" with its excellent performance in key indicators.

According to the report of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the number of 5G base stations per 10,000 people in Shenyang reaches 22.4, 5G users account for 33 percent, the proportion of 10G-PON ports and users of 500M and above account for 28 percent. The completion of the above four key indicators of gigabit cities in Shenyang ranks first in Liaoning Province.

What is "dual gigabit"?

Downloading HD movies without effort and driving underground without fear of losing connection ...... To put it simply, "dual gigabit" refers to 5G mobile network gigabit and fiber broadband network gigabit, featuring large bandwidth, high speed and low latency. 5G networks and gigabit broadband are an organic whole that converges and complements each other.

5G is generally applicable to outdoor mobile scenarios and is more convenient, flexible and fast to deploy access compared to gigabit broadband. Gigabit broadband is generally applicable to households, offices and other indoor fixed scenarios, relative to 5G wireless access, gigabit broadband has the unique stability and reliability characteristics of fixed networks. The integration of the two can bring users a seamless communication experience at the same speed as fixed and mobile.

Centering on the construction of "dual gigabit" city, Shenyang has established a working mechanism that is personally organized by municipal leaders, promoted jointly by city and district, and cooperated by government and enterprise. Shenyang has issued a series of policy and institutional documents such as "Implementation Plan for Creating a 'Dual Gigabit' City in Shenyang" and "Rules for Implementing Policies to Support 5G Industry Application Scenarios in Shenyang". Through typical case demonstrations, they have deepened the integrated application of 5G, covering many fields, including people's livelihood, manufacturing and education.

How is the "dual gigabit" built in Shenyang?

With the support of Liaoning Communications Administration and the cooperation of basic telecommunication enterprises, Shenyang has accelerated the development of "dual gigabit" network.

In terms of 5G base station construction, since the beginning of this year, in accordance with the principle of "based on the current, moderately advanced, scientific planning and pay attention to benefits", the scale of 5G base stations in our city has reached a new high, with a total of 30,000 5G base stations built, and the scale of 5G base stations ranked first among the three provinces in Northeast China. Municipal public hospitals (tertiary hospital or above), key universities, key areas for cultural tourism, railway stations (Grade II or above), trunk airports, key roads and other important places that operate passenger transport services have basically achieved continuous coverage of 5G network, with the 5G network access rate reaching 100 percent.

In terms of gigabit optical network construction, Shenyang has deployed more than 80,000 10G-PON ports in total, with the proportion of 10G-PON ports reaching 28.09 percent, and has achieved coverage for more than 700 industrial parks, business buildings, schools, medical and health institutions and other places. At the same time, Shenyang deepened the gigabit optical network coverage for urban households.

Empowering high-quality development of digital economy

The relevant person in charge of Shenyang Bureau of Industry and Information Technology introduced that "dual gigabit", as an important part of the construction of new infrastructure, is becoming an important cornerstone to drive technology application innovation, promote industrial optimization and upgrading, release the potential of emerging consumption, and improve people's well-being. It is of great significance to the construction of  boosting China's strength in cyberspace and the realization of high-quality economic development.

In the next step, Shenyang will deepen the collaborative deployment of "dual gigabit" network, accelerate the application of "dual gigabit" network in manufacturing industry, ultra-high definition video, medical health, smart city and other fields, promote the high-quality development of 5G+industrial Internet, guide the formation of a new situation of "dual gigabit" construction and application with perfect network foundation, mutual promotion of supply and demand, innovative integration and rich application, and empower the high-quality development of Shenyang economy and society.
