1、Wang Zhiqin, a distinguished expert at the China Academy of Telecommunication Research under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), has stated that China initiated its research and development efforts into 5G technology concurrently with other leading countries. In a strategic move, the Chinese government established the IMT-2020 (5G) Promotion Group in 2013 to facilitate the coordinated advancement of 5G technology across the nation.2、According to her, while 4G technology has enabled mobile internet access for consumers, 5G is specifically engineered to support the Internet of Things (IoT), which encompasses a vast network of interconnected devices. The demand for reduced latency and enhanced reliability has become paramount, and these are areas where 4G networks struggle to meet the growing challenges.3、As an illustration, Wang highlighted the potential of autonomous driving. For self-driving cars to become a reality, there is an absolute necessity for vehicles to establish instant and reliable connections with one another, as well as the capability to process data that prevents collisions at high speeds, which demands an unprecedented low delay in communication.4、China has earmarked significant importance to the development of 5G technology within its 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020), aiming for the commercialization of 5G by the target year of 2020. This commitment signifies the nation's intention to lead in the next generation of wireless communication technology.
