Shanghai is taking a significant leap towards the future of connectivity by advancing the development of 6G technology. The Shanghai Communications Administration announced on Wednesday a comprehensive plan that includes 12 strategic actions aimed at enhancing research and development in key areas such as 5G-Advanced and 6G.
This ambitious initiative seeks to deeply integrate the information and communication industry with the broader industrial economy, fostering innovation and driving economic growth. The recently released document outlines efforts to expand 5G application scenarios and conduct extensive 6G testing across various sectors.
By the end of 2023, Shanghai had already established an impressive network of 92,000 5G base stations and installed 423,000 standard server racks for data centers, showcasing the city's commitment to building robust digital infrastructure. These advancements have paved the way for a multitude of demonstration applications in fields such as the industrial internet, autonomous driving, and smart medical care.
The integration of 6G technology is expected to open new horizons for businesses and consumers alike, providing faster speeds, lower latency, and more reliable connections. As Shanghai leads the charge in this technological evolution, it sets a benchmark for other global cities aiming to harness the power of next-generation communication technologies.
