The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China on June 6 granted 5G licenses to China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Broadcasting Network Corp, quickening the pace to popularize 5G technology. This has offered Jiangsu province that has been conducting 5G trials in Nanjing and Suzhou since last year a chance to go ahead for full commercial deployment of 5G network.

It is learnt that the East China province has made remarkable achievements in building 5G facilities and piloting 5G services, especially in Nanjing Jiangbei New Area and SIP where huge 5G networks have taken shape.

“Take SIP for instance, a 5G network has covered an over-10-square-kilometer zone in Hudong sub-district, and is expected to dramatically change local people’s life,” a China Mobile staffer said.

According to China Mobile’s Jiangsu branch, a number of trial 5G calls have been accomplished in nearly 30 provinces and municipalities, including one in Nanjing, and the branch plans to set up 12 outlets in the future in Nanjing, Suzhou and Wuxi to provide 5G services.

At the same time, Jiangsu province is enhancing efforts to expand use of 5G technologies in industrial production, traffic, education, tourism and other fields.
