“5G is developing rapidly worldwide, with more than 170 networks built and nearly 500 million users developed within two years. As 5G commercial deployment enters a new phase, users need more continuous experience, and industry digitalization poses new requirements for 5G capabilities. Therefore, we believe that the next step is to evolve 5G from pilot industry to all-industry digitalization, to build a 5Gigaverse society,” Yang said in his speech.
