Expert opinion voiced at big data expo

Lu said the current speed for 5G network deployment is much faster than 3G and 4G. And 5G's development will bring in revolutionary changes like seamless experiences and smart terminals, he added.

Lu is betting it will only take around three years for 5G to attract 500 million users, compared with nine years for 3G and six years for 4G to achieve the same volume.

Lu said Guizhou has already become an important part of the big data industry in China, and even the world. The company will strengthen cooperation with Guizhou in a number of areas, including cloud computing and digital governance.
