Hebei to complete new information infrastructure by 2025

The Hebei Communications Administration recently issued a document on information communication development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), which states that by 2025, Hebei will complete new information infrastructure that is highly-efficient, intelligent, safe, and interconnected.

The document points out that after years of strenuous work and continuous improvement, Hebei's 5G network coverage and development progress should rank highly within China, with export bandwidth expanding, and the network connection among Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei strengthened. The layout and construction of statistics centers will be further optimized, while industrial internet infrastructure that covers all regions and sectors in Hebei has already been basically completed.

Hebei will lead China in promoting layout and development of information communications, synergize intelligent computering centers with cross-sector integration infrastructure, and establish new digital infrastructure that is green, smart, effective and safe.

As far as cross-sector integration infrastructure is concerned, the province plans to build a high-quality industrial local area network and external network and incentivize key industrial enterprises involved in steel, petrol and automobiles to establish or renovate their in-house network.

Meanwhile, based on a specific deployment plan for the commercial use of 5G networks, the government will encourage communication operators to support the intelligent transformation of road infrastructure.

In addition, the application of AI technology will be promoted in intelligent manufacturing, security and protection, and city management.
