The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has recently launched a comprehensive summary and evaluation process for key cities participating in the 2025 5G Application 'Yangfan' Initiative. This evaluation primarily focuses on metrics such as 5G data traffic and the scale of 5G connections. The initiative has set an ambitious target to achieve 38 5G base stations per 10,000 individuals by 2027. Impressively, China has already surpassed its 5G construction goals outlined in the '14th Five-Year Plan' ahead of the planned timeline.

Building on this success, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is set to refine its evaluation criteria. The aim is to further broaden network coverage and boost the user base, all while fostering the development of innovative 5G-A applications. At present, the large-scale commercial utilization of 5G-A is making steady progress, with its services now available in over 300 cities across the country. China is actively driving the transition from 5G to 5G-A. As a pivotal technology in the evolution towards 6G, 5G-A is uniquely positioned to cater to a diverse array of application scenarios.
