On September 7th, reports surfaced indicating that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology had recently unveiled the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Growth of the Information and Communication Industry." This strategic blueprint underscores the importance of bolstering the robustness of industrial and supply chains. It advocates for the advancement of pivotal infrastructure, including 6G base stations and core networks, and underscores the necessity of intensifying R&D efforts in intelligent optical transport, optical access, high-performance AI routers, and network switches.
Furthermore, the plan sets its sights on achieving technological breakthroughs in spaceborne communication equipment, fostering the development of 6G smartphones, and engineering operating systems that support agent communication, environmental perception, and other cutting-edge functionalities. These systems will be built upon open-source frameworks like HarmonyOS, with the aim of diversifying and enriching the application software ecosystem.
In addition, the plan encourages the synergistic optimization of emerging terminals, such as smart glasses, smart home hubs, and brain-computer interfaces, in tandem with communication networks. It also calls for expediting R&D advancements in high-end communication instruments and meters, propelling the industry towards new frontiers.
