How is 5G development going? ——Hot spot analysis and data perspective of the entire network in the past 10 days
With the rapid popularization of 5G technology, countries around the world continue to make efforts in infrastructure, application scenarios and user growth. This article combines the hotspot data of the entire network in the past 10 days (as of October 2023) to analyze the current development trend of 5G from three dimensions: technological progress, industry applications, and user feedback.
According to public statistics, the number of global 5G base station construction and commercial networks continues to rise, with China, the United States, South Korea and other countries taking the lead. Here are some key data:

| Country/Region | Number of 5G base stations (10,000) | Number of commercial networks |
|---|---|---|
| China | 230+ | 600+ |
| USA | 50+ | 200+ |
| South Korea | 25+ | 150+ |
Hot events:The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China announced that it will launch 5G-A (5G Advanced) technology trials, which are expected to enter the commercial stage in 2024, pushing the downlink rate to exceed 10Gbps.
The application cases of 5G in industrial Internet, medical, transportation and other fields have increased significantly. The following are the 5G application scenarios that have been hotly discussed in the past 10 days:
| field | Typical cases | Technical Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Industrial Internet | Haier 5G+AI quality inspection factory | Fault identification efficiency increased by 90% |
| medical | Telesurgery at Peking Union Medical College Hospital | Latency less than 20ms |
| transportation | Shenzhen 5G driverless bus | Average daily passenger volume exceeds 2,000 |
Focus of controversy:Some small and medium-sized enterprises report that the cost of 5G transformation is too high and the investment return cycle is long, which restricts large-scale promotion.
Social media data shows that users’ evaluations of 5G are polarized:
| feedback type | Proportion | Main point |
|---|---|---|
| positive review | 65% | Fast download speed and smoother live broadcast |
| Negative review | 35% | Uneven signal coverage and high tariffs |
Hot search topics:"Is the 5G package worth upgrading?" became a hot search topic on Weibo. Most users suggested choosing according to needs, and non-heavy users could postpone the replacement.
Although 5G is still in the rapid development stage, China, the European Union and others have launched pre-research on 6G technology. Experts predict that 6G may be commercially available around 2030, with a peak rate of 1Tbps and integrated air, space and ground coverage.
Summary:Currently, 5G technology has entered a period of large-scale application, but cost, coverage and business models still need to be optimized. In the next two years, 5G-A and RedCap (lightweight 5G) technologies will become new growth points.
