East China’s Anhui province will build 25,000 5G base stations this year, local authorities said at a recent press briefing. The province overfulfilled its annual targets by building 29,415 5G base stations and 62 5G application scenarios in 2020, according to Zhao De, an official with the Department of Economy and Information Technology of Anhui Province. The province introduced a number of policies to support the development of 5G last year. Government funds worth 74.1 million yuan ($11.4 million) were earmarked for the industry, Zhao said. In 2020, Anhui achieved coverage of 5G networks in urban areas of prefecture-level cities and nine development zones such as Hefei Innovation Industry Park and Anhui Tuscity Sci-tech Park. The province also bolstered the wide application of 5G technology. In September last year, a 4.4-km-long 5G-covered road, the first of its kind in Anhui, opened in Baohe district of Hefei, capital of the province. The province plans to build 25,000 5G base stations and created 100 5G application scenarios in 2021, Zhao said.
