Ministry of Industry and Information Technology： The number of 5G base stations in China reached 1.968 million.

　　Yinchuan, Zhongxin. com, September 15th (Reporter Li Peishan) "By the end of July this year, the number of 5G base stations in China has reached 1.968 million, and the Gigabit optical network has the ability to cover more than 400 million households. The total rack size of the data center in use exceeds 5.9 million standard racks, the server size exceeds 20 million, and the total computing power exceeds 150EFlops. " On September 15th, Zhang Yunming, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, revealed relevant data when attending the first "West Valley" computing industry conference held in Yinchuan City, Ningxia.

　　On the same day, the first "Digital Valley in the West" computing industry conference was opened. Participants discussed the opportunities and challenges in the development of the digital economy around topics such as promoting exchanges and cooperation in the "digital economy", building a demonstration project of "East Digital and West Computing", creating a typical scene of "digital empowerment" and building a new safe ecology for the development of the computing industry.

　　At present, computing power is the core productivity in the new era, and it is the new engine that drives the transformation of digital intelligence in economy and society. In recent years, China has made great efforts to promote the construction of new information infrastructure represented by computing power infrastructure. Computing power has been widely integrated with digital government, industrial Internet and other economic and social fields, promoting the generalization of supply, and the effect of computing power empowerment has gradually emerged. By the end of 2021, the scale of the core industry of computing power exceeded 1.5 trillion yuan (RMB, the same below). Among them, the cloud computing market scale exceeds 300 billion yuan, and the IDC service market scale exceeds 150 billion yuan.

　　Zhang Yunming said that in the future, it will speed up the overall layout of the computer storage network, build a new information technology facility system with computing power and data as the core, accelerate the construction of hub nodes and clusters of national integrated big data centers, and guide the development of large and super-large data center clusters. The layout of innovation chain around the computing power industrial chain will promote the deep integration of computing power with government affairs, industry, medical care, education and other fields. At the same time, from the aspects of planning, design, construction and operation, we will carry out green and low-carbon basic innovation and application, increase the proportion of clean energy use, improve the green and low-carbon management system, promote the green transformation and upgrading of computing facilities, and gradually form a green and energy-saving full-cycle development path for computing facilities, so as to help the overall green transformation and development of the economy and society.
