Construction of New-Generation Communication Networks Accelerates; Gigabit Optical Network Covers Over 90% of Major National Economic Categories

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology disclosed the latest progress in the construction of new-generation communication networks, emphasizing that the gigabit optical network is deeply integrating with technologies such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Currently, the network has covered 91 out of 97 major categories of the national economy, becoming a key foundation supporting the development of the digital economy.

The focus of this construction is to improve the response speed and coverage breadth of the computing power network. By implementing the urban "Millisecond Computing" special action, it aims to reduce the latency of computing power scheduling, providing a lower latency network environment for AI large model inference and real-time applications, and solving the problem of uneven distribution of computing power resources.

At the application level, the gigabit optical network has formed over 50,000 typical application cases in fields such as intelligent manufacturing, smart transportation, digital healthcare, and smart education. The improvement of this infrastructure will accelerate the implementation of AI technology in vertical industries, promoting the large-scale popularization of replicable and promotable intelligent solutions.
