5G makes life more convenient and production more efficient. In the intelligent production workshop of Jabil Electronics (Wuxi) Co., Ltd., the intelligent car sends the materials to the designated cubicle according to the instructions.
Automatic optical inspection equipment calculates the product inspection results through edge computing and artificial intelligence algorithms.
These scenes of industrial Internet applications based on 5G signals have not only improved production efficiency, but also laid the foundation for companies to rapidly expand production capacity.
The rapid development of 5G technology has benefited from the profound foundation of the telecommunication infrastructure in Jiangsu. As of the end of 2019, Jiangsu had registered 3.679 million kilometers of optical cable lines, ranking first in the country, and 365,000 4G base stations, ranking second in the country.

We have done a lot of research and development. While building 5G we can further increase the network capacity of 4G. For consumers, whether it is a 4G network or a 5G network the cyber connectivity will be better and the cyber accessibility will get faster.
Jiangsu has built 31 thousand 5G base stations with 52 thousand to be added this year, reaching out to cities, counties, and key central towns.
Jiangsu will also invest more than 20 billion yuan to promote the widespread application of 5G in key areas such as smart cities, industrial Internet, and Internet of Vehicles so as to expand new growth points and form new development momentum.
