Recently, the "Five-Year Plan for the Information and Communication Industry in Guangdong Province" was publicly soliciting opinions from the society. It mentioned the proposal to promote the large-scale deployment of 5G-A networks. It will coordinate the province's large-scale deployment of 5G-A, deepen the application of technologies such as carrier aggregation, uplink enhancement, and convergence of communication and intelligence, continuously improve the comprehensive network supply capacity of 5G-A, and consolidate Guangdong's leading advantage in 5G nationwide by relying on network intelligence iteration. Continuously monitor the progress of 5G-A base station construction in Guangdong, promote hotspots such as industrial parks, transportation hubs, and venues to have the capability of peak downlink rates of 10Gbps, and urban main areas to provide peak uplink rates of 1Gbps. Accelerate the large-scale deployment of 10G optical networks. Carry out a new round of 10G optical network pilot projects, gradually extending from residential areas, factories, and industrial parks to commercial buildings, campuses, hospitals, and other scenarios, select a group of demonstration pilot projects, summarize and promote the successful experiences of pilot projects, and promote the deployment of 50G-PON networks with the capability of 10G access capability from point to area.
