China has announced it has already installed nearly 700,000 5G base stations so far this year, exceeding the country’s original target of 500,000, South China Morning Post reported.
According to China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) vice-minister Liu Liehong, this figure is more than twice the number of 5G base stations already installed outside China.
There are currently over 180 million devices operating on China’s 5G networks, the official revealed in his presentation at the China Development Forum, held in Beijing last week.
