BEIJING, Sept. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- East China's
Ningbo city, an important
contributor to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and one of the
Chinese cities piloting implemention of the national strategic plan
to further develop the manufacturing sector in China, is speeding up smart city
construction.
On June 5 this year, Ningbo released its action plan for promoting
new infrastructure construction during the 2020-2022 period,
pointing out that it would use cloud computing, big data, Internet
of Things, 5G, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technologies
in such areas as governance, healthcare, industrial economy to make
urban governance and public services smarter.
The coastal city initiated a city brain project with investment
of 460 million yuan on August 8. Prioritizing the digitalization of
government services, law enforcement supervision, social
governance, services for improving people's wellbeing, the project
is regarded as the core infrastructure of digital, intelligent and
smart governance in Ningbo.
The city attaches great importance to the building of 5G
networks, which are the foundation of smart city construction. As
of the end of August this year, 9,458 5G base stations have been
built in Ningbo, with 5G signals
covering key urban areas, ports and bays across the city, said Chen
Chenghai, an official with Ningbo Municipal Economic and
Information Technology Bureau, at a session of the 10th Smart City
and Intelligent Economy Expo.
Ningbo has formed a number of
typical application demonstration cases of 5G plus intelligent
port, intelligent driving, smart culture and tourism, intelligent
manufacturing and industrial Internet. For example, Ningbo Zhoushan
Port, China's busiest port, has
started using 5G technology to control cranes since last April, the
first of its kind in the country.
In the next step, Ningbo will
continue to speed up deploying 5G networks to empower smart city
construction, said Chen.
