Ten Projects from Ningbo Selected for Zhejiang Province's 10G Optical Network Pilot Program, Ranking the First in Total Number Province-Wide

In the shortlist for the 10G optical network pilot projects, ten projects from our city were successfully selected, claiming the highest number selected in the province.

As one of China's first Gigabit Cities, our city has fully implemented the decisions of the CPC Ningbo Municipal Committee and the Ningbo Municipal People’s Government, advanced the layout and construction of information infrastructure, and facilitated digital-intelligent transformation. Ningbo has been successively designated as a national pilot city for integrated "5G+Industrial Internet" applications, a Beidou large-scale application pilot city in industrial and information technology sectors, and a key city for the "Sail" Action plan on 5G applications.

Since its launch one year ago, the Ningbo national-level internet backbone direct connection point has significantly enhanced our city's network service capabilities. The first packet delay performance when accessing top 50 websites has been improved by 29%, popular video download speeds increased by 8%, and frequently downloaded file download speeds risen by 5%.

Meanwhile, as 5G and other digital technologies accelerate their penetration across socioeconomic sectors, Ningbo has cumulatively built 39,000 5G base stations and won 35 awards at the national "Blooming Cup" 5G Application Competition.

For the next step, Ningbo will intensify planning and construction of new information infrastructure including 5G-Advanced, 10G optical networks, Beidou, and Industrial Internet, etc., and elevate technological innovation and industrial development in the digital economy, thus providing a solid digital foundation for our city's digital-intelligent transformation.
