A spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: So far there is no evidence that 5G is unsafe
On the morning of July 23, the Director of the Information and Communication Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and spokesperson Wen Ku mentioned at the press conference of the State Council Information Office that recently some media, especially some countries, said that 5G is not safe. To any evidence.
Wenku said that the security of 5G actually has many similarities with the security of 4G, 3G, 2G and fixed networks. “We attach great importance to security in the development of the network. It is not just 5G that has begun to pay attention to security issues. 5G In addition to faster speed, there are some new features in low latency, high reliability, and the Internet of Things. We also pay great attention to safety in the development process."
According to Wenku, China has always been adhering to the development concept of openness and sharing in terms of security, especially in the process of 5G development, and jointly promote the development of 5G with the global communications community. Over the years, under the trust of operating companies and relevant market players in various countries, Chinese companies have carried out good exchanges and cooperation with companies from various countries.
Regarding the notion that 5G is unsafe, Wenku said that he has made clarifications on this matter many times. Therefore, I hope that first, we must pay attention to safety, and secondly, we should not create space out of nothing. New technologies should be given development space instead of just one technology. Say it's not safe.
"We will work with countries around the world to jointly promote the security of 5G and the security of our industry. This is the development philosophy we have always adhered to and what we insist on in practice." Wenku answered at the press conference.
Wenku also explained the importance of China's development of 5G. He believes that 5G technology is different from 4G and has similarities. In addition to the large bandwidth usage of 4G, such as high-speed browsing and high-speed imaging, 5G technology At the time of designing, from the consideration of demand, in addition to the communication between people, some other applications should be considered.
"5G changes the world. In addition to large bandwidth, it also has low latency, high reliability, and large connections. In other words, in addition to traditional 4G applications, 5G also has IoT applications and industrial control, similar to some low latency, Highly reliable control applications, so its development will be of great significance to the future development of society and to some other applications."
In addition, the deployment of 5G in rural areas is also of concern to the market. According to the introduction of Wenku, before the arrival of 5G, large-scale deployment of 4G networks in rural areas has begun. According to preliminary estimates by the end of this year, more than 98% of the 550,000 administrative villages across the country will have 4G network coverage.
Wenku further stated that in terms of 5G, network deployment is usually a slowly rising curve. This year, 5G will be deployed in some key places, especially in some hotspots and big cities. As the next step of work is carried out, rural areas will be like 4G. The same is the gradual deployment of 5G.
