In today's surging wave of digitalization, connectivity has become an indispensable part of our lives. However, uneven network coverage, especially in remote areas, often compromises people's network experience. The good news is that this dilemma is about to be significantly improved.
Recently, China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Radio and Television jointly announced the launch of China's 5G cross-network roaming commercial promotion, which means that even in areas with insufficient coverage of the operator's own network, our mobile phones can automatically switch to the 5G network of other operators and enjoy high-speed communication without changing cards and numbers.
So, what is 5G cross-network roaming? To put it simply, it's like an invisible network "passport" that allows us to seamlessly access 5G networks from anywhere, no longer limited by operator coverage. This is undoubtedly a huge boon for the majority of users, especially those who live in remote areas and rural areas.
The promotion of 5G cross-network roaming in China is not achieved overnight. Behind it is the close cooperation between operators and technological breakthroughs. Under the overall guidance of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the four major operators have worked together to continuously promote network co-construction and sharing, forming a strong synergy. This idea of "a game of chess" not only reduces the construction cost, improves the efficiency, but also optimizes the service and benefits the majority of users.
At the technical level, the implementation of 5G cross-network roaming needs to solve many problems. For example, how to achieve inter-network interoperability, cross-network mobility management, and security management. In the absence of international precedents and available standards, the four major operators worked together with the upstream and downstream of the industry chain to innovate and formulate technical solutions, and successfully verified the feasibility of commercial use through laboratory tests, field tests, and live network pilots.
Now, with the commercial promotion of 5G cross-network roaming, we are about to usher in a new network era. In this era, the network signal will be smoother and more extensive. For ordinary users, this means that we can enjoy high-speed, stable network services anytime and anywhere, whether in the city or in the countryside.
At the same time, the promotion of 5G cross-network roaming will also inject new impetus into economic development. With the expansion of network coverage and the improvement of communication speed, innovative applications such as artificial intelligence and industrial Internet will be more widely used and popularized. This will further promote the rapid development of the digital economy and provide strong support for the mainland's economic transformation and upgrading.
The launch of China's 5G cross-network roaming commercial promotion is an important step for us to become a cyber power. Let's work together to welcome this better future!
