Since the beginning of this year, the construction of communication network infrastructure in major tourist attractions in Urumqi has been comprehensively strengthened, and the quality of communication network coverage in scenic spots has been significantly improved.
With the continuous promotion of the strategy of "rejuvenating Xinjiang through tourism" and global tourism, Urumqi is actively solving the problems of "three difficulties and one lack" (difficult to go to the toilet, difficult to park, difficult to refuel, and poor communication signal) that restrict the development of tourism, and continue to promote the high-quality development of tourism.
On August 21, the reporter learned from Xinjiang Unicom, Xinjiang Telecom and Xinjiang Mobile that the three communication operation enterprises actively responded to the autonomous region's strategy of "tourism to revitalize Xinjiang", built high-quality communication networks in tourist scenic spots, and solved the problem of poor communication signals in scenic spots.
Wang Yisheng, manager of the operation and maintenance department of Urumqi Unicom, said that at present, Urumqi Unicom has completed the 4G network coverage of the more densely populated areas of major scenic spots in the capital, such as scenic ticket offices, parking lots and other personnel gathering areas.
In the first half of this year, Urumqi Unicom carried out the construction of supplementary weak coverage base stations in the capital Hongshan Park, Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar, Hongguang Mountain Scenic Area, Botanical Garden, Shirengou and other scenic spots, and at the same time added 5 new base stations in the Shuixigou area, shuixigou real-life performance field square, and Banfanggou township area, effectively improving the network coverage problem in the scenic spot.
Wang Yisheng said that in the second half of this year, additional base stations will be built for the Urumqi Naan Cultural Industrial Park, the East PoplarGou Scenic Area, the West Poplar Ditch Scenic Area, the Water Park, and the Shuimogou Scenic Area. The construction of base stations in the two new weak coverage areas in the Shuixigou area was carried out to improve the problem of weak network coverage.
Urumqi Telecom has achieved full coverage of 4G networks in important tourist attractions in the capital, whether it is in Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar, Hongshan Park, Hongguang Mountain Scenic Area, Shuimogou Scenic Area, Botanical Garden, Tianshan Wildlife Park, or in Tianshan Grand Canyon, Silk Road International Resort, etc., tourists can use Telecom's 4G network.
At the same time, Urumqi Telecom has also carried out in-depth optimization of the communication network of major tourist attractions this year, building a total of 18 4G sites and 2 5G sites to solve problems such as network coverage and congestion.
On the basis of achieving full coverage of 4G networks in major scenic spots in the capital, Urumqi Mobile has built more than 200 4G base stations in scenic spots such as tianshan grand canyon, east poplar ditch scenic spot, west poplar ditch scenic spot, water park and other scenic spots and around key tourist routes, comprehensively improving the quality of communication signal coverage in scenic spots and surrounding areas.
The reporter learned that with the arrival of 5G, the communication network of tourist attractions will also usher in a new upgrade. This year, in the Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar, where tourists are more dense, Urumqi Unicom has opened a 5G experimental base station, Urumqi Telecom has also completed the coverage of the 5G network, and urumqi citizens can also experience the Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar 8K VR panoramic video in the telecom business hall.
Urumqi has many beautiful parks and squares with characteristic folk culture, suitable for tourists to enjoy food and relax. With the continuous promotion of the "tourism rejuvenation of Xinjiang" strategy and global tourism, the transformation and upgrading of the capital's tourism industry has accelerated, and the tourism market has continued to be hot, especially since the "five cities" of Wuchang Tushike reached a consensus on the integration and coordinated development of culture and tourism this year, and the number of tourists received in Urumqi has grown rapidly.
According to statistics, from January to July this year, the city received a total of 42.4023 million tourists, an increase of 50.87% year-on-year.
