During the Spring Festival of 2020, the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic spread rapidly in China and spread to many countries. General Secretary Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang successively issued important instructions and instructions to conduct research and deployment on epidemic prevention and control. The whole country responded with one heart and one mind, striving to win the battle against the epidemic by adopting measures such as home quarantine, extending the Spring Festival holiday, and postponing the time of returning to work.
Affected by the epidemic, my country's 5G network construction and user development have been delayed to a certain extent, but the innovative application of 5G in epidemic prevention and control has produced a good demonstration and driving effect, and the pace of integration and development of 5G and various economic and social fields is expected to be further accelerated.
1. Short-term delay of my country's 5G development
5G network planning and construction are delayed. At the two sessions at the beginning of the year, local governments have released signals that they will accelerate the construction of 5G communication networks; however, due to the impact of the epidemic, the progress of 5G network planning and construction has been delayed to varying degrees.
Provinces such as Gansu, Jiangxi, and Anhui have all issued 5G project postponement bidding announcements. . At the same time, due to the need to prevent and control the epidemic, there is a shortage of network construction and construction personnel, some communities, commercial buildings, etc. cannot enter the site for construction, poor logistics cause 5G equipment to be unable to be in place, and projects under construction may also be delayed in delivery.
The growth of 5G users has slowed down. The governments of some regions with severe epidemics have explicitly requested the temporary closure of business halls serving foreign countries, and some schools, communities, and villages have adopted closed management and control measures.
The resumption of operation of operators’ business halls has been greatly affected, and offline marketing activities are difficult to carry out, affecting existing users to 5G and thousands Mega network upgrade. At the same time, the epidemic will also inhibit the demand for 5G mobile phone replacement. The Spring Festival holiday, which should be the peak sales season, encounters a "cold field". IDC predicts that the domestic mobile phone market shipments in the first quarter will decline by about 30% year-on-year, which will have a negative impact on the growth of 5G users.
