Starting from June 26, passengers taking the Liao-Shandong route can "swipe their mobile phones" on the ship. The 5G network in the Liaoning-Shandong route has been fully completed and officially put into operation on the 26th. This is the first time that the Liao-Shandong route has achieved full-area broadband network coverage, and it is also the first time that my country has achieved large-scale continuous coverage of 5G networks at sea.
The Bohai Sea is the largest inland sea in my country and one of the important navigable waters in my country. The Liaoning-Shandong route, represented by the Yantai-Dalian route and the Weihai-Dalian route, connects the Shandong Peninsula, The golden route for passengers and freight in the Liaodong Peninsula. However, due to the difficulty of maritime communication coverage, the network in major sea routes is discontinuous and the signals are unstable. In recent years, the Beihai Navigation Support Center of the Ministry of Transport has cooperated with Shandong and Liaoning maritime agencies and mobile communication operators such as China Mobile Shandong Company and China Mobile Liaoning Company to carry out base station replenishment and network optimization work, using 5G technology to realize the Liaoning-Shandong route sea area Full network coverage.
China Mobile Communications Group released the "Liaolu Route 5G Network Test Report" on site. According to the test report, the current 5G network covering the Liao-Shandong route covers a sea area of more than 20,000 square kilometers, which will significantly improve the level of shipping safety. It is expected that 276,000 ships and more than 4 million passengers will directly benefit each year.
In recent years, the intelligentization process of my country's marine industry has been accelerating. The development of a number of new industries and new business formats such as marine ranches, smart marine equipment, and marine big data has accelerated, and the demand for maritime communications has increased day by day. . The launch of the transportation broadband network in the Liaoning and Shandong waters this time is an important node in the national maritime broadband construction pilot project. It will help improve maritime traffic safety and maritime search and rescue emergency response capabilities, meet the needs of ocean monitoring and marine fishery communication support, and support the high-quality development of shipping. important meaning.
Next, mobile communication operators in the relevant areas of Tianjin, Liaoning, Hebei, and Shandong provinces will strive to fully complete the construction of the Bohai Sea broadband network by the end of 2027 and realize the Bohai Sea broadband network. Full coverage.
