Increased effort urged to integrate 5G with more sectors

Telecom leaders are calling for more efforts to promote cross-sector cooperation and better integrate 5G into a wide range of industries, in order to fully tap into the potential of the new-generation superfast wireless technology.

The comments came as a new study predicted that China will have the most 5G connections of any nation by 2025, having the highest 5G penetration by that year.

Yang Zhiqiang, vice-president of China Mobile's research institute, said 5G is not a faster 4G, and it is not a simple technology or a system.
