"We have started the construction of the first batch of 3,143 5G base stations, which will be completed by around the end of May," said Guo Zhihan, deputy director of Guizhou Communications Administration.
The province will invest a total of 20 billion yuan (about 2.82 billion U.S. dollars) in 5G construction and set up 32,000 5G base stations from 2019 to 2022, achieving the full commercial use of 5G by 2022.
Guizhou is known as "data valley" as China established the first big data pilot zone there in 2012. A moderate climate, sufficient power supply, and adequate network infrastructure make it attractive to big data enterprises.
