Shanghai is turbocharging its tech game! The city just dropped 12 action plans to fast-track 6G development, aiming to blend next-gen connectivity with industries like healthcare, transport, and manufacturing. Think faster-than-ever downloads, smarter factories, and AI-powered hospitals—all powered by lightning-speed networks.
The plan? Boost R&D for 5G-Advanced (think 5G’s cooler sibling) and lay the groundwork for 6G, which could be 100 times faster than current 5G. Imagine streaming 8K VR while your self-driving car navigates rush hour—Shanghai’s already testing it!
By end-2023, the city built:
- 92,000 5G base stations
(that’s like a 5G highway covering every corner!)
- 423,000 data center racks
(enough to power a small nation’s Netflix binges)
From robot-assisted surgeries to AI traffic systems, Shanghai’s tech leap could rewrite how we live and work.
