Guangdong’s draft provincial information and communications plan (15th Five-Year Plan) calls for orderly large-scale deployment of 5G-A in Pearl River Delta cities with continuous hotspot coverage and active participation in MIIT 6G trials, aiming to take an early lead in 6G construction and commercial roll-out. The draft seeks to expand 10G PON pilots, accelerate campus network upgrades and scale deployment of new fiber types including G.654E, with a specific push for large-scale deployment of

Guangdong’s draft provincial information and communications plan (15th Five-Year Plan) calls for orderly large-scale deployment of 5G-A in Pearl River Delta cities with continuous hotspot coverage and active participation in MIIT 6G trials, aiming to take an early lead in 6G construction and commercial roll-out. The draft seeks to expand 10G PON pilots, accelerate campus network upgrades and scale deployment of new fiber types including G.654E, with a specific push for large-scale deployment of 800G optical transmission systems and all-optical cross-connect equipment to build a high-bandwidth, low-latency, high-reliability all-optical bearer. It also calls for deepening IPv6 single‑stack rollout and actively deploying a quantum communication backbone, advancing 400G-plus high-speed quantum channels.
