The number of 5G users in Beijing has surpassed 6 million, an article in Beijing Daily said on Wednesday, citing data from a digital economy forum in the city.

Liu Yulin, deputy head of information and communications technology development at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at the forum that the build-out of 5G in China has been developing rapidly.

As of the end of June, more than 961,000 5G base stations had been installed in China, covering all cities at prefecture level and above. The number of 5G mobile terminal connections has reached 365 million units, accounting for more than 80 percent of all connections globally, Liu said.

Wang Lei, an official of the Beijing municipal government, said 5G signals cover the city within the 5th Ring Road and in the Tongzhou sub-city district.
