In the Baidu index, the popularity of the word "new infrastructure" began to rise rapidly on March 4, and remained hot for more than a month. Related hot words include "5G", "What does new infrastructure mean", "UHV", "charging pile", "industrial Internet" and "data center".

From that day on, the construction of new infrastructure, that is, "new infrastructure", has become an important topic on the Internet.

What exactly is "new infrastructure"?

In fact, the new infrastructure construction first attracted people's attention at the Central Economic Work Conference at the end of 20 18. The meeting called for strengthening the construction of new infrastructure such as artificial intelligence, industrial Internet and Internet of Things.

According to the website of Machine Heart, "new infrastructure" is not a new concept. As early as the Central Economic Work Conference held at the end of 20 18, the positioning of new infrastructure construction such as 5G, artificial intelligence and industrial Internet was clarified. Subsequently, the country gradually deepened the deployment of "new infrastructure", especially in 2020. 65438 10 3 The first executive meeting of the State Council in 2020 put forward a new policy to support infrastructure investment such as information network. Since then, many local government work reports have made the construction of 5G networks the focus of investment in 2020, and some provinces have also defined the construction goals of 5G base stations. "From the repeated deployment of high-level officials to the enthusiasm of the capital market, the most obvious and intuitive feeling for the public is that the' new infrastructure' is really on fire."

The "Shangguan News" website asked a question, "What is the unusually hot" new infrastructure "? This paper puts forward seven key points, namely, "5G+: the number of base stations to be built this year is expected to exceed 550,000", "UHV: it may bring an incremental market of 654.38+05 billion yuan", "Urban rail transit: it is expected that the mileage will exceed 6543.8+0000 kilometers in 2020", "Charging piles: the market space is at the level of 100 billion yuan" and "Big".

The long picture launched by the "Pocket Shaanxi" APP is clear at a glance. "What is' new infrastructure'? Look at this picture is enough. It marks key areas such as 5G infrastructure, UHV, intercity high-speed rail and urban rail transit, new energy vehicle charging piles, big data centers, artificial intelligence, and industrial Internet.

In an article by Lei Feng. Com, the "new infrastructure" is analyzed from a comparative perspective. The article holds that the "new infrastructure" is different from the traditional infrastructure represented by "railway Gong Ji" (infrastructure and public facilities such as railways, highways and rail transit) and real estate, and it emphasizes information technologies such as 5G, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and industrial Internet, which endows traditional transportation and urban infrastructure with information construction with scientific and technological connotation, and has dual attributes of science and technology and infrastructure. At the same time, this paper believes that once the "new infrastructure" is implemented and effectively promoted, it will provide an opportunity to bridge the digital divide and narrow the regional gap. In the announced plans, many areas with a total investment of more than one trillion yuan in "new infrastructure" are central and western provinces.

WeChat official account Tencent Research Institute WeChat also holds similar views. According to its analysis, the Central Economic Work Conference in February, 2065438+2008 proposed to build new infrastructure. Since then, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have emphasized "new infrastructure" at many important meetings. This paper reviews the history and thinks that infrastructure is one of the three core elements to promote the industrial revolution. At this time, the state attaches importance to "new infrastructure", which has both the consideration of shaping digital competitiveness in the future and the practical needs of coping with current economic development.

Where is the new "new infrastructure"?

Many netizens are curious, compared with the familiar "infrastructure" in the past, where is the "new" of "new infrastructure"?

At the official website meeting of the National Development and Reform Commission, with the resumption of key projects in various places and the issuance of a number of provincial key projects in 2020, the investment volume of more than 40 trillion yuan surfaced. But different from the past, "new infrastructure" has become the new favorite in this round of investment.

On April 8, Xinhuanet reported the groundbreaking ceremony of the "New Infrastructure" project in Tianxin District, Changsha, and the heads of several project units connected to the site through 5G video. On the same day, 106 "new infrastructure" projects started here, covering 5G infrastructure, big data, artificial intelligence and other fields.

Where is the new "new infrastructure"? Yang guang's analysis. Com gives four points. First of all, "new infrastructure" has opened up a new battlefield. If the main battlefield of the old infrastructure is on the ground, then the main battlefield of the "new infrastructure" is on the cloud. Second, the "new infrastructure" aims at a new height, which means that the existing infrastructure in China will be upgraded; Third, "new infrastructure" will bring new applications, such as 5G, such as information interaction between robots; Fourth, "new infrastructure" creates a new life and satisfies people's yearning for a better life.

Economic Observer Network issued a document that the most important point of "new infrastructure" is to shift from pursuing high growth to pursuing high-quality development, and we must attach great importance to the realization of "new infrastructure" so as to effectively improve the quality of "new infrastructure".

The People's Daily commented that "new infrastructure" has huge development space, which is conducive to China's industrial transformation and upgrading, and has the dual effects of steady growth and innovation. Based on this, governments at all levels should vigorously introduce incentive policies for "new infrastructure" and strive to improve the accuracy of policies, such as actively giving priority to "new infrastructure", increasing support and subsidies for R&D investment in related fields, striving to improve the business environment and promoting international cooperation in the field of "new infrastructure".

Lei Feng's article "5G, why is it the first of" new infrastructure "? The important role of 5G in "new infrastructure" is analyzed. Sun, a professor at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, told web analytics, "5G is the most fundamental communication infrastructure in the' new infrastructure'. It can not only provide important network support for other infrastructures such as big data centers, artificial intelligence and industrial Internet, but also quickly empower digital technologies such as big data and cloud computing to all walks of life and is an important carrier of the digital economy."

The website of the State Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection issued a document stating that "new infrastructure" is a scientific and technological infrastructure construction that embodies new development concepts such as innovation and green, and is a new kinetic energy and cornerstone for the development of digital economy. According to this article, among a series of major investment projects in 2020 recently released in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and other places, "new infrastructure" projects account for a considerable proportion. As for where the "new infrastructure" is new, the article analyzes the epidemic prevention and control, and points out that "new" is embodied in hard-core technology and various new applications, such as "health code" becoming an important part of digital epidemic prevention, while digital services such as online registration and online consultation of Alipay save working time and reduce unnecessary contact.
