1. Overview
Mobile communication base station is an interface device for mobile devices to access the Internet, and is also a form of a radio station. It refers to a radio transceiver station that transmits information between the mobile communication switching center and the mobile telephone terminal in a certain radio coverage area. The construction of mobile communication base stations is an important part of investment by mobile communication operators. The construction of mobile communication base stations is generally carried out around factors such as coverage, call quality, investment efficiency, difficulty in construction, and convenience of maintenance.
In recent years, the rapid development of China's communication engineering has promoted the development of China's economy. As an important part of my country's urban modernization development, it is not only closely related to people's lives, but also the status of the communications industry as my country's people's livelihood industry is comparable to that of the construction and water and electricity industries.
China's mobile communications business revenue in 2019 was 894.18 billion yuan, and China's mobile communications business revenue from January to November 2020 was 817.62 billion yuan.

Mobile communication base stations play an important role in the communication network, and its construction should be synchronized with urban development and people's communication needs. However, judging from the current situation of my country's communication base station construction, due to the increasing communication demand in my country, the planning and construction of mobile communication base stations is also constantly changing.
According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, with the acceleration of the pace of 5G construction, the number of China's mobile communication base stations has been increasing. In 2020, the total number of mobile communication base stations nationwide reached 9.31 million, with a net increase of 900,000 for the whole year. Among them, the total number of 4G base stations reached 5.75 million, and deep coverage was achieved in urban areas.

3. Mobile communication base station equipment
With the continuous development of social economy and the continuous progress of science and technology, China's mobile communication industry is also developing continuously, gradually moving from 4G network to the 5G network era, and the requirements for mobile communication services are constantly increasing. Therefore, mobile communication base stations are also constantly developing, with higher network coverage density and more broadband, and communication quality is also constantly improving.
According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, China's mobile communication base station equipment output was 9.397 million RF template in 2019, and China's mobile communication base station equipment output was 8.937 million RF template in 2020.
