The new information infrastructure is an infrastructure system based on information networks and driven by innovation in new generation information and communication technologies, providing fundamental digital public services such as perception, transmission, storage, and computing for the digital transformation of the economy and society.
1、 Strengthen the overall planning and layout of the country
（1） Overall planning of backbone network facilities. Basic telecommunications enterprises should strengthen the overall planning and construction of national inter provincial trunk fiber optic cable networks, jointly build important routing fiber optic cables, increase the accessibility of important nodes, and expand the application of new high-performance fiber optic cables. Develop medium - and long-term plans for international communication facilities, balance the layout of international communication import and export bureaus in the eastern, central, and western regions, and accelerate the expansion of international submarine and land cable information channels. Collaborate with transportation, energy, and other related enterprises to plan and construct cross-border infrastructure such as international land cables, international railways, and international oil and gas pipelines.
（2） Optimize the layout of computing infrastructure. Each region should implement differentiated policies on energy consumption and land use, and guide the deployment of large and super large data centers, intelligent computing centers, and supercomputing centers that provide services to the whole country and regions at hub nodes. Support the collaborative construction of data center clusters and new energy bases, and promote the coordinated development of computing infrastructure with energy and water resources. Strengthen local data center planning, reasonably layout regional hub nodes, and gradually increase the proportion of intelligent computing power. Encourage enterprises to develop computing power cloud services and explore the construction of national or regional service platforms.
（3） Reasonably layout new technological facilities. Conditional regions should support enterprises and institutions in building standardized public datasets for industry applications, creating influential universal and industry-specific artificial intelligence algorithm model platforms, and deploying regional artificial intelligence public service platforms. Coordinate the construction of blockchain infrastructure and promote cross chain interoperability and interoperability. Reasonable layout of quantum computing cloud platform facilities.
2、 Strengthening cross regional balanced and inclusive development
（1） Promote the integrated development of major strategic regional facilities. Each region should deeply implement the regional coordinated development strategy and major regional strategies, strengthen the regional coordination of new information infrastructure, and deepen cross provincial planning and construction cooperation. The network organization of basic telecommunications enterprises can reasonably break through administrative restrictions and promote the development of backbone nodes in the region towards fully interconnected networks. The central city and surrounding areas should coordinate the layout of computing power facilities, and carry out cross provincial direct connection and computing power resource scheduling of data centers as needed.
（2） Deepen balanced and coordinated development among regions. The developed eastern regions are taking the lead in exploring new models for the construction and application of 5G-A and artificial intelligence, while the central, western, and northeastern regions are accelerating the construction of gigabit cities to achieve balanced development of 5G and gigabit optical networks. The western region should reasonably layout major computing power facilities in areas with obvious comprehensive cost advantages, and explore the construction of super large artificial intelligence training computing power facilities. Border provinces utilize external cooperation mechanisms to create international information hubs with geographical advantages. The old industrial bases in Northeast China accelerated the construction of facilities such as "5G+industrial Internet".
（3） Promote the integration and inclusive development of urban and rural areas. Various regions should continue to deepen universal telecommunications services, promote the construction of 5G and fiber optic networks in rural areas, and improve the quality of network coverage in rural governance, agricultural production, and farmers' lives. Accelerate the construction of "broadband border" and promote broadband network coverage in key scenes such as administrative villages, rural schools, border management and trade institutions, border roads, and coastal waters in border areas.
3、 Strengthen cross network coordination and linkage development
（1） Promote end-to-end collaborative upgrading of various networks. Basic telecommunications enterprises should deepen the construction of "dual gigabit" networks, collaborate on the construction of 5G and gigabit optical networks, promote the integration of IP bearer and optical transmission, and promote the synchronous expansion and upgrading of access networks, metropolitan area networks, and backbone networks. Continuously building a mobile Internet of Things system that promotes coordinated development between low, medium, and high speeds. Jointly promote the integration of satellite communication systems with ground mobile communication networks, data centers, and backbone networks. Deepen the scale deployment and application of IPv6, promote the evolution of IPv6 technology and innovative development of applications.
（2） Encourage the coordinated development of networks and computing power facilities. Basic telecommunications enterprises should strengthen the planning of network collaboration, build direct networks between national data center clusters, regional data centers, and national data center clusters, and increase the connectivity of fiber optic cable networks. Actively carry out research and development of network integration technology, enhance the ability of unified management, unified scheduling, and intelligent orchestration of network resources, and achieve cloud network edge integrated intelligent scheduling and services. We will encourage companies in computing power to rely on innovative computing power interconnection services such as the new Internet exchange center, promote computing power interconnection, and explore the construction of computing power Internet.
4、 Strengthen cross industry integration and shared development
（1） Promote the integrated development of information facilities and traditional facilities. All localities should organize and carry out the special action of "signal upgrading", promote the scale deployment of "5G+industrial Internet", and thoroughly implement the action plan of "penetration" of the industrial Internet identification analysis system.
