Bristol university looks for Chinese partners for 5G ventures

The University of Bristol is looking for Chinese partners to set up joint programs for the fifth-generation of wireless network technology as China is on course to be at the forefront in the 5G race globally.

Andrew Nix, dean of the Faculty of Engineering at the university, said China is now at the pinnacle in many areas of 5G, actively involving in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project process, to drive the 5G research and development.

"We would like to repeat some of our experiments from Bristol here in China, seeking to find a partner city," Nix said. "We can have funded activities in Bristol and funded activities in China. And then we can compare experiments and results so that we can both produce more developed, more appropriate, more efficient services for the future."
