Shanghai raises the curtain as China begins its rollout of 5G

CHINA MOBILE AND HUAWEI JOINTLY ANNOUNCED on Monday that they have begun installing a 5G digital system at the Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station, a major railway hub that handles 60 million passengers every year, and the project will be finished by the end of this year. China Daily reporter Li Yang comments:

The US administration has exhausted every means to block Huawei around the world. Against this backdrop, the installing of the world's first 5G digital indoor system in one of the world's busiest railway stations demonstrates China's resolve to promote the application of 5G technology will not be swayed by any external disturbances.

The system will meet the demand of passengers for high-speed connectivity and markedly improve their traveling experience. It is also an important step Shanghai has taken to build a smart city. The rollout of 5G technologies will motivate and inspire technology companies to pursue new innovations.
