The 2019 South and Southeast Asia Commodity Expo and Investment Fair has gotten smart with the use of the latest information and digital technologies.

The coverage of the recently licensed fifth-generation, or 5G, communications network is a feature of this year's event.

The 5G service is provided by China Mobile's Yunnan branch company, which has taken charge of network access for the event's venues and is operating a 5G experience zone and a digital economy demonstration zone at the Kunming Dianchi International Convention and Exhibition Center, the main venue of the fair.

The 5G experience zone, covering a floor area of 315 square meters, is a showcase of the latest communications and information technologies used in Yunnan.

The zone features ultra-high-definition 5G displays for the live broadcast of the event's various activities, and 5G-based smart city and big data technologies.

There are also exhibitions to show the development history, industrial trends and applications of 5G technologies in China and the world.

Also on display are robots, artificial intelligence and virtual reality equipment, smartphones and computer games based on or connected to the 5G network. Such gadgets offer highly interactive experiences to visitors as they feel, touch and operate them directly.

The Yunnan digital economy demonstration zone shows how people can access government services, tourism information and e-commerce on a smartphone.

The zone also features a smart home area, where visitors can feel the convenience brought by 5G and other cutting-edge technologies like TVs, door locks, heaters and refrigerators that can be remotely operated just through their smartphones.

In addition to the latest information and communication technologies, environmentally friendly industries are being highlighted at the expo.

There is a green energy exhibition hall showcasing the latest development in the industry, new products and technologies. The digital and smart technologies that can contribute to improving the industry's operating efficiency are yet another highlight.

A forest ecology exhibition hall forms part of the green concept of the expo. It shows how forests can be explored and effectively protected with the development of industries such as tourism, edible fungi and herbs cultivation, as well as the domestication of wild animals to reduce poaching.

Another exhibition centering on the green concept is the display of organic farming produce, to meet people's demand for healthy food.
