Abu Dhabi: China is accelerating the rollout of 5G-Advanced networks across multiple cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, marking a significant leap in speed and connectivity as telecom operators enhance coverage in subways, business districts, and rural areas.
According to Emirates News Agency, the deployment of 5G-A underscores the government's efforts to boost advanced network services for industrial upgrading. It will play a key role in frontier sectors such as the low-altitude economy and autonomous driving, a Chinese industry veteran said.
Recently, residents in Beijing's urban districts, as well as passengers on the Beijing Metro Line 3, have been able to access faster 5G-A networks. This rollout has been described by the China Unicom Beijing branch as the world's leading metro deployment, the Global Times observed.
