Chongqing's first 5G trial network officially opened, and the road to commercialization has officially started

Xinhua News Agency, Chongqing, April 23rd, Chongqing's first 5G trial network was formally opened on the 23rd, which will promote the maturity of 5G products, marking the official start of the commercialization of Chongqing 5G network.

5G is the abbreviation of the fifth generation mobile communication technology. Chongqing is one of the first cities in China to undertake the construction of 5G network construction and application demonstration projects approved by the National Development and Reform Commission.

According to the person in charge of China Mobile’s Chongqing company, Chongqing Mobile 5G Trial Network will be the first to open in Chongqing’s Liangjiang New Area, and the follow-up will gradually expand coverage. Chongqing Mobile will continue to increase investment in communications equipment, supporting facilities and R&D expenses, and vigorously develop it. 5G infrastructure network construction, built a full coverage of the 5G network in Chongqing.

The responsible person said that the trial network will be open to units and individuals who are interested in participating in 5G joint innovation. The scope of the trial will include vehicle networking, autonomous driving, smart city, and online AR/VR. The trial period will continue until 5G is officially commercialized.
