BEIJING, 13th May, 2025 (WAM) - 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.
The deployment of 5G-A underscores the government's efforts to boost advanced network services for industrial upgrading, and 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, a rollout described by the China Unicom Beijing branch as the world's leading metro deployment, the Global Times observed.
