5G leader globally

CHINA is set to lead 5G development globally due to huge investment in research, network infrastructure and mobile technology, Shanghai Daily learned at the Mobile World Congress Shanghai yesterday.

One of highlights of the city’s biggest telecommunications fair held annually was that China Mobile, the world’s biggest mobile carrier, made the country’s first 5G call across multi-vendors based on SA (Stand Alone) technology with technical support from Ericsson and Intel.

The telco will also start large-scale 5G testing nationwide this year with the aim of trialing 5G commercially in 2019 and fully launch the 5G service in 2020, Shang Bing, chairman of China Mobile, said at the event.

Huawei Technologies said it plans to release its first 5G smartphone “as early as” June 2019.
