SHANGHAI, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- The National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai, the main venue for the upcoming second China International Import Expo (CIIE), will be fully covered by the 5G network, its organizer said Thursday.
A 5G test network was realized during the first CIIE last year, laying the foundation for full coverage this year.
The integration of 5G with wireless cameras, AR navigation, high-definition video live broadcasts and automatic pilots will make the expo smarter and more convenient for visitors, according to the organizing committee.
China Unicom's Shanghai company has deployed 1,553 5G telecom points in the venue and 15 macro stations in the surrounding area, said Ye Qiang from the company, adding that the 5G network will also be launched in major transport hubs such as the city's high-speed rail station and airport.
