5.5G promises significant improvements over 5G, including 10 times faster network capacity, peak downlink rates in the tens of gigabits per second, and millisecond-level latency. This translates to faster downloads, smoother streaming, and more responsive online gaming.
The new technology also aims to improve connection scale, enabling a low-cost trillion-level Internet of Things (IoT) network. Additionally, 5.5G integrates air and space networks, potentially providing wider coverage.
China Mobile says it has played a leading role in developing 5G-A standards and will launch the world’s largest commercial deployment of the network in over 300 cities this year. The company also plans to promote the release of over 20 5G-A compatible phones within the year.
To showcase the new network, China Mobile has established 5G-A demonstration halls in various locations across China. Customers with the OPPO Find X7 Ultra can visit these halls to experience the 5.5G network firsthand.
China Mobile’s Vice President, Gao Tongqing, stated that this launch will further accelerate the development of new information infrastructure and unlock the full potential of 5G technology. The company plans to achieve widespread adoption of 5.5G in China through partnerships with manufacturers and chip suppliers.
The first batch of 100 cities to receive commercial 5G-A networks include major metropolitan areas like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
