Krypton | China Unicom and Huawei launch the world’s largest 5G-A 100M uplink network

[Beijing, China, July 15, 2026] Today, China Unicom Beijing Branch and Huawei launched the world's largest 5G-A large uplink commercial network. This innovative network achieves continuous coverage of 100M large uplink network in key areas across Beijing, with more than 10,000 base stations. After an on-site road test, seven third-party media were invited as experience officers to jointly witness the network's "good network coverage and stable business experience" - the uplink 100MHz effective rate was 83%, and the uplink edge margin (<20Mbps) accounted for only 0.1%. The excellent live network evaluation results indicate that China Unicom's good network in the Beijing area has moved from 5G-A lighting in the whole city to a new stage of development in the whole area. "5G Capital" met the media on the road for a road test. During the on-site road test, China Unicom Beijing Branch supported the large uplink network index evaluation and AI terminal business experience through 3.5G+2.1G collaborative networking. In the 34-kilometer long test route, the uplink 100MHz effective rate is 83%, the uplink peak rate is 1Gbps, the uplink average rate is 397Mbps, the uplink ultimate experience (>300Mbps) accounts for 72%, and the uplink edge margin (<20Mbps) accounts for only 0.1%. The excellent uplink network indicator performance fully supports millisecond-level backhaul and senseless interaction of AI glasses in vehicle-mounted mobile scenarios, smooth interaction between AI mobile phones and agents, and real-time backhaul of AI smart cameras to the cloud for AI analysis and content generation, and a smooth experience for applications such as shooting and uploading. Miao Shouye, deputy general manager of China Unicom, pointed out: "Currently, artificial intelligence is accelerating its integration into production and life. New businesses such as AI mobile phones, AI glasses, intelligent robots, industrial vision, and low-altitude applications are constantly emerging. Network connection objects and business models are undergoing profound changes. In the past, mobile networks paid more attention to 'download speed' and information acquisition efficiency; In the AI era, more and more data is generated on-site and needs to be transmitted back to the cloud for analysis and processing in real time. The network not only needs to be "downloaded quickly", but also needs to be "transmitted stably and accurately", which is becoming an important foundation for supporting real-time interaction in the AI era.
