China Unicom and Huawei Launch Largest 5G-A 100 MHz GigaUplink Network

China Unicom Beijing and Huawei launched the world's largest 5G-A GigaUplink commercial network. It achieves continuous coverage of the 100 MHz network in key areas across Beijing, with over 10,000 base stations deployed.

During a live drive test, seven invited third-party media representatives served as "Experience Officers" to witness the network's coverage and service experience. The results demonstrated a 100 MHz uplink effective ratio of 83% and a mere 0.1% proportion of cell-edge weak points (< 20 Mbps). These results indicate that China Unicom's premium network in Beijing has evolved from citywide 5G-A deployment to a new development stage of region-wide GigaUplink capabilities.

During the live drive test, China Unicom Beijing utilized 3.5 GHz + 2.1 GHz coordinated networking to support the evaluation of large uplink network metrics and AI device service experiences. Along the 34-kilometer test route, the network recorded a 100 MHz uplink effective ratio of 83%, a peak uplink rate of 1 Gbps, an average uplink rate of 397 Mbps, and a 72% proportion of ultimate uplink experience (> 300 Mbps).

The proportion of cell-edge weak points (< 20 Mbps) was only 0.1%. This performance fully supported seamless experiences in vehicle-mounted mobile scenarios, including millisecond-level transmission and seamless interaction for AI glasses, smooth communication between AI phones and Agents, and real-time cloud transmission for AI analysis and content generation by smart cameras (shoot-and-upload).
