China Mobile and Huawei have jointly deployed what they claim is the world’s highest 5G base station on the summit of Mount Everest, at the altitude of 6500 meters.
Together with the launch of the Gigabit optical fibre network at the attitude of 6,500 meters, Huawei enables China Mobile to run its dual Gigabit network on Mount Everest.
Huawei has offered its end-to-end solutions in the construction of China Mobile’s Everest dual Gigabit network, where base stations were built in Mount Everest Base Camp at the attitude of 5,300 meters, the Transition Camp at 5,800 meters, and the Forward Camp at 6,500 meters. Huawei’s 5G AAU and SPN technologies are applied at these base stations, where network maintenance and optimization are done by a dozen of network specialists who station 24/7 in regions at altitudes of 5,300 meters and above to ensure smooth network operations.
Huawei said its 5G AAU is highly integrated in a compact size, making it easy for deployment and installation. It fits particularly well for infrastructure in extreme environment such as Mount Everest. Huawei's 5G AAU supports both the Standalone (SA) and Non-Stand Alone (NSA) mode and can connect to five 5G base stations.
