WHY USE 5G

The Chinese government granted commercial 5G telecom licenses to the three carriers in June. They plan to deploy a total of 130,000 5G base stations across in China by the end of the year. 

The high-speed 5G networks can theoretically transmit data 20 times faster than current 4G speed, with less than 1/10 of the latency.
