The world’s highest 5G base station at an altitude of 6500 metres, alongside the launch of the Gigabit optical fibre network, sees Huawei enable China Mobile to run its dual Gigabit network on the planet’s highest mountain.
It comes on the 60th anniversary of the first successful ascent of Mount Everest from the northern slope and the 45th anniversary of China's first official accurate measurement of Mount Everest. Significantly, the 5G network on Mount Everest will provide communication services for the 2020 Mount Everest re-measurement.
Huawei has offered its end-to-end solutions in the construction of China Mobile’s Everest dual Gigabit network, where base stations were built at Mount Everest Base Camp at an attitude of 5,300 metres, the Transition Camp at 5,800 metres, and the Forward Camp at 6,500 metres. Huawei’s 5G AAU and SPN technologies are applied to these base stations, where network maintenance and optimization is done by a dozen network specialists who are stationed 24/7 at altitudes of 5,300m and above, to ensure smooth network operations.
Huawei’s 5G AAU is highly integrated and compact in size, making it easy for deployment and installation. It’s particularly ideal for extreme environments such as Mount Everest. In this project, a network in the "stand alone plus non-stand alone" (SA+NSA) mode connects five 5G base stations. Meanwhile, the 5G fast and huge-capacity connectivity is achieved by Huawei’s Massive MIMO technology, supporting lightning speed and large bandwidth.
Huawei’s Massive MIMO is highly reliable and provides excellent coverage. With its highly flexible three-dimensional narrow beams, the technology works particularly well vertically on Mount Everest. At an altitude of 5,300 metres, the 5G download speed exceeds 1.66 Gbps, with an upload speed topping 215 Mbps.
Meanwhile, high quality and reliable networks are guaranteed by Huawei’s Intelligent OptiX Network solutions, with data-thirsty transfer of high-res videos, VR live broadcasts, supported by enterprise gateways with 1Gbps upstream/downstream connections.
The Everest base camp at 5,300 metres is fully covered at a speed of 1.43Gbps, thanks to the Gigabit ONT. Huawei’s 10G PON OLT and 200G ultra-high-speed transmission platform can intelligently manage data throughput, making it possible even for families and businesses to enjoy super-fast internet access at such high altitudes.
With its HoloSens intelligent video surveillance system, Huawei ensures streaming quality allowing optimisation and fault locating with just one click. This keeps the network stable at 6,500 metres, providing connectivity at the summit.
