The Beijing Horticultural Expo is not just about pavilions and plants. 5G is being applied so visitors can have the first-hand experience of the cutting edge technology.

The 5G exhibition hall was built by China Telecom, one of the main operators in China. The tourists in this particular area are not here for selfies with rare plants, but totally fresh experiences.

“Thanks to 5G’s broader network connections, we’ve connected 5G with sensors installed in each facility. We’ve tested the whole system numerous times. This could be a miniature version of a future smart city when 5G is fully put into use,” said Li Lumin, staff at China Telecom’s Beijing Bureau.

The world is testing 5G for the Internet of Things. And many are counting the days until its commercial launch next year.
