Beijing has unveiled its first 5.5G experimental base station, situated in Changping District, according to an announcement by China Mobile's Beijing branch on Wednesday.

Acting as an intermediary phase between the established 5G and the upcoming 6G, the new 5.5G standard (also known as 5G-A) boasts better performance than traditional 5G in terms of speed, delay, connection scale, and energy consumption. The upgraded 5.5G network can reach peak downlink speeds of 10 gigabits per second and uplink speeds of 1 gigabit per second. Additionally, it maintains a latency of just a few milliseconds and supports many devices at a reduced cost. 

Thanks to its faster speed and reduced latency, 5.5G can be leveraged across a broader range of applications. Its low latency, for example, will provide users with immersive experiences when using augmented and virtual reality devices. In the manufacturing industry, 5.5G will aid companies in achieving intelligent manufacturing production through faster uplink transmission rates.
