Myanmar uses Huawei technology and equipment to test 5G services for the first time

According to CCTV News, today, Myanmar telecommunications operator MYTEL officially announced the start of Myanmar's first 5G transmission test. The company's 5G transmission test uses entirely the technology and equipment of China's Huawei. In the current test, the download speed has exceeded 1.6Gbps and the upload speed has exceeded 100Mbps.

In the past, Myanmar's telecommunications industry was relatively backward. By 2011, the mobile phone ownership rate was less than 6%. However, after the implementation of the reform and opening-up policy in 2011, with the vigorous promotion of a number of Chinese telecommunications companies, Myanmar's telecommunications industry has made rapid progress in recent years. By 2017, the mobile phone ownership rate had exceeded 90%, and communication technology has also rapidly achieved leapfrog development.

At present, as 5G construction is being rolled out around the world, Huawei has also provided 5G-related equipment and technical support to multiple network operators, contributing to the popularization of 5G around the world.
