Mountaineers climbing Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain, may now benefit from 5G technology as Chinese information and communications technology Huawei, along with China Mobile, have jointly set up the world’s highest base station on the world’s highest mountain.

Launching the gigabit optical fibre network at the high altitude has enabled the dual-gigabit network on Mount Everest in the Himalayas, between Nepal and Tibet.

The groundbreaking establishment on Mount Everest once again proves that 5G technology connects mankind and the Earth harmoniously, according to a Huawei release.
