Pudong International Airport has launched a 5G "experience center" in Terminal 2 offering a futuristic glimpse of such applications based on the super-fast network that will soon cover the whole airport. The center was jointly developed by the nation’s telecoms giants China Unicom and China Telecom. It covers 60 square meters in the ticket hall of T2. Passengers experience several applications, such as virtual reality videos and an artificial intelligence robot through Sunday, the Shanghai Airport Authority said on Tuesday. The 5G network is able to provide a peak single-user download speed of 1.6 gigabytes per second, nearly 16 times faster than 4G. The low latency — the gap between sending a command and it being implemented — of the 5G network is especially helpful for the Internet of Things.
