5G service
For those attending or competing in the Games, an immersive 5G experience will start the moment they step into a competition area.
There are about 2,000 base stations in total, including both 4G and 5G, which will provide stable internet coverage across all major venues during the Games, said Cai Kai, general manager of the Network Optimization Center at China Unicom Beijing Branch.
5G will be used to achieve rapid temperature measurement, facial recognition and registration with just one scan. With Alpine skiing widely known to be one of the world's most dangerous sports, 5G is also being used to monitor the health of athletes remotely, relaying critical information to health and medical officials monitoring each event.
Additionally, 5G smart solutions can be found in self-driving shuttle buses, photo booths in each media zone, and the instant uploading of videos and virtual reality content.
