A live 4K ultra high definition (UHD) broadcast on top of Lianhua Hill in Futian District was delivered by Guangdong Satellite TV on Sunday, the Shenzhen Economic Daily reported yesterday.

Guangdong Satellite TV completed the live broadcast using 5G, broadcasting its program called “Feiyue Guangdong” in Shenzhen, which demonstrated the city’s latest developments and the momentum in building a pilot demonstration area of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

China Mobile’s Shenzhen branch provided technical support for the live broadcast. The good coverage of 5G networks in the area also helped realize the live 4K UHD broadcast with high speed, high capacity and low latency.

It was reported that it only took the telecomm carrier four hours to prepare for the live broadcast in Shenzhen, as no additional 5G base stations on Lianhua Hill were needed.

So far, China Mobile’s Shenzhen branch has deployed 5G base stations in the city to ensure 5G coverage on most of the main roads in Shenzhen’s CBDs, and launched 5G services in some key areas, such as the Nanshan High-tech Park, the university town and the greater port area.
