The event saw a peak of 140,000 visitors on its opening day. As one of the largest self-built foreign pavilions at the expo, the China Pavilion faced intense operational demands. Hytera’s dedicated public network group communication system provided efficient and precise support for staff coordination. Its customized solution delivered zero-fault performance during the critical opening phase, showcasing true “Chinese kung fu” in safeguarding the success of the expo.

As the exclusive communication technology provider for the China Pavilion, Shenzhen-based walkie-talkie maker Hytera Communications Corp., through its Japanese distributor General Trading Japan Co., supplied PNC380 public network walkie-talkies and the HyTalk public network cluster system. This solution supports individual calls, group calls, GPS positioning, and encrypted communication, fully ensuring the operation of the 3,500-square-meter China Pavilion.  

Since entering the Japanese market in 2010, Hytera has become the only Chinese radio brand to obtain Japan's explosion-proof certification.  

"While visitors immerse themselves in the digital presentation of China's millennia-old civilization, the invisible communication network supporting this visual spectacle is built by Hytera," Lin Guoxin, Hytera's East Asia regional sales manager, said during an interview.

Through a series of diverse activities — including technical dialogues, scenario co-creation, and ecosystem sharing — Hytera will invite global partners and industry clients to jointly explore the frontiers of communication technology and showcase the Chinese wisdom behind Chinese communication solutions.
