Quick Technology news on June 27th, according to media reports, the 5G network in the sea area of the Shandong-Liaoning route has been fully operational since the 26th.

This milestone progress not only allows passengers on this route to enjoy mobile internet access during their voyage, but also marks China's first achievement in achieving large-scale continuous 5G network coverage at sea.

The Shandong-Liaoning sea route, represented by routes from Yantai to Dalian, Yantai to Lushun, and Longkou to Lushun, has a voyage distance of over 150 kilometers. It is an important waterway connecting the Shandong Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, known as the "golden waterway" for passenger and freight transport.

In the past, due to the vast sea area and issues such as discontinuity and unstable signals in traditional communication networks, the communication experience on ships has been unsatisfactory. Therefore, the maritime department and mobile communication operators have worked closely together to jointly develop innovations. By optimizing the deployment and networking of 5G base stations and developing efficient network access equipment for ships, they have successfully expanded the communication coverage and improved the stability of network signals.

Currently, the 5G network in the Shandong-Liaoning route sea area covers over 20,000 square kilometers. This change has not only greatly improved passengers' shipping experience, allowing them to enjoy network services anytime and anywhere, but also provided more convenience for shipping companies. Through various means such as video, shipping companies can grasp the status of ships in real-time and ensure safe navigation.

In specific applications, the operation of the 5G network has made many services on board more convenient. Passengers can easily complete operations such as upgrading their tickets or buying additional tickets during the voyage, and even make payments at the snack bar or restaurant without being limited by signals.

In addition, passengers can also make smooth phone calls, watch videos, and have video calls with their families on board, enjoying a communication experience similar to that on land.
