China Mobile Aims to Provide Nationwide 5G Coverage by End of 2022

What’s new: China Mobile Ltd., one of the country’s three major state-owned mobile carriers, vowed to deploy 5G networks covering all rural regions at the township level by the end of 2022.

At the China Mobile Global Partner Conference Tuesday, General Manager Dong Xin said China Mobile has built more than 560,000 5G base stations across the country, the largest total in the world. It has 360 million 5G monthly package subscribers, more than the combined users of the two other state-owned carriers.
