The Lychee Live Streaming Festival in Guangzhou's Zengcheng District marked a significant milestone in the world of live streaming. Huawei, China Unicom Guangdong, and the Zengcheng Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau joined forces to showcase the power of 5.5G technology in promoting and selling local lychees through live streaming. This event not only highlighted the potential of 5.5G but also demonstrated the innovative capabilities of China Unicom Guangdong's 5G live streaming service plan.

The 5.5G network trial conducted during the festival recorded a remarkable maximum uplink speed exceeding 500Mbps, setting a new standard for live streaming in China's countryside. This trial showcased the immense potential of 5.5G to revolutionize the way live streamers engage with their audience and promote products in real-time.

China Unicom Guangdong's 5G live streaming service plan, powered by intelligent network elements and 5G slicing technologies, offers ultra-high uplink bandwidth, large network capacity, and high-definition videos. This innovative service ensures continuous, stable, and smooth user experiences, meeting the evolving demands of live streamers across various sectors.

The success of the 5G live streaming service was further validated at this year's MWC Barcelona, where it received the prestigious GSMA's Global Mobile Awards (GLOMO) for "Best Mobile Operator Service for Connected Consumers." This recognition underscores the industry's acknowledgment of the service's exceptional quality and impact on the live streaming landscape.

With the launch of 5.5G, users can expect a significant enhancement in their live streaming experience. The downlink peak speeds have increased from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps, while the uplink peak speeds have risen from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps, representing a 10-fold increase in bandwidth. This leap in technology enables users to stream higher-definition content in 3D and interactive formats, paving the way for a more immersive and engaging live streaming experience.

Moreover, 5.5G opens up new possibilities for consumer services, such as cloud phones, New Calling, and glasses-free 3D, ushering in a new era of connectivity and innovation. The dynamic adjustment of experience assurances for different live streaming users based on their specific needs further enhances the personalized nature of live streaming interactions.

Hou Yingzhen, president of Huawei's 5G Marketing & Solution Sales Department, emphasized the company's commitment to innovation and the deployment of 5.5G technology. Huawei's dedication to extending the benefits of 5G to a wider audience and supporting the commercial deployment of 5.5G underscores its role as a leader in driving the live streaming economy in China.

In conclusion, the 5.5G revolution is set to transform the live streaming landscape in China's countryside, offering unparalleled speed, quality, and innovation to live streamers and viewers alike. This technological advancement not only accelerates the digitalization of industries but also paves the way for quality growth in rural areas and the broader agriculture industry. The future of live streaming is here, powered by the groundbreaking capabilities of 5.5G technology.
