China Mobile rolls out digital and intelligent support for the ninth CIIE

According to China Mobile Communications Group Co., Ltd, the ninth China International Import Expo opens at the National Exhibition and Convention Centre (Shanghai). While debut launches from across the globe unfold inside the venue, a continuous city‑wide communications assurance programme runs in parallel.

China Mobile Shanghai deploys a dual‑layer, seven‑redundancy network framework to maintain stable connectivity within the exhibition complex. Backup arrangements are built into computer rooms and transmission routes, allowing traffic to shift to alternative links when faults emerge. The operator has also optimised coverage across transport hubs and rolled out targeted improvements for international roaming, lifting the capacity and user experience of local 5G networks for visitors arriving in the city.

The assurance programme delivers upgrades to network capacity, operational platforms and on‑site applications. A refreshed 5G‑A super‑uplink network serves the venue, following adjustments to time‑slot configuration on the 4.9GHz band to deliver near‑complete coverage. Working under the venue operator’s co‑ordination, China Mobile Shanghai has installed full‑venue Wi‑Fi 7. Visitors may authenticate via mobile number or QR code, with seamless handover between zones to support large‑file transfers and cloud‑based collaborative work.

An upgraded 3D digital twin command platform for the whole exhibition centre operates from emergency communications vehicles. Using parametric drawing extraction and lightweight web‑based 3D rendering, the system maps every network device on the three‑dimensional venue model, forming a visible, spatially aware control hub for the large‑scale site. A 5G NR video broadcast service, which enables one‑source transmission for mass audiences, and wide‑area passive internet‑of‑things applications powered by ambient AIoT, are available throughout the venue for the duration of the expo.

A dedicated 5G mobile medical emergency platform and fitted 5G ambulances remain stationed on site, supported by a private 5G emergency network. Vital sign data captured inside each vehicle transmits intact to emergency department displays at designated hospitals once a patient is aboard.

China Mobile Shanghai has supported the Shanghai Administration for Market Regulation and its law‑enforcement detachment to build a 5G‑enabled digital mobile enforcement workspace. A frontline command hub running on 5G‑A connects portable enforcement terminals, supporting high‑precision indoor positioning, live attendance tracking, real‑time data exchange and instant video relay for field teams.

Service arrangements cover international roaming, short‑term mobile packages and internet access for overseas attendees. Staff across retail outlets receive specialist training for foreign visitors. Dedicated service counters with bilingual signage and multilingual staff operate at airport terminals, outlets near the venue and major hotels, offering priority, fast‑track handling for exhibitors, procurement representatives, overseas media and on‑site personnel.

China Mobile continues to expand digital services across Shanghai, bringing AI‑powered applications to a wider range of industries.
