China's 10 Gigabyte Service Rollout

Next-Generation Broadband Infrastructure

Service Status

Pilot commercial deployment is currently underway in select cities and counties across China.

Key Locations

Initial rollout includes Sunan County in Hebei Province, Xiong'an New Area, and major metropolitan hubs such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.

Leading Companies

China Unicom is spearheading the deployment in partnership with technology provider Huawei.

Understanding 10G Broadband

The "10G" designation refers to fixed-line broadband connections for homes and businesses offering speeds up to 10 Gigabits per second. This represents a tenfold increase over standard gigabit broadband services widely available today.

This service is distinct from mobile data technologies like 5G and focuses on delivering unprecedented speeds through fiber-optic infrastructure directly to premises.

Core Technology
50G-PON
Passive Optical Network
Download Speed
9.8 Gbps
Up to 9,834 Mbps
Upload Speed
1 Gbps
Up to 1,008 Mbps
Latency
3 ms
As low as 3 milliseconds

Potential Applications and Use Cases

This ultra-high-speed infrastructure is designed to support next-generation technologies and digital services:

Cloud Computing
Immersive Gaming
8K Video Streaming
Virtual Reality
Augmented Reality
Telemedicine
Remote Education
Industrial Automation

Real-World Performance Example

With 10G broadband service, downloading a full 20GB 4K movie takes under 20 seconds, compared to 7-10 minutes on a standard 1 Gbps connection.
