China Rolls out World’s First 10 G Ultra-fast Broadband Network

22 Apr 2025 CW Team

China marked a major leap in internet infrastructure with the launch of its first 10G broadband network in Sunan County, Hebei Province. This achievement is the result of a collaboration between Huawei and China Unicom and is designed to offer download speeds of up to 9,834 Mbps, upload speeds of 1,008 Mbps, and latency as low as 3 milliseconds.

The network is powered by 50 G Passive Optical Network (PON) technology, which significantly enhances data transmission capabilities over existing fiber-optic infrastructure. This high-bandwidth technology supports advanced applications such as cloud computing, virtual and augmented reality, 8K video streaming, and smart home integration.

To illustrate its impact, a full-length 4 K movie of approximately 20 GB, which typically takes 7–10 minutes to download on a 1 Gbps connection, can now be downloaded in under 20 seconds using the new 10G network.

With this launch, China has positioned itself at the forefront of global broadband technology, outpacing the commercial broadband speeds currently available in countries like the UAE and Qatar. The deployment of 10 G broadband is anticipated to drive progress across multiple sectors—including healthcare, education, and agriculture—by providing faster and more dependable data transmission.

Huawei, founded in 1987 and headquartered in Shenzhen, is a global leader in telecommunications equipment and network solutions. The company has played a pivotal role in the evolution of optical broadband and 5G technologies.
