China set to launch what it bills as 'the world's first 5G railway station' this year with the technology from Huawei.
The news comes as the tech firm is blocked and scrutinised by the West over fears that it is spying on its users for Beijing.
A 'super-fast' 5G network will be fitted to the existing Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station, which is one of Asia's busiest traffic hubs and handles some 60 million passengers a year.
so-called '5G digital indoor system' is due to be fully installed in the train station in western Shanghai by September.
A few 'experience spots' have already been set up in the station's waiting hall to let passengers try the network.
The system is developed by Huawei and was unveiled in Shanghai today. It has been chosen to serve the traffic hub by China Mobile, a state-owned telecommunication corporation.
