altitude 6500 meters - On the afternoon of April 30, 2020, the world's highest 
G base station was put into use; plus the base stations previously built at an altitude of 5300 meters and 5800 meters, the G signal has achieved coverage of the hiking route and peaks on the north slope of Mount Everest .
This report by Xinhua News Agency records the journey of 5G signals to the top of the world. This is also a microcosm of China's key projects, national key weapons, and breakthroughs and innovations in the past decade.
