The "Super Uplink" solution was jointly released by China Telecom and Huawei during the Mobile World Congress. Through TDD / FDD collaboration, high-frequency / low-frequency complementarity, and time-domain / frequency-domain aggregation, the uplink bandwidth capability of 5G networks is further enhanced, while the delay is reduced, providing strong technical support for 5G industry applications. Through comprehensive verification in scenarios such as the mining plant, plant area, indoor and outdoor areas of the Conch cement plant, the “Super Uplink” can increase the uplink rate by 20 ~ 60% in the area close to the base station, and up to 300% in remote and weak coverage areas. Here comes a higher uplink experience rate and wider coverage. Leading network capabilities effectively ensure continuous safe operations, intelligent early warning and real-time monitoring in mobile scenarios, improve overall production efficiency, improve a safe and healthy production environment, and further promote the development of Conch's cement smart factories.


China Telecom Anhui has leading comprehensive information service capabilities. It has cooperated with Huawei to explore a number of new 5G technologies and new services. The two parties have joined forces to expand the country's first 5G demonstration airport, Huangshan 5G + VR panoramic live broadcast service, unmanned external field test and 5G. A series of innovative applications such as telemedicine.


As a global cement manufacturing leader and one of the nation's largest building materials enterprise groups, Conch Group actively adopts intelligent and information technology to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and has taken the lead to build the first domestic full-process cement manufacturing smart factory. Conch Group and China Telecom Anhui Company signed a strategic cooperation agreement and established a "Smart Manufacturing 5G Innovation Lab". The two parties joined Huawei in conducting 5G innovative application trials in Wuhu and Quanjiao Conch Cement Plants. The three "Fortune 500" companies have jointly opened the door to the future of 5G intelligent manufacturing on the ground in Anhui. The person in charge of the 5G project stated: "Since the signing of the strategic cooperation agreement, China Telecom and Huawei have been deeply involved in the construction of the Conch Smart Cement Factory. A number of achievements have been implemented. Based on the 5G network, it has been used in cement mining, transportation and cement production. Operational efficiency has been further improved; in particular, super uplink technology has been deployed to better guarantee the high requirements of wireless network bandwidth, delay, and coverage performance of key business of enterprises. "


Taking mining blasting warning application as an example, "Super Uplink" can realize the real-time transmission of 4K HD video of drones, combined with AI to ensure real-time video clarity and accurate identification, and enhance the coverage of blasting alert from the original 500 meters to 2 kilometers. There is a 2-hour manual inspection workload, which is reduced to half an hour. The production efficiency is greatly improved, and the safety of blasting is simultaneously improved. In scenes such as high-definition videos such as cracks in the wall of the cement warehouse combined with AI detection, 5G Super Uplink also played a practical role.


5G "Super Uplink" provides a higher uplink experience and meets the normal operation of Conch production security monitoring system in mobile scenarios and weak coverage scenarios. In the limestone pre-homogenization workshop, wiring is difficult due to equipment movement, the wired connection is severely worn, and wireless shielding is large. "Super Uplink" can provide real-time high-definition video monitoring for stacking and reclaiming equipment for reciprocating operations, shortening the working time of workers in high dust environments.


The real-time video surveillance, automatic driving, and remote driving control of large mining trucks and excavators have become the development direction, requiring high-performance 5G network transmission. However, in the limestone mining section, due to the complex terrain and landform of the mine, the scattered loading and transportation equipment operating sites, and the continuous change and adjustment of the working platform with mining, the wireless network planning and deployment are difficult, which increases the difficulty of continuous business coverage. Through "Super Uplink", it is possible to achieve effective continuous coverage and performance improvement of the roads and operation areas of the cement factory without additional 5G base stations, and ensure the high-definition video transmission and remote control requirements of various types of construction machinery.


"Super Uplink" has provided strong support for the construction of Conch's cement smart factory, and also opened a new chapter for the scale commercialization of 5G in the process industry. China Telecom Anhui will work with Huawei and industry partners to deepen cooperation in 5G network technology, industry applications and other fields, give full play to the advantages of 5G independent networking SA architecture, continue to provide high-quality 5G network services to customers in various industries, and help digital transformation in various industries upgrade.
