Everest has 3G coverage since 2011 and 4G coverage since 2013, which helped climbers to share vital information and videos to the base camp. Placing 5G antennas on Everest and using stable 5G connection was hard. Looking after the harsh weather conditions, the improper supply of electricity and difficult geographical conditions it was like a daydream to many people.

On Everest, a total of five 5G NSA and SA antennas were installed which can deliver speed up to 1 Gbps at different points. Yes, you heard it right you can surf up to 1 Gbps on Everest which can bring significant changes on information’s exchange between climbers and the rest of the world. After the successful placement of 5G antennas on 5,300 meters and 5,800 meters they are now going for 6,500 meters which will begin on April 25, 2020. Summing up, China has taken the biggest leap in 5G service. Phew, that was a piece of hot news from the Everest.
