The projected video on a large-screen television features high definition and low delay.
With high bandwidth and low latency, the 5G network will guarantee wireless 4K/8K live video streaming thus elevating media to a new level, noted Xiang Huangmei, vice president of China Telecom in Beijing, who dialed the first 5G video call.
