SHANGHAI,March 11,2021 -- TVU Networks,a market and technology leader in cloud and IP-based live video solutions,and China Unicom,the world's fourth largest mobile service provider,are collaborating to expand the UHD media applications possible with 5G networks. TVU Networks is advancingsolutions that support China Unicom's 5G millimeter-wave (mmWave) technology for communications services.

As part of the partnership,TVU Networks is focused on the development of technology for collection,transmission,distribution,and management of 4K and 8K ultra-high-definition video using 5G networks. Advantages to the 5G mmWave band include increased bandwidth,reduced latency and flexible configuration,which enable the capacity and transmission of future mobile application scenarios such as 4K,8K and immersive AR/VR. The radio frequency utilized for 5G mmWave is far less congested than the frequency spectrum used by most TV and radio signals,which increases the bandwidth available.

China Unicom's 5G mmWave technology will be deployed over 5G networks during the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing,where the Chinese telecommunications operator will be the exclusive mobile service provider.
