(Yicai Global) May 22 -- The Shenzhen Metro has become the world's first municipal transit operator to test fifth-generation wireless technology on subway trains. 

The Shenzhen Metro completed an automatic data transmission test between vehicle-to-ground communication equipment and a halted train within 150 seconds, the southern Chinese operator said on its WeChat account. 

The metro aims to strengthen the deployment of 5G equipment, enabling bidirectional transmission of 50 gigabytes of data within 150 seconds.

The technology is easy to deploy as it requires small intelligent 5G terminals to be added to trains, stations and parking lots, featuring low costs, the statement added.
