The 5G network covers Shanghai's entire urban area and major suburban areas.

Apart from constructing outdoor stations, Shanghai Telecom has innovatively transformed telephone booths into 5G stations, and fixed 5G equipment onto height limit masts of expressways. Now over 13,000 outdoor 5G stations and 20,000 indoor small cells are available for Shanghai Telecom users.
