The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, as the world’s longest cross-sea bridge, is expected to have 5G service in the future, according to Fang Zheng, vice general manager of the WLAN office of ZTE Corp., the bridge’s network operator.

　　据港珠澳大桥网络运营方中兴通讯无线局域网办公室副总经理方正介绍，作为世界上最长的跨海大桥，港珠澳大桥未来有望开通5G网络服务。

　　The 55-km Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge that opened last month connects the mainland province of Guangdong with the country’s two special administrative regions, Hong Kong and Macao.

　　长达55公里的港珠澳大桥于上月开通，它将中国内地的广东省与中国两个特别行政区——香港和澳门——连接起来。

　　"The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge now has good coverage of 4G service," said Fang. "Experts and workers have overcome the difficulties of a complex construction environment and the lack of an optical fiber to provide tailored 4G solutions for the bridge and prepare for the future upgrading of 5G service."

　　方说:“港珠澳大桥已经覆盖了4G网络。”“专家和工人们克服了复杂的施工环境和光纤缺乏的困难，为大桥提供量身定制的4G解决方案，并为未来5G服务的升级做准备。”

　　Experts and workers extended the coverage area of the optical fiber to 20 kilometers, double the conventional maximum onshore coverage of 10 kilometers, to ensure the full coverage of network signal along the bridge, according to the constructors.

　　据施工人员介绍，专家和工作人员将光纤的覆盖范围扩大到20公里，是传统陆上最大覆盖范围10公里的两倍，以确保大桥沿线网络信号的完全覆盖。

　　"The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge can be seen as a unique application of wireless technology, highlighting the high-quality products and advanced technology provided by China’s communication sector," said Fang.

　　“港珠澳大桥可以看作是无线技术的独特应用，突出了中国通信行业提供的高质量产品和先进技术，”方说。

　　The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is now ready for the access of Internet of Things, a major business to be achieved by 5G technology. From the very beginning, the technological base needed for 5G has been considered in terms of network architecture, room for 5G station and the installment of fiber, according to Fang.

　　目前，港珠澳大桥已经可以接入物联网，这是5G技术将要实现的一项重要业务。方说，从一开始，5G的技术基础就从网络结构、5G站的空间和光纤的安装等方面进行了考虑。
