The China Mobile GigaMIMO AAU, a groundbreaking 5G-Advanced (5G-A) antenna jointly developed with ZTE, is showcased at the China Mobile booth during MWC 2026. This ''ultra-massive'' antenna array leverages deep AI integration to manage spatial resources, achieving a 10x capacity increase over standard 5G. It is demonstrated as a critical foundation for 6G evolution, supporting high-demand applications like the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), immersive extended reality (XR), and embodied intelligence by delivering multi-gigabit speeds and ultra-low latency during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain, on March 4, 2026.
