Yimin Open-Pit Mine 伊敏露天矿

In September, Yimin Open-Pit Mine completed China's first validation of 5G-A gigabit uplink capabilities in an open-pit mining setting.

Integrated applications continue to expand. China has now built more than 26,000 private industrial 5G networks and 1,260 5G factories, and the industrial internet covers all 41 major industrial categories. At this new energy vehicle factory in Hefei, Anhui, industrial 5G covers stamping, welding and final assembly. Smart production lines operate at high speed, turning out a complete vehicle every minute. At the Yimin open-pit mine in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, driverless electric mining trucks are working at an accelerated pace. In September 2026, the mine completed China's first validation of a 5G-A gigabit uplink in an open-pit mining setting. Under the direction of the dispatch center, nearly 100 mining trucks perform automatic loading and unloading, obstacle avoidance and battery swapping, operating efficiently 24 hours a day.
