China-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City, a joint project between the two countries, will add 10 5G base stations to the existing two by 2020 to expand its 5G network.
The base stations will enable the eco-city, located in northern China's Tianjin Municipality, to use 5G technology to transmit high-definition pictures and videos to improve city management.
The 5G network will also power the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in environmental monitoring, geographical mapping and law enforcement.
The eco-city, inaugurated in 2008, is designed to strengthen environmental protection, conserve resources and build a harmonious society.
Besides the eco-city, there are currently two such cooperation initiatives between China and Singapore, namely the Suzhou Industrial Park in eastern China's Jiangsu province and an intergovernmental project in south-west China's Chongqing Municipality.
