Beijing (Gasgoo)- China Unicom announced on December 9 that the company and Huawei recently co-established China's first 5G-A V2X innovation base in Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area. The initiative marks a significant milestone in the in-depth application of 5G-A technology for integrated vehicle-road-cloud systems.

The collaboration between China Unicom and Huawei focuses on advanced 5G-A features, AI-powered perception, and automotive-grade RedCap terminals. The project is driving innovations in intelligent driving and smart parking applications, particularly in beyond-line-of-sight scenarios.

The innovation base is equipped with six roadside sensing systems, six 5G-A pole stations, four multimodal fusion engines, and a unified sensing-communication base station. Key technologies such as multi-carrier aggregation, supplemental uplink, and deterministic low-latency transmission have been validated. Additionally, Huawei's multimodal fusion engine integrates seamlessly with China Unicom's intelligent vehicle-road collaboration platform, enabling real-time data fusion.

The base has established a robust 5G-A network across Beijing, leveraging China Unicom's commercial 3.5GHz and 2.1GHz frequency bands. It achieves sub-20 ms latency and uplink speeds exceeding 20 Mbps, laying a solid foundation for large-scale 5G V2X adoption.

In practical applications, 5G-A enables real-time data exchange and intelligent coordination between vehicles, roads, and the cloud. Verification scenarios, such as oncoming vehicle alerts and secondary collision avoidance, demonstrate sub-10 ms end-to-end latency, achieving comprehensive, real-time road perception.

The base also advances RedCap terminal ecosystem development, with tests conducted in cities like Foshan and Beijing. The integration of commercial RedCap terminals into vehicles is expected to enhance connectivity performance and accelerate 5G adoption in the automotive sector.

[Solid-State Battery Rumor Refuted: CATARC's Wang Fang Says No Compliance Determination Was Made on Solid-State Battery Enterprises] On September 4, 2026, Wang Fang, Chief Scientist at the China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC), clarified recent rumors at the "2026 World Power Battery Conference": CATARC has not conducted any determination on solid-state battery enterprises, and the related rumors are "false information." Recently, there were market reports claiming that CATARC, based on the national standard GB/T 43568-2026 "Solid-State Batteries for Electric Vehicles – Part 1: Terminology and Classification," which took effect in July this year, conducted determinations on more than 320 enterprises involved in solid-state batteries, with only 9 ultimately passing all compliance items in full.

[Solid-state battery: sulphide electrolyte production 70 mt, January-August]

[Solid-state battery: Sulphide electrolyte production 70 mt in January-August] From January to August 2026, China's cumulative sulphide electrolyte production reached 70 mt, up 119.7% YoY, already surpassing the full-year 2025 total (58.29 mt). However, this impressive growth masks three harsh realities: ① Only 19.6% of the annual forecast target (360 mt) has been achieved; ② The capacity utilization rate in August was just 5.82%, with capacity severely idling; ③ Product prices continued to plummet (LPSC fell over 24% in a single month). Q4 average monthly production will most likely land in the 11.5-13 mt range, with a full-year total of approximately 118-121 mt, representing a "solid climb." Annual forecast of 360 mt, with only 70 mt completed in the first eight months: the gap between the "mild ramp-up" of China's sulphide electrolyte and reality.
