Original title: "Spider-Man" sweats profusely, just to get full signal (theme)
Changsha Mobile 5G construction workers insist on working at high altitudes in high temperatures to bring users a high-quality network experience (subtitle)
Changsha Evening News Omnimedia Reporter Chen Xingyuan Intern Zhang Qianyi
During the dog days of summer, the temperature in Changsha remained high, and outdoor work was extremely hot. However, a group of "Spider-Man" from Changsha Mobile climbed on the communication tower under the scorching sun to ensure smooth 5G signals.
Recently, the reporter followed the Changsha Mobile 5G construction personnel to an old office building in Tianxin District. "The outdoor temperature is 38 degrees Celsius, the wind force is level 4, and the wind is blowing from the southwest..." At 9 o'clock in the morning, Xia Zhuo, the team leader of the Central District Construction Team of Changsha Mobile Engineering Construction Center, held a safety assessment form and gave a safety briefing for the upcoming high-altitude operations. After emphasizing key information such as wind direction and load-bearing inspection, the construction workers formed a circle and checked their helmets, work clothes and other equipment one by one. After confirming that everything was correct, they began the intense and orderly high-altitude operations under the scorching sun. The task of the day was to install 5G communication equipment on the base station.
Fearless of high temperatures, we strive to build a 5G network in cities
As the office building has no elevator, the reporter was sweating profusely when he followed the installation workers to the rooftop, and the workers were carrying large and small equipment and tool kits. "The equipment now is much lighter than before. In the past, an antenna alone weighed 70 to 80 kilograms. We have to thank technology for reducing our burden!" a worker said with a smile.

Under the sun, the surface temperature of the communication tower soared to 70℃, which was a great test for the construction workers and equipment. After standing on the rooftop for only a dozen minutes, their clothes were completely soaked with sweat, but they had no time to rest and packed their work equipment and prepared to go up the tower.
How hard is it to work at height? The reporter saw at the scene that the construction workers need to climb to the iron tower with a height of 50 to 60 meters to install and debug the equipment. "Working at height itself is high-risk, and coupled with the influence of high temperature, it is a great test for the construction workers both mentally and physically." Xia Zhuo said with emotion.
The construction workers strictly followed the regulations for high-altitude work, first fixed the safety rope, and then climbed up step by step. Hooking, grabbing poles, climbing towers... each agile figure is like "Spider-Man", flexibly moving under the scorching sun. "It's bearable for a short time, but after a long time, my hands will be hot, but I can't let go." Xia Zhuo said that when working in the sun, the iron rod is even hotter, and the construction workers can only try their best to endure it and focus on installing the equipment so that they can return to the ground to rest as soon as possible.
An hour later, the "Spider-Man" on the tower returned to the ground under Xia Zhuo's command, and everyone's clothes looked like they had been soaked in water.
There are ways to prevent heatstroke and effectively deal with hot weather
As a "veteran" on the front line of 5G construction, Xia Zhuo said that he is not only responsible for the scheduling and management of 5G construction in Tianxin District and Kaifu District, but also serves as a full-time safety officer to ensure the safety and quality of each project.
He told reporters that in order to ensure safety, Changsha Mobile has implemented a strict adjustment system, adjusting the working hours to 6 am to 10 am and after 3 pm to avoid the hottest period. In addition, the construction workers' protective measures are also very comprehensive: they are equipped with anti-electric shock helmets, light and breathable protective clothing, protective gloves, insulated shoes, and heatstroke prevention and cooling items that they carry at all times.
After the installation and commissioning work was completed, Xia Zhuo used professional testing software to test the network speed many times. "The current download speed and maximum upload speed fully meet the various needs of 5G users for the network!"
The reporter learned from Changsha Mobile that the base station built on that day was just one of the 534 5G sites built by the company from June to August. These base stations are like a large network, sending high-speed and stable 5G signals to all parts of Changsha, bringing citizens a more convenient and efficient communication experience.
