During MWC 2024, Huawei was fully committed to 5.5G, discussing how this technology can “unleash network potential and create new growth opportunities.”
“5G is on the right path to business success,” said Li Peng, Huawei’s Corporate Senior Vice President and President of ICT Sales & Services. It has gained 1.5 billion users worldwide.” It took him nine years for 4G to achieve this. Currently, 20% of the world’s mobile phone subscribers are using 5G. These users generate his 30% of the total mobile traffic and contribute his 40% of the mobile service revenue. 5.5G will start commercial use in 2024. And as 5.5G, AI, and cloud converge, carriers can unlock the potential for new applications and capabilities. ”
New features of 5.5G such as deterministic latency, precise positioning, and passive IoT are expected to create more opportunities for carriers in the B2B market. Huawei has already helped carriers launch 5.5G commercial verification and testing in more than 20 cities around the world, helping build a ubiquitous network that can lead to an “intelligent world” faster. He said he is aiming for that.
AI everywhere
As expected, AI was a big focus of Huawei’s presentation. Huawei Cloud announces 10 AI-oriented innovations, including KooVerse, distributed QingTian architecture, AI computing, AI native storage, E2E security, GaussDB, data AI convergence, and media, making it the “best infrastructure for AI applications” ” has demonstrated potential suitability. Infrastructure, landing zones, and flexible deployment.
The company also explained how AI-powered content is driving a new surge in data traffic. Looking to the future, Huawei predicts that by 2026 alone, “AI will be used to create more than 250 billion images and 70 million videos, completely redefining the world’s approach to content creation.” There is. To put this in context, the company claims that AIGC powers the creation of more than 100 billion gigabytes of data and drives more than 1 trillion gigabytes of data traffic, a significant portion of which will be borne by 5.5G. says there is a need.
“We are rapidly approaching an intelligent world,” Peng said. “As demand for networks increases, 5.5G has become an important step on the road to an intelligent world. 5.5G is expected to be commercially available in 2024. , build today’s networks for tomorrow’s applications.”
