During MWC Barcelona 2024, Huawei successfully hosted the All Bands to 5G Summit, where industry leaders, ecosystem partners, and carriers from around the world took to the stage to share 5G industry upgrade and network construction practices. and discussed high-quality 5G construction and network construction. 5.5G evolution path.
Dan Wenxuan, Huawei’s chief strategic architect, said at the summit: “Six major trends are emerging in the global ICT industry: MBB networks are being monetized in multiple ways, new mobile communication services are booming, new smart terminals are proliferating, and 10 Gigabit FBB networks combine with MBB networks to accelerate service innovation, AI-based models accelerate intelligent O&M, and digitalization in emerging markets drives the rapid development of carriers’ public cloud services These trends will require mobile network upgrades that increase both uplink rates and spectral efficiency by a factor of 10 and enhance network coverage by 10 dB. All bands in the MBB network will evolve to 5G and 5.5 We need to move towards G.”
At the summit, industry partners such as GSMA Intelligence (GSMAi), GSA and Ookla noted that 5G will boost business revenues and move the industry towards 5.5G. As devices, services, and networks develop, the demands on network construction also increase. First, the bands supported by carrier aggregation (CA) terminals are increasing, and the types of RedCap terminals are becoming more diverse. These devices require enhanced network capabilities to provide a better user experience. Second, thriving services such as cloud gaming, New Calling, and live streaming require multidimensional capabilities such as large-scale uplinks, low latency, and deep coverage. Third, high energy consumption has become a common challenge in the industry, making it important to improve the energy efficiency of networks.
Leading carriers from around the world shared their success stories in building 5G networks and highlighted three secrets to success. The first is to accelerate the evolution of all sub-3 GHz bands to 5G and unify the spectrum to deliver a superior 5.5G experience. Second, it leverages cutting-edge multi-antenna Massive MIMO and 8T8R technology to deliver a better multidimensional experience in all scenarios, including larger uplinks, deeper coverage, and lower latency. Third, leveraging innovative ultra-wideband technologies to implement multi-band converged deployments and maximize network energy efficiency.
At the summit, Huawei announced a complete series of FDD Giga Green wireless solutions for 5.5G. These solutions use industry-leading gigaband beamforming and “0 bits, 0 watts” technology to enable carriers to build networks with the highest performance, efficiency and energy efficiency. The tri-band FDD Massive MIMO solution is the narrowest, smallest, and lightest of its kind in the industry. This will give carriers 10x more capacity, 10dB coverage, and 10x better user experience, simplifying deployment and enabling superior 5.5G performance. Additionally, Huawei’s proprietary tri-band FDD 8T8R module outperforms the 4T4R module by delivering 3x higher spectral efficiency, 7 dB better coverage, and 30% lower energy consumption. FDD GigaGreen Radio efficiently drives the evolution to full-band 5G and brings 5.5G to any scenario. This will enable carriers to offer multidimensional experiences such as large-scale uplinks, low latency, and deep and wide coverage. These are essential to sustain service growth and build a simple, green network that provides ubiquitous coverage and a premium experience.
MWC Barcelona 2024 will be held in Barcelona, Spain from February 26th to February 29th. During the event, Huawei will be showcasing its latest products and solutions on stand 1 hour 50 minutes in Fira Gran Via Hall 1. Toward the commercial launch of 5.5G in 2024, Huawei is collaborating with carriers and partners around the world to pursue exciting new innovations in networks and cloud. , and intelligence. Together, we will advance his 5G business, foster a thriving industry ecosystem, and build a new era of intelligent digital transformation.
