Press Release: During MWC Barcelona 2024, Huawei successfully held the All Bands to 5G Summit, which featured industry leaders, ecosystem partners, and carriers from around the world, and brought together 5G industry upgrades and network construction. We shared practices and discussed high-quality solutions. 5G construction and his 5.5G evolution path.
Dan Wenxuan, Huawei’s chief strategic architect, said at the summit: 10 Gigabit FBB network combines with his MBB network to accelerate service innovation, AI-based model accelerates intelligent O&M, and digitalization of emerging markets promotes rapid development of carriers’ public cloud services doing. These trends 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 must evolve to 5G and move towards 5.5G. ”
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, demands on network construction will 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, leverage innovative ultra-wideband technology 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 all-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.
