More advanced network capabilities can bring diverse mobile applications, making it possible to provide a
differentiated user experience that is key to multi-dimensional 5G-A monetization, Chinese tech giant, Huawei Technologies has said.
Speaking at the GSMA hosted the 5G-A Industry Roundtable during MWC Shanghai 2024, President of Huawei’s 5G
Industry partners mentioned that 5G business growth is speeding up and the time has come for 5G-A deployment.
Specifically, the large-scale deployment of the 3CC technology helps achieve 5 Gbps network speed, which is perfect for immersive experiences of games, sports events, as well as audio and video entertainment.
Moreover, the entire 5G-A industry chain is mature, with U6G, mmWave, and other new spectrum resources being distributed to some operators for verification.
More than 30 types of terminals in the globe support 5G-A, and over 60 operators have commercially released 5G-A. Consequently, the entire industry chain needs to work together to build more efficient, intelligent, and reliable networks and applications to seize the opportunities brought by AI.
At the roundtable, Huawei officially announced the evolution direction of industry technologies from 5G to 5G-A, that is, moving towards greener mobile networks that feature more connections and a more deterministic experience through long-term innovation of the 3D extremely large antenna array (ELAA) technology, differentiated experiences, full-time all-scenario green solutions, and AI-empowered networks.
“AI is rapidly reaching to PCs, mobile phones, wearables, and vehicle-mounted systems, bringing about massive, connected objects, rich content, and varied user traffic models. This poses higher requirements on network capabilities while creating opportunities for new services, superior network quality, and enhanced O&M. To embrace new opportunities in the era, Huawei calls for industry-wide collaboration to promote shared success in the 5G-A industry,” Huawei said in a statement.
The year 2024 will see the commercial launch of 5.5G, while F5.5G, marked by gigabit optical networks, is already underway.
