Huawei participated in MWC Shanghai 2024 under the theme “Advancing the Intelligent World” and offering “Commercial 5G-A Experience Tours”.
During the conference, which was held between June 26 and 28, Huawei showcased its latest products and solutions that support the commercial deployment of advanced fifth generation technology, in addition to the artificial intelligence devices necessary to enter the era of artificial intelligence.
Huawei also announced that it has successfully reached six separate consensuses with pioneering 5G-A operators from around the world, and launched a joint initiative for high-quality mobile video development in the AI era alongside global operators, industry customers, and other relevant organizations. Over the next three days, Huawei is expected to meet with global operators and other industry players to discuss the development paths for F5G-A and Net5.5G.
In 2024, leading operators in the Middle East and China have started to deploy 5G-A networks, with some of them already launching differentiated experience-based 5G-A devices.
During the event, Huawei’s Executive Director of the Board and Chairman of the ICT Infrastructure Managing Board David Wang delivered a keynote speech titled “Accelerating 5G-A and Shaping the Mobile AI Era”.
During the keynote, he said, “This month marks the fifth year since 5G’s commercial launch in China. Over the past five years, commercial 5G has achieved remarkable success and made an unprecedented impact on the global mobile industry. Furthermore, 2024 marks the beginning of the mobile AI era thanks to the commercial launch of 5G-A and other AI devices. This era will transform not only human-machine interaction, but also content production and mobile devices, and will revitalize society and create opportunities for the mobile industry”.
He also added, “At Huawei, we will continue to accelerate 5G-A development from both the ‘Networks for AI’ and the ‘AI for Networks’ perspectives to create new business value since the company looks forward to working with all industry stakeholders to seize the enormous opportunities presented by the mobile AI era to shape the intelligent world”.
Furthermore “The number of global 5G users has exceeded 1.8 billion, and many operators have already seen the first wave of benefits from 5G, and consumer services such as the new type of smart interactive calls, high-definition video features, as well as cloud phones and 3D technologies without glasses, which need high network requirements such as high speed and low latency. In terms of industrial services, the RedCap ecosystem has developed, and passive IoT is now available to an even broader market, adding to the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) applications which requires higher uplink speeds. Soon, we will see a second wave of commercial benefits as we witness 100 billion connections driven by services in all scenarios and industry upgrade driven by new business models”.
It is worth noting that leading operators from around the world are seeking to benefit from advanced fifth generation technology. More than 30 operators have already completed technical verification procedures, and a number of operators in the Middle East and China have begun deploying advanced 5G networks on a spectrum targeting download speeds of up to 5 Gbps.
