5G-A IoT MWC shanghai 24

In the dynamic world of mobile communication, each generational leap—from 2G to 3G, and then to 4G—has been transformative, enabling new applications, enhancing user experiences, and driving economic growth. As we now stand on the brink of the next evolution, 5G-Advanced (5G-A), it’s time to delve into how Huawei has been at the forefront of this journey. Let’s explore the history of Huawei’s advancements towards 5G-A, the innovative solutions and use cases it brings, and why MWC Shanghai 2024 is a must-attend event for anyone interested about the future of IoT and AI with 5G-A.

Huawei History Towards 5G-Advanced

For over 30 years, Huawei has been a cornerstone in the development of mobile communication technologies. Each generation, from 2G to 3G, and subsequently to 4G, has undergone continuous evolution and enhancement. At the Global Mobile Broadband Forum in 2020, Huawei unveiled the 5.5G industry vision, which marked a shift from supporting universal connectivity to enabling intelligent interconnections. In 2021, the 3GPP officially named the evolution of 5G as 5G-Advanced (5G-A), solidifying a new industry consensus.

By October 2022, Huawei, along with its industry partners, identified four key characteristics of 5G-A: 10Gbps downlink, 1Gbps uplink, hundred billion connections, and intrinsic intelligence. These features were designed to meet diverse business needs, from immersive applications such as XR and holography, to industry digitalization requiring tenfold uplink speeds and lower latency.

In 2023, Huawei collaborated with over 30 global operators and partners to actively test and validate key 5G-A technologies. Compared to its predecessor 5G, which began commercial use in 2019, 5G-A promises exciting improvements: a tenfold increase in bandwidth speed, a tenfold reduction in latency, a tenfold enhancement in connection density, and positioning accuracy now reaching centimeter levels. These advancements are set to address new demands across various scenarios such as person-to-person, home-to-home, object-to-object, industry-to-industry, and vehicle-to-vehicle connections.

Innovative Solutions and Use Cases

3D Experiences

In the realm of display technology and AI-generated content (AIGC), glasses-free 3D technology is heralding a new era of immersive experiences. The XR industry is on the verge of surpassing the inflection point of ecosystem development, with mainstream VR devices now supporting 8K experiences. This will lead to a rapid proliferation of applications and enhanced video and gaming experiences.

Home businesses are evolving, offering higher-quality smart homes, instant cloud gaming, and deeply immersive large-screen 3D experiences. For instance, during the Hangzhou Asian Games in 2023, Zhejiang Mobile deployed a 10Gbps network, achieving unprecedented speeds and enabling immersive 3D intelligent viewing experiences.

Key advancements include:

  • Immersive interactive experiences
  • High-definition smart home broadband
  • Comprehensive connectivity across all scenarios
  • Highly reliable smart transportation
  • Core production processes

RedCap and Passive IoT

RedCap is nearing large-scale commercial use, creating high-value connections in industries such as power and manufacturing, thus accelerating industrial digital transformation. The passive IoT industry is also advancing, enabling full-process visibility of production materials and significantly improving resource management.

Smart Vehicles

As smart vehicles and the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) industry continue to evolve, it is estimated that by 2030, 50% of vehicles worldwide will be connected. 5G-A’s outstanding network performance will meet user travel needs in various scenarios, enhancing traffic efficiency and reducing accident rates.

Industry 5G Private Networks

Industry digitalization demands flexible production to increase capacity. The low latency, high uplink, and high reliability capabilities of 5G-A enable fully connected factories, enhancing production line efficiency, quality inspection, and reducing labor costs.

Huawei Mission with 5G-Advanced

Huawei mission with 5G-A encompasses:

  • Connecting People
  • Connecting Homes
  • Connecting Devices
  • Connecting Vehicles
  • Connecting Industries

Real-World Applications

HKT’s 5G-A Network

In Hong Kong, HKT is exploring 5G-A to upgrade network experiences in high-density areas like Causeway Bay. This includes providing immersive AR shopping and navigation experiences. For instance, the Victoria Harbour fireworks show in 2023 showcased 5G-A’s ultra-low latency capabilities, enabling real-time drone footage for live TV broadcasting.

Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Zain leverages Huawei’s FWA solutions to expand home broadband coverage, providing universal download speeds of 100Mbps. The emergence of new demands from XR, gaming, and IoT services has led to Huawei’s FWA2 solution, which promises enhanced speeds and reliable high-speed experiences.

UAE’s Smart Home Initiatives

Huawei and UAE’s telecom operator du are building the “5G-A Smart Home,” showcasing smart home living supported by a gigabit network. This initiative aims to deliver high-speed broadband access for homes, meeting the immersive experience demands of multiple users.
