MWC 2024 is being held in Barcelona, and Huawei, a leader in the communications industry, is unveiling a series of new products. As the world's leading ICT solution provider, Huawei has also made many achievements in innovation and practice.
On February 27, Gao Zhiguo, President of Huawei's Cloud Core Network Product Line, released the world's first 5The "New Call" of the 5G intelligent core network solution officially announces that we have entered a new era of multimodal communication, which is of great significance to the business reconstruction of operators.
It is reported that this one is called "New Call" 5The 5G solution has been deployed in 31 provinces in China last year, supporting 50 million users, and has passed multiple verifications in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and other places, and is scheduled to be officially commercialized in 2024.
In addition, Huawei has also introduced the MCF voice-driven digital human component into new calls. This means that users can render thousands of digital faces in real time while on a call using just voice input, which was previously unimaginable.
China Mobile also announced at MWC2024 that this year will be the first year of commercial use of 5G-A in more than 300 cities. By the end of 2026, they plan to achieve commercial coverage of 5G-A across the entire network. As an evolutionary version of 5G technology, 5G-A is known as 5A key component of 5G.
Speaking of 55G, in fact, as early as 2020, has been frequently mentioned by Huawei executives.
Initially, three Huawei executives talked about 55G means that this is the evolution path of 5G technology and needs to be backward compatible with all 5G devices.
Later, two more Huawei executives elaborated on 55G continues to innovate in six aspects, including spectrum reconstruction, uplink enhancement, and all-scenario networking, which will promote the large-scale development of XR.
On this basis, Huawei further proposed to "move towards 55G era". Tong Wen, chief scientist of 5G, said that 55G is the only way to 6G.
However, judging by the situation in 2020-2022, 55G is more like a concept, and there is still a long way to go for real commercial use.
In 2023, Huawei will be in 5Substantial breakthroughs in 5G technology have made this technology more tangible and tangible.
First of all, when announcing its participation in MWC 2023, Huawei proposed to "Towards a prosperous 55G Era" and said 55G is a key node for realizing an intelligent world.
Secondly, Meng Wanzhou revealed that Huawei will continue to support 5The construction of 5G digital infrastructure, the industrial chain and commercial environment are fully prepared.
Furthermore, at the Mobile World Congress in Shanghai, Huawei officially announced that it will launch an end-to-end 55G commercial product solutions.
Finally, Huawei related sources revealed that the real sense of 55G handsets are scheduled to be available in the first half of 2024.
More importantly, Huawei in 5Breakthroughs have also been made in 5G technology. In October 2022, Huawei officially announced that it had fully completed the 5G-A technical performance test under the guidance of the IMT-2020 (5G) Promotion Group.
The test results show that Huawei has made significant progress in 5G-A uplink and downlink ultra-wideband technology, and for the first time, it has applied end-to-end cross-layer collaboration technology to 5G-A broadband real-time interaction, achieving a qualitative leap in capacity and latency.
To sum up, judging from Huawei's latest trends, they are in 55G is leading the way.
It is worth mentioning that Huawei released the world's first 5After the 5G intelligent core network solution, it has attracted widespread attention from the scientific and technological community. But many users say they don't understand, 5What exactly is the difference between 5G and 5G ratio?
Judging by the nomenclature, 55G sits between 5G and 6G and is a transitional technology. It has two main functions: one is to make up for the shortcomings of 5G;The second is to explore the path for 6G.
The reason why it does not jump directly from 5G to 6G is because the technology is developing faster than the iteration cycle of mobile communication technology in the decade generation.
According to the regulations of the International Standards Organization 3GPP, there are six standard versions of R15-R20 from 5G to 6G, of which R15-R17 is the first stage of 5G and R18-R20 is the second stage of 5G. In April 2021, 3GPP officially defined R18 as 5The first standard version of 5G.
In other words, we are at the halfway point between 5G and 6G. 5.5G as a connection point, essentially an enhanced version of 5G, is expected to last for about 5 years.
Since it is a strengthened version of 5G, 55G is superior to 5G in many ways.
Compared to 5G, 55G surpasses in terms of speed, latency, connection scale, and energy consumption, and the network capability is increased by 10 times.
The peak rate** has been increased from 1Gbps to 10Gbps in 5G, and the upload rate has been increased from 100Mbps to 1Gbps, which can better meet the needs of diversified services.
At the same time, trillion-level connections will be realized, supporting millisecond-level latency and centimeter-level positioning accuracy, etc., which can be summarized in three words: downlink 10 Gigabit, uplink Gigabit, and 100 billion connections.
In the middle of last year, China Mobile established the first 5G-A test base station in Changping District, Beijing, achieving 10 Gigabit downlink and Gigabit uplink.
55G vs. 5G comparison chart, 5On the basis of 5G's EMBB, MMTC, and ULLC, 5G adds three new capabilities: uplink ultra-wideband UCBC, broadband real-time interactive RTBC, and communication sensing fusion HCS.
This makes 5.5G has new features that can support applications such as 3D** and XR interaction, bringing a more immersive virtual reality experience. For example, last year's Asian Games used 55G technology to achieve the naked-eye 3D** effect of the event.
Theoretically, 55G does have a broad application prospect. XR services such as AR VR have higher requirements for networks, and differentiated service experiences are also required in fields such as industrial Internet, energy Internet, and healthcare.
5.With its tenfold network capabilities and multi-dimensional new functions, 5G will accelerate the intelligent upgrade of people, homes, things, industries, and vehicles.
It can be said that 55G can not only maintain the momentum of the 5G industry, but also facilitate the digital transformation of various industries by improving network agility and intelligence, paving the way for 6G. It plays a key role in connecting the dots.
Of course, users are more concerned about 5What positive changes can 5G bring to life, such as the extent to which the network speed will increase?
Huawei executive Wang Tao has said that 5The 5G user experience can reach 10Gbps.
The theoretical value is still a theory after all, and the actual effect may be discounted. For example, the theoretical peak of 5G is 1Gbps, but now the actual peak is about 500Mbps.
However, if then 5The measured rate of 5G can reach half or one-third of 10Gbps, and the experience improvement will also be huge.
In short, 5The future of 5G is coming. Let's wait and see how much it can change and what it will bring to life.
