Compared with previous years, a major trend of MWC 2024 is reflected in the decrease in the proportion of traditional mobile phone manufacturers, and even the mobile phone manufacturers who plan to participate in the exhibition are focusing more on core technologies outside of products, such as 5G-A, WiFi 7, AI applications, communication technology and other industry hotspots. From the perspective of the industry, MWC's return to the core agenda of "Mobile World Communications" will undoubtedly play a positive role in promoting the innovation and development of mobile communication technology. At MWC 2024, Qualcomm, a major U.S. chip manufacturer, will showcase a series of its foundational technologies for wireless connectivity. For example, the world's first prototype system of ultra-large-scale MIMO antennas for operation in the 13GHz band will help the wireless communications industry explore new spectrum in the mid- and high-frequency bands to prepare for the 6G era. Qualcomm will also showcase the new capabilities that come with mmWave deployments, as well as Qualcomm's prototype system for AI-assisted mmWave beam management, which now supports airspace beams** and more. MediaTek, another major chip manufacturer, will showcase its latest progress and achievements in Pre-6G non-terrestrial network (NTN) satellite broadband, 6G environmental computing, IoT 5G RedCap solutions, 5G CPE physical machine functions, and Dimensity AU networking 5G state cooperation achievements. One of the most talked-about is its new generation of 5G-Advanced NR-NTN satellite test chips. In addition, MediaTek will also exhibit the world's first pre-6G satellite broadband simulated by low-orbit satellites to further improve the application scenarios of satellite communication. It is worth noting that MediaTek will also display the flagship 5G generative AI mobile chip based on the Dimensity 9300, which uses the chip architecture to achieve localized AI** generation. At the MWC warm-up event, Ericsson, a communications equipment manufacturer, also showcased 12 hardware and software products and solutions represented by the flagship Air 3255 and Antenna 4206, which are designed to enhance Ericsson's wireless, transmission and antenna product portfolio and help operators build high-performance, sustainable and open networks. Major domestic manufacturers are making efforts to 5G-AIn the field of communications, Chinese enterprises are undoubtedly an important force that cannot be ignored. According to the information released by the GSMA, there are more than 300 Chinese companies participating in the conference, Huawei is still the largest exhibitor of MWC, and China Telecom will participate for the first time.
