Recently, the 2024 Mobile World Congress (MWC24) opened in Barcelona, Spain. Since 1995, Mobile World Congress has been successfully held for many times and is the world's most influential exhibition in the field of mobile communications. The theme of this year's conference is "Future First", focusing on six major contents, including "Beyond 5G, Intelligent Connectivity, AI Humanization, Digital Intelligent Manufacturing, Subverting Rules, and Digital Genes", attracting global technology companies and more than 100,000 participants from more than 200 countries and regions.
In order to strengthen the exchanges and contacts between the upstream and downstream enterprises of the global MVNO industry chain at home and abroad, build a working and discussion platform for Chinese and foreign MVNO businesses, promote domestic MVNO enterprises to develop new era operation ideas, and respond to the new situation, new development and new business formats of the mobile resale industry in 2024, Communication World organized relevant representatives of China's MVNO industry chain to participate in this conference and visit and exchange with well-known enterprises in the global ICT industry.
During the exhibition, the Chinese MVNO delegation visited the booths of Huawei, ZTE, Nokia and Ericsson in turn, and conducted in-depth exchanges on current hot topics while visiting and learning the content of the exhibition.
Huawei's main exhibition hall at this conference is designed with the design concept of "Digital Intelligence World, Intelligent Connection of All Things", and displays a full range of 55G product solutions, including 5G-A, F5G-A, Net55G, etc. The participants listened carefully to the introduction of the person in charge of the booth, and during the exhibition, Huawei released the first large-scale model in the communications industry. In response to the industry's high-level intelligent goals of agile service provisioning, accurate user experience assurance, and efficient cross-domain O&M, the large model provides role-based and scenario-based intelligent applications to help operators empower employees, improve user satisfaction, and fully unleash network productivity.
ZTE brought a number of blockbuster new digital intelligence products to the conference. At the ZTE booth, delegates experienced the world's first 5G+AI-driven glasses-free 3D tablet, which can be freely converted between 2D and 3D in real time with one click. At the same time, the person in charge of the company also comprehensively introduced the autonomous network solution integrating AI large model and digital twin technology and the new paradigm of smart factory construction of "industrial field network + digital nebula".
In the Nokia booth, the staff highlighted Nokia's GenAI solution for industrial interaction - MX Workmate, which uses generative AI (GenAI) and large language module (LLM) technology to generate human-like content based on real-time OT data, helping workers understand complex machines and obtain real-time production information for greater flexibility, productivity, sustainability and safety.
Ericsson provided an immersive experience for the delegates, showing the live broadcast of mobile terminals supported by network slicing technology in the exhibition area. At the same time, the person in charge also introduced the latest pre-research progress of 6G.
On the afternoon of February 28, the Chinese MVNO delegation attended the MVNO Summit. At the conference, representatives from relevant companies from all over the world shared their innovative business models and views on the future development of the industry, bringing a new perspective to explore the future of business. According to the agency**, the mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) market will reach nearly $140 billion by 2030; Meanwhile, the market is growing at a strong rate, with a CAGR of nearly 8% expected from 2023 to 2030.
Through this first collective participation, the Chinese MVNO delegation has a comprehensive understanding of Mobile World Congress. In particular, 5G and AI are still the focus of global discussion. In the past few years, the new generation of information technology, represented by 5G, has been widely used. Now, 5G-A construction is on the agenda, and many companies have launched their own solutions. Generative AI has also grown in popularity, with industry-wide enthusiasm and adoption of generative AI on the rise, with a number of giants forming the AI-RAN Alliance, which aims to improve mobile network efficiency, reduce power consumption, and transform existing infrastructure, laying the foundation for telcos to unlock new business opportunities with AI powered by 5G and 6G.
Over the years, the communication world has been committed to promoting the continuous development of the domestic MVNO industry, organizing various activities to contribute to the development of enterprises and industries. In the future, the communication world will continue to contribute to the high-quality development of China's MVNO industry.
