KUALA LUMPUR: Huawei will continue to innovate and help operators evolve all bands to 5G for maximised spectral efficiency as they strive to deliver more high-definition (HD) and immersive digital experiences to consumers, and accelerate the digital transformation of various industries at the All Bands to 5G Summit held during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
In his keynote speech, Huawei Wireless Product Line vice president Fang Xiang said ubiquitous 5G coverage and new high-value 5G services, such as HD live broadcasting, Voice over New Radio (VoNR), eXtended Reality (XR), and cloud gaming, drive all bands to 5G.
“Huawei continues to innovate ultra-wideband, multi-antenna, green, and simplified solutions. This helps operators maximise spectral efficiency to build high-quality 5G networks that feature optimal performance, minimal energy consumption, premium experiences, and high adaptability,” he said.
According to Huawei in a statement, the company has been continuously innovating ultra-wideband and multi-antenna technologies, and launched a full range of new product portfolios.
Ultra-wideband 4T4R RRU features the industry’s lowest power consumption. It uses true wideband power amplifiers, real-time dynamic power sharing, and unique PIMC algorithm to enable simplified deployment of three bands.
Compared with the industry average, 4T4R RRUs are 30 per cent smaller in size and weight, 30 per cent better in performance, and 30 per cent lower in energy consumption.
Guests from GSMA Intelligence, Coleago, and Ookla pointed out that as 5G services like New Video, VoNR, and New Internet of Things (IoT) are developing rapidly, all bands must be evolved to 5G.
This will make multi-band deployment, multi-Radio Access Technology (RAT) coexistence, limited antenna space, and high network energy consumption common challenges in the industry.
Network evaluation criteria need to be extended from just downlink speed to coverage, latency, and uplink experience, to ensure service experiences for UHD video, cloud gaming, 5GtoB, and 5G IoT. – BERNAMA
