Huawei wins “Outstanding Contribution for LTE Evolution to
5G” at MWC 2017
[Barcelona, Spain, February 28, 2017] Huawei received the ‘Outstanding Contribution
for LTE Evolution to 5G’ award at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017. This year
is the first year that GSMA has chosen to present the award for 5th generation
mobile networks (5G) and receiving such an honor helps to showcase Huawei’s
contribution to technology evolution.
“This
is the first year that GSMA sets an outstanding
contribution award for 5G. Huawei is honored to receive this award” said Mr. Xu Wenwei, Executive Director of the Board, Chief
Strategy Marketing Officer, “The next few years will
see continuous LTE development and 5G innovations.
So, we need to do the preparation in all aspects, including network deployment and industry collaboration. During the 4.5G to 5G, Huawei will keep focusing on helping our customers to improve user experience, to step into all cloud era, to enable innovative services for vertical industries, and finally to build 5G with more vitality and longer lifecycle.”
68 4.5G networks were commercially deployed worldwide in 2016 and
the number of networks deployed in 2017 is expected to reach 120.
Network evolution should begin with the
evolution of network architecture. In 2016, Huawei launched its CloudRAN
Solution, which is a technology that applies a cloudified architecture to the
Radio Access Network (RAN) and can create a 4.5G and 5G oriented architecture
integrating multiple radio access technologies (RATs), frequency bands, and
layers. And it is also a foundation for E2E network slicing, providing
operators with a way to realize the new business model of deploying diversified
new services in one network. As an
anchor for joining 4.5G and 5G, CloudRAN helps maximize network collaboration
efficiency and helps operators produce business success.
Huawei is still insisting on continued
investment in technical innovation in order to meet the challenge of the anticipated
accelerated increase of future MBB network traffic. Huawei and the world's
leading operators engage in large-scale 5G NR field tests and 5G high and low
frequency hybrid field tests. The results show that continuous coverage and
super ultra-large capacity can be satisfied simultaneously, and a single-user
peak of 25Gbps can be achieved.
In addition, Huawei and Deutsche Telekom have performed the millimeter-wave
high-frequency test procedure and achieved a peak rate of 70 Gbps – an industry
first. Huawei’s CloudAIR solution can promote the usage of the air interface
resource and realize quick deployment of 5G NR and thus solve the problem about
long-term coexistence with pre-existing RATs.
Meanwhile, by adopting 5G technology on 4G
networks well in advance, Huawei and operators have jointly taken the lead in
finishing the deployment of Massive MIMO in 4G live networks, providing good
user experience and huge promotion of network capability.
In order to
construct a new business model with industry, Huawei and vertical industry
partners jointly succeeded in the incubation of many NB-IoT commercial use
cases. Furthermore, Huawei announced X Labs in 2016, a new research platform
that will bring together operators, technology providers, and vertical industry
partners to jointly explore future use cases for mobile applications, and drive
innovation in business and technology.
Huawei’s “4.5G Evolution to 5G” solution, which provides
high-quality coverage, ultra-large
capacity and flexible network architecture, can help operators to keep ahead on
the road to 5G and help to make 5G a reality.
Mobile World Congress 2017 is being held in
Barcelona, Spain from February 27 to March 2 this year. The Huawei exhibition
area is in area 1J50 in Hall 1, area 3I30 in Hall 3, and the Innovative City
exhibition area in Hall 4 in Fira Gran Via. For more details, see:
