Together, they have promoted 5.5G technology verification and network deployment, expanding the nascent 5.5G market.
Huawei has already helped operators start 5.5G commercial verification and testing in more than 20 cities around the world. The Middle East has formed a general consensus on 5.5G development, with all six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) having completed 5.5G 10 Gbps rate verification and incubation of new services such as RedCap and passive IoT.
The three major operators in China's mainland have all started 5.5G network deployment in major cities, to explore services for connected people, things, vehicles, industries, and homes. In Hong Kong, operators have also completed 5.5G 10 Gbps rate testing and verification in the C-band and mmWave and started to provision 5.5G FWA services.
In Europe, Finnish operators have concluded 5.5G technology verification on commercial networks, achieving a peak rate of greater than 10 Gbps, and verified the passive IoT technology. In Germany, operators operating on the 6 GHz band have also achieved a peak rate of 12 Gbps using multi-carrier techniques.
Huawei will also launch the industry's first telecom foundation model at MWC. This foundation model will offer role-based and scenario-based intelligent applications to support industry demand for agile service provisioning, accurate user experience assurance, and efficiency O&M across domains. It will also help operators empower employees and improve user satisfaction to comprehensively boost network productivity.
5.5G is expected to see commercial launch in 2024, and Huawei has reaffirmed its commitment to working with operators around the world to explore the evolution to 5.5G.
