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.

2017
“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 Cloud RAN 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, Cloud RAN 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.
