Huawei launches 5.5G solutions at MWC

Huawei Technologies Co has launched a string of cutting-edge solutions at the ongoing Mobile World Congress 2023 in Barcelona, Spain, in its latest push to innovate in the era of 5.5G, an evolution of 5G technology.

At the event, Huawei also unveiled a full series of One 5G solutions capable of driving all bands to 5G.

Cao Ming, President of Huawei's wireless product line, said: "The rapid development of 5G will stimulate the evolution of all bands to 5G. To help operators maximize the value of each band and continuously improve network capabilities in multiple dimensions, Huawei's One 5G solutions not only deliver industry-leading performance, but also feature simplified deployment as well as unrivaled energy efficiency and evolution ability."

By the end of 2022, 5G had already proven to be a global commercial success, with over a billion mobile users connecting with 5G. Leading operators in China, South Korea, Switzerland, Finland, and Kuwait have already achieved 5G user penetration rates of more than 30 percent with more than 30 percent of their traffic coming from 5G according to data compiled by Huawei.

The network intelligence and connectivity insights provider Ookla's latest 5G City Benchmark Report showed Huawei has played an important role in 5G network construction in all of the top 10 cities among the world's 40 most 5G-enabled cities. Performance results in these 10 cities show the 5G networks constructed by Huawei offer the best experience.

Following Huawei's concept of "Striding Towards the 5.5G Era" proposed in July 2022, Huawei has laid out five major characteristics of the 5.5G era: 10 Gbps experiences, full-scenario interconnection, integrated sensing and communication, level 4 autonomous driving networks and green information and communications technology.
