Huawei to...

As an advocate for end-to-end 5.5G solutions, Huawei has been working with multiple players across the industry on R&D and verification of key 5.5G technologies. Significant progress has been made in this verification process, specifically for extremely large antenna array (ELAA), which underpins 10 gigabit downlink, flexible spectrum access, which helps realise gigabit uplink and passive IOT, which can enable 100 billion IOT connections.

50G PON is another key technology that can enable 10 gigabit speeds for F5.5G ultra-broadband networks and is expected to be extensively used in homes, campuses and productions in the future. Huawei has worked with over 30 operators around the world on technological verification and application pilots for these technologies.

In addition to the development of key technologies for 5.5G wireless and optical access networks, Chaobin announced that the company has been working on applying Ai-native technologies to 5.5G core networks to continuously enhance network capabilities and availability. This would allow AI capabilities to be delivered to the very ends of networks, so that they can better serve numerous industries. Net 5.5G promises 10 gigabit access, ultra-broadband transport and microsecond-level latency over AI networks, allowing it to serve as a next-generation network foundation for industrial digitalisation by providing highquality network access.

The industry is still in its earliest stages of developing a vision for 6G and only just beginning related research into key technologies. This is why many have turned to 5.5G as their milestone for future development. The tenfold improvement in network capabilities in the 5.5G Era is set to enable numerous industries to unleash the productivity of digital technology.
