At the 2023 Global Mobile Broadband Forum (MBBF 2023), Cao Ming, President of Wireless Solution at Huawei, launched the industry’s first full-series solutions for 5.5G. At the ceremony, Cao mentioned that “5.5G is well timed to support new experiences, connections, and services”, highlighting that “Huawei’s full-series 5.5G solutions will help operators deliver full-scenario tenfold capabilities and enable ultra-high energy efficiency, spectrum utilization, and O&M efficiency.”
5.5G Arrives in Time to Upgrade Mobile Connections
5G has undergone commercial expansion for over four years, developing much faster than previous mobile technologies. Scaled 5G adoption creates new momentum for the growth of the digital economy. 5G is driving a large variety of new experiences, connections, and services. 5G has opened the door to an immersive world for individual and home users. It has extended IoT connections into all scenarios and has found its way to core production, empowering flexible production, all while accelerating vehicle-to-everything (V2X) services that drive smart transport.
5.5G has arrived just in time to upgrade the connections of people, homes, things, vehicles, and industries. Huawei’s full-series 5.5G solutions can help operators efficiently build 5.5G networks thanks to continuous innovations across five categories of basic capabilities: broadband, multi-band, multi-antenna, intelligent, and green.
Full-Series 5.5G Products Deliver Tenfold Capabilities
TDD multi-band multi-channel ELAA for 10 Gbps experiences. Extremely large antenna array (ELAA) has helped commercial 5G networks noticeably boost TDD coverage and energy efficiency. As telecom moves to 5.5G, ELAA is further upgraded. Based on the new ELAA, the industry’s first 128T MetaAAU that integrates over 500 antenna elements can work with multidimensional high-resolution beam algorithms to improve experience by 50%.
FDD full-series GigaGreen to upgrade basic experiences. The industry’s first FDD triple-band Massive MIMO and triple-band 8T modules support GHz-level bandwidth, enabling 1.8+2.1+2.6 GHz in one box, and can work with FDD beamforming to greatly improve FDD spectral and energy efficiencies
mmWave AAU with the largest antenna array for continuous 10 Gbps coverage. The mmWave industry has progressed to maturity. The industry’s first mmWave AAU embodies more than 2,000 antenna elements to overcome the limitations of mmWave on co-site co-coverage with C-band
Ongoing antenna and microwave innovation for efficient 5.5G construction. Microwave has a new platform MAGICSwave to upgrade transport networks. MAGICSwave supports ultra-wide multi-channel transmission to boost backhaul efficiency, with higher capacity for urban areas and longer transmission distance for suburban areas. It features a high level of integration, enabling networks to sustain evolution over the coming 10 years.
Huawei Unveils LampSite X to Unleash Indoor Digital Potential
At the Global Mobile Broadband Forum (MBBF) 2023, Yang Chaobin, Board Member and President of ICT Products & Solutions of Huawei, launched LampSite X, a next-generation 5G indoor digital product solution that aims to help operators open up new business space and move towards digital intelligence.
Yang remarked: “LampSite X brings unrivaled 5.5G capabilities indoors for the first time to comprehensively upgrade indoor digitalization: Featuring the leanest design, simplest deployment, and lowest energy consumption, the solution achieves 10 Gbps experience and offers diverse capabilities, meeting consumer demands for a more premium indoor experience and realizing more powerful digital productivity across various industries.”
LampSite X Sets a New Benchmark for Indoor Digitalization
LampSite X can meet various indoor digitalization requirements. This series of products can be as small as 1 L in volume and 1 kg in weight, which is the smallest and lightest in the industry, allowing flexible and easy deployment in any scenario. Despite its small size, a LampSite X box boasts big power. A single box supports all bands, all radio access technologies (RATs), and all wideband and allows networks to achieve ultra-high performance, ultra-diverse capabilities, and ultra-low energy usage. LampSite X is the only product in the industry that combines mmWave and sub-6 GHz to achieve a peak throughput of over 10 Gbps, as well as the first to bring 5.5G 10 Gbps indoors. The product employs Huawei’s unique Distributed Massive MIMO technology to achieve 10 Gbps single-user experience everywhere and provide 10 Gbps multi-user experience for everyone.
