Shenzhen Toplink Technology Co.,Ltd.

At the 2023 MWC Shanghai Exhibition 5G Advanced Forum, it was announced that a full set of 5.5G network devices for commercial use will be launched in 2024. This also signifies that the ICT industry is about to enter the 5.5G era.

After four years of rapid development, 5G construction has achieved fruitful results. At present, there are over 260 5G commercial networks worldwide, with over 1.2 billion 5G users and 115 million F5G gigabit users. At the same time, new business forms and content are constantly evolving and upgrading, including breakthroughs in technologies such as naked eye 3D, which have taken personal immersive experiences to new heights. These new businesses also put higher demands on the capabilities of 5G networks. As a necessary path for the upgrading and evolution of 5G networks, the arrival of the 5.5G network era has formed a consensus in the industry.

The 5.5G era advocated by Huawei is an end-to-end solution that includes comprehensive evolution and upgrading of 5.5G, F5.5G, Net5.5G, etc. On the one hand, the 5.5G era can protect operators' 5G investment; On the other hand, it will bring a 10 times improvement in network performance. This not only achieves the peak capacity of down gigabit and up gigabit to meet diverse business needs, but also introduces new technologies such as passive IoT to open up new space for billions of IoT and create an innovative industrial vision.

The technology and commercial verification for the 5.5G era are ready, with clear standards and a clear pace. The 5.5G era is poised to take off. In 2024, Huawei will launch a complete set of 5.5G network equipment for commercial use, preparing for the commercial deployment of 5.5G! Huawei looks forward to working with the industry to jointly embark on a new journey in the 5.5G era.

As an industry advocate for end-to-end 5.5G solutions, Huawei collaborates with the entire industry to actively explore the research, development, and validation of key 5.5G technology capabilities. Significant verification progress has been made in key wireless 5.5G technologies, including ultra large scale antenna array technology for achieving 10 Gigabit downlink, flexible spectrum access technology for achieving gigabit uplink capability, and passive IoT technology for enabling 100 billion IoT. As a key technology representative in the F5.5G ultra wideband network era and enabling 10 Gigabit experience, 50G PON will be widely used in the future in homes, parks, and production fields. Huawei has completed technical verification and application pilot projects with more than 30 operators worldwide. In addition to the key technological development of 5.5G in the fields of wireless and optical access, the 5.5G core network continuously enhances and opens its capabilities through intelligent native technology, delivering AI capabilities to the connecting end through the network, thus enabling the network to better serve a wide range of industries. Net5.5G provides the key capabilities of 10 Gigabit access, ultra wide bearer, and microsecond delay of AI network, builds a new generation of industrial digital network base, meets the requirements of high-quality network access of all industries, and helps Digital transformation.

At present, 6G is still in the early stage of vision demand formation and key technology research. 5.5G is the only way for 5G network to upgrade and evolve in the next step. It has formed a consensus in the industry and is a deterministic industry development trend. The tenfold increase in network capacity brought about by the 5.5G era can unleash even more powerful digital productivity in various industries.
