Time is of the essence. Huawei advocates accelerating the move towards an intelligent world.

[Barcelona, ​​Spain, February 26, 2023] During the 2023 MWC Barcelona, ​​Li Peng, President of Huawei's Carrier BG, delivered a keynote speech at the Huawei Day0 Forum. He said that 5G prosperity is the cornerstone of the intelligent world, and 5.5G is a key milestone towards the intelligent world. He also called on the telecommunications industry to build on the GUIDE business blueprint and accelerate towards an ultra-broadband, green, and intelligent future world .

Li Peng, President of Huawei's Carrier BG, delivered a keynote speech

Li Peng believes that from the physical world to the digital world, and from the digital world to the intelligent world, every person, every family, and every organization is the real protagonist and trendsetter. People's unremitting pursuit of high-quality experience and high-efficiency output is the driving force for progress and development, and operators and partners play an important role as boosters .

5G prosperity is the cornerstone of the intelligent world, and the connection + model is in the ascendant

Li Peng said that in the three years since 5G was put into commercial use, more than 230 5G commercial networks have been deployed worldwide, the number of 5G users has exceeded 1 billion , and the richness of 5G terminals has exceeded expectations. Diversified innovations in the consumer field are emerging in an endless stream . Operators are making "connection +" even longer, and 5G has driven the vigorous development of the ICT industry. In the 5G era, leading operators in Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East are actively promoting the construction of a digital business ecosystem based on the continuous improvement of network capabilities, opening up the full digital consumption scenarios of "connection + social, music, TV, personal cloud, and digital content publishing" and becoming a one-stop digital experience service provider .

With the continuous improvement of 5G and optical fiber utilization, home scenarios have become the best foothold for operators to operate value. Operators are making "connection +" wider to create better experience and more efficient operation and maintenance. The deployment of high-quality home broadband represented by 5G FWA and 10GPON has far exceeded the expectations of operators, and has achieved excellent results of 30 % -60 % increase in ARPU in typical markets such as Europe and the Middle East .

At the same time, Li Peng pointed out that the industry digitalization wave driven by GPT technologies such as 5G , AI , and cloud computing has brought new strategic opportunities to operators. Government and enterprise customers need more offering combinations, and operators are making "connection +" more "thick". Taking Chinese operators as an example, they have deepened the promotion of "connection +, integrating cloud, AI, security, and platform " to expand new space. In 2022 , the industry's digital revenue will increase by more than 20 % .

Operators continue to improve network capabilities and the degree of openness of network capabilities to provide a guaranteed experience for third-party applications and services. Operators are making "connection +" more "open". Huawei has officially joined the CAMARA project team led by GSMA to help operators upgrade their networks to business enablement platforms and monetize enhanced user experiences .

Accelerating towards an ultra-wide, green and intelligent future world

Li Peng said that in the future, the intelligent world will be deeply integrated with the physical world. Whether it is personal entertainment life, corporate office, or industrial production, it will enter a new era of intelligent interconnection. This means that the demand for networks will break through from ubiquitous gigabit to ubiquitous 10G, from connection to perception, and from focusing on energy consumption to focusing on energy efficiency .

The evolution of 5G to 5.5G is a key milestone that carries the above breakthroughs and accelerates the move toward an intelligent world .

5. In the 5G era, Huawei is willing to work together with the entire industry to achieve a 10G experience through breakthroughs in wireless, optical, and IP technologies ; to extend connectivity to perception through the exploration of scenarios such as vehicle-road collaboration and environmental monitoring; and to build a unified energy efficiency indicator system and collaborate with the industry on green development plans .

Taking green development as an example, in 2022, ITU - T has released the network carbon emission intensity index NCIe as a formal standard . Leading operators in China and Europe have actively verified the innovation of multi-dimensional energy efficiency indicators in existing networks, bringing energy efficiency improvements ranging from 20 % to 50 %.

"Time waits for no one, and action will soon arrive." Finally, Li Peng called on the whole industry to work together, based on the GUIDE business blueprint, to accelerate the prosperity of 5G and work together towards an ultra-broadband, green and intelligent future world .

The 2023 Mobile World Congress will be held in Barcelona, ​​Spain from February 27 to March 2. Huawei's exhibition area is located in the 1H50 booth of Hall 1 of Fira Gran Via. Huawei, together with global operators, industry elites, opinion leaders, etc., will discuss in depth hot topics such as 5G business success, 5.5G new opportunities, green development, digital transformation, etc., and use the GUIDE business blueprint to move from the prosperous 5G era to the more prosperous 5.5G era.
