Huawei releases 5GtoB Suite solution to inject new impetus into the development of network services in the operator industry

[Shanghai, China, November 13, 2020] During the 2020 Global Mobile Broadband Forum, Yang Chaobin, President of Huawei's Wireless Network Product Line, released 5GtoB Suite, an operation and maintenance solution for operator industry networks.

As key new technologies supporting the digitalization, networking, and intelligent transformation of the social economy, new generation technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence are accelerating network deployment to empower the industry. Compared with traditional networks, thousands of industries have higher requirements for network construction and maintenance, which has brought new opportunities and challenges to operators. It is urgent to transform the network operation and maintenance thinking from the traditional "Best Effort" to a business SLA-centered approach. 5GtoB Suite brings intelligence and automation to all stages of "planning, construction, maintenance, and optimization" of toB networks, supports the realization of intelligent and precise planning of industry networks, extremely simple on-demand activation, and active end-to-end network operation and maintenance, and injects new impetus into the development of 5G wireless network services in the operator industry.

Intelligent and precise planning: seamlessly connecting with operators’ industry network construction SLA requirements

5G networks are oriented to different industries and need to meet the differentiated SLA requirements of multiple businesses. 5GtoB Suite can realize intelligent translation and seamless connection of network construction requirements of different industries. Through comprehensive analysis of massive data such as business traffic models, network scenarios, and industry terminal types, it uses artificial intelligence deep learning algorithms to realize link-level performance planning simulation, achieve automatic equipment planning and deployment, automatic allocation and evaluation of corresponding wireless resources. It realizes extremely simple planning and on-demand allocation of hourly wireless network resource slices, with a one-time planning accuracy of more than 95%.

Simplified on-demand provisioning: Adaptively set up differentiated networks to achieve simplified services

5G networks are oriented to different industries and need to meet differentiated network capabilities and high reliability requirements. 5GtoB Suite can realize the automatic setting of differentiated features and parameters. Through linkage with intelligent planning, it can complete the intelligent generation and automatic distribution of network configurations such as cells, features and network resources, shortening the network deployment cycle from days to hours. In scenarios such as frequent changes in production line services in the park, the adaptive configuration adjustment of cells and features can reduce the number of manual operations of engineers and realize automatic and flexible adjustment of 5GtoB networks in specific scenarios.

Active end-to-end network operation and maintenance: real-time monitoring of service SLA and prediction and prevention of end-to-end network failures

For different industries, 5G networks need to meet the requirements of industry users for "always online" terminals. 5GtoB Suite provides end-side and network-side SLA monitoring and prediction that industry customers can trust. Precision operation and maintenance with fast and accurate fault location and AI-based prevention and prediction key technologies as the core can respond to industry users' demands for "always online" terminals and short fault response time, helping to reduce the high costs of on-site maintenance.

Based on real-time reporting and analysis of network-side and device-side data, 5GtoB Suite provides multi-dimensional performance visualization at the industrial module level, slice level, and network level, fast fault location and demarcation within 5 minutes, and 3D visual restoration of the problem site and fault point. In addition, using AI technology, wireless network performance and link failure type faults can be prevented and predicted 15 days in advance. Industry users can perceive and handle faults in advance, proactively guarantee service SLA, and build a highly reliable 5GtoB network.

Huawei has accumulated a lot of innovations and practices in the field of eMBB network operation and maintenance for toC users to enhance network intelligence. In toB scenarios, based on the differentiation of service SLA requirements, 5GtoB Suite will play a greater role in enhancing network intelligence and automation capabilities, injecting new impetus into the development of network services in the operator industry.

At the 2020 Global Mobile Broadband Forum, Huawei joined hands with global operators, regulatory agencies, partners, media analysts and other ICT industry elites to share their thoughts on global industry trends and hot topics, and jointly discuss how to contribute to the progress of human society through continuous innovation of ICT technologies such as 5G and AI, promote industrial development and ecological construction, and achieve win-win cooperation.
