Huawei announces over fifty 5G commercial contracts secured and over 200,000 5G base stations shipped
The 5th Huawei Asia-Pacific Innovation Daywas held in Chengdu, China. This year’s Innovation Day is themed “Innovation Enables Asia-Pacific Digitization”. More than 200 representatives from government, industry and academia of Asia-Pacific countries and regions got together to discuss innovative 5G technologies and applications, sustainable development, as well astechnology, humanity, and nature.
As a ubiquitous technology, 5Gis the cornerstone of a smart world in which everything is connected. Today, as we usher in the 5G era, we are also at a critical stage of digital transformation across industries worldwide. Industrial development has progressed from mechanization and electrification to automation and digitization. Speaking at the event, William Xu, Huawei Director of the Board, President of the Institute of Strategic Research said: “5G is arriving at the right time. More specifically, 5G can provide wide coverage, large bandwidth, and low latency on the basis of traditional connections. It can also provide slicing for different applications. This new feature makes it adaptable to a variety of complex industrial applications.With the advancement of 5G, there will be many 5G-enabled applications that will change the world. At the same time, 5G, AI, IoT and cloud areimproving everyday life and nature, making the world a better place.”
Huawei is helping carriers across AsiaPacific to deploy 5G faster
AsiaPacific is leading the world interms of 5G deployment. South Korea is the world’s first country that has realized large-scale commercial use of 5G. Since the rollout of 5G in early April, the number of 5G subscribers in this country exceeded 2million.South Korea has become the global benchmark for the commercial use of 5G. China has built a large-scale 5G network for pilot commercial use. The three major carriers have deployed 5G networks in cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Chengdu. The tested downlink rate is as high as 1 Gbps, which means it takes only seconds to download an HD movie in 1080P.
5G is becoming a reality.Around the world, 35 carriers in 20 countries have launched 5G and 33 other countries have distributed 5G spectrum.
Huawei has secured over fifty 5G commercial contracts worldwide and shipped over 200,000 Massive MIMO AAUs. With rich experience in 5G pilot commercial use and active exploration of 5G innovative applications, Huawei is committed to providing the safest and most advanced 5G products and solutions, as well as application scenarios. Huawei seeks to enable carriers in the Asia-Pacific region to deploy 5G fasterand fully leverage the advantages of 5G. The aim is to empower numerous industries, improve social efficiency and accelerate industrial digitization.
