Telecoms giant, Huawei has launched a series of 5G products and solutions to promote multi-antenna technology to all bands and all scenarios to build leading 5G networks.
The launch also accompanied awards won by Huawei for 5G Telemedicine Solution, winning the GSMA GLOMO ‘Best Innovation for COVID-19 Pandemic Response & Recovery’, Huawei RuralStar Pro Solution Awarded “Best Mobile Innovation for Emerging Markets” of GSMA GLOMO and Rainforest Connection and Huawei’s “Nature Guardian” Project Wins GSMA GLOMO for Outstanding Mobile Contribution to the UN SDGs.
It won it at this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona.
Speaking at the event, Ryan Ding, President of Carrier Business Group, Huawei pointed out that 5G, an area where Huawei is a leading player, is currently demonstrating its potential in several markets across the globe, and added the need for more innovation in the space.
Ding highlighted the progress of 5G technology in China and South Korea. Several research carried out by Huawei showed that the 5G technology is already 20-times faster than 4G, with subscribers hitting 390 million in its home market.
Ding said that between 2021 and 2025, the combination of ICT and 5G digital infrastructure will drive economic growth of €1.9 trillion in China and €130 billion in South Korea, numbers proving operators were becoming drivers for national economies.
“We still need continued 5G innovation, we still need to grow our system tremendously, coordinate telecoms standards and integrate 5G into our core production process,” he further stated that the “5G innovation is an ongoing process and this is just the beginning,” he added.
