Doha, Qatar: Huawei has reaffirmed its commitment to empowering operators and partners to unlock the full potential of 5.5G at Mobile World Congress 2024 in Barcelona, Spain.

The company aims to promote intelligent digital transformation across industries, build a thriving industry ecosystem, accelerate the positive business cycle of 5G, and prepare for the upcoming 5.5G era.

Under the theme of “Advance Intelligence,” Huawei is showcasing its comprehensive portfolio of 5.5G, F5.5G, and Net5.5G products and solutions for multiple scenarios at MWC Barcelona 2024.

This diverse offering empowers operators to build ubiquitous, efficient, and collaborative networks that pave the way for the intelligent world of tomorrow.

5.5G is expected to see a commercial launch in 2024. Huawei seeks to help operators build ubiquitous networks that are efficient, collaborative, green, stable, and intelligent so that operators can deliver a premium experience.

Such industry collaboration will take intelligent digital transformation to deeper levels and lead us to an intelligent world faster. 5.5G has delivered stronger network capabilities that are supporting the emergence of more diversified services and more business success for operators.

The industry expects a significant technological transformation to occur soon as these services need higher-level intelligence that features agile service provisioning, accurate user experience assurance, and efficient O&M across domains.

By the end of 2023, more than 300 5G commercial networks had been launched worldwide, serving more than 1.6 billion users. 5G development is now well underway, with the growth rate of global 5G users reaching seven times higher than that of 4G users in the same period.

Operators using Huawei solutions ranked No. 1 regarding network experience during the 2023 testing by a well-known organisation in key cities in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands. Huawei has also collaborated with world-leading operators and industry partners to find innovative solutions to meet higher requirements of new 5.5G applications and scenarios. Together, they have promoted 5.5G technology verification and network deployment, expanding the nascent 5.5G market.

Huawei has already helped operators start 5.5G commercial verification and testing in more than 20 cities around the world.
