(Motherland) - The 5G-A network operates seamlessly, intelligently, achieving super-high speeds, and is expected to soon become widely popular.
In early June, the alliance of Huawei, China Mobile, and several Chinese companies introduced the enhanced 5G-Advanced network with an anticipated download speed of 10Gb per second and upload speed of 1GB per second.
While 5G has been around for a while, theoretically providing a maximum download speed of 10Gb per second under ideal conditions, the practical 5G connection ranges from 800 Mb per second to 1 Gb per second.
According to the announcement, the 5G-A network operates simply, intelligently, achieving super-high speeds, and is expected to surpass the average real-world download speed of 5G by a significant margin. Additionally, 5G-A promises to help China connect around 100 billion IoT devices at a low cost, with high-precision identification and positioning.
5G-A is currently approved by 3GPP. In case you didn't know, 3GPP is the organization setting global communication standards, representing about 700 companies, including major technology giants like Apple, Google, and Huawei.
Two years ago, Huawei discussed 5G-A, then known as 5.5G, at the Global Mobile Broadband Forum (MBBF 2020). At that time, Huawei's Deputy Chairman, Ken Hu, predicted that 5G would revolutionize the way users live, connect, and work.
Currently, 5G services in China have been deployed across various industries, delivering speeds of hundreds of Mb per second.
Not only upgrading the 5G network, but Huawei also plans to roll out the 6G network by 2030. Expectations are high for 6G, projecting speeds of 1 TB per second, 100 times faster than 5G, excelling in metrics such as latency, traffic density, connection density, mobility, and spectrum efficiency.
