[Dubai, UAE, October 10, 2023] Today, Huawei opened the 14th Global Mobile Broadband Forum in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Li Peng, Huawei's Corporate Senior Vice President and President of Huawei's Carrier BG, gave a keynote speech at the event. In his speech, Mr. Li called on global carriers and industry partners to rise above the current situation, cope with increased demands on their networks, and make the most of future trends.
“Start today to build tomorrow’s network for tomorrow’s services and unlock the limitless potential of 5G for continued success.” He said.

In his speech on promoting a positive 5G business cycle and introducing 5.5G (5G-A), Mr. Lee said, “We are already on the right path towards 5G business success, and 5G Advanced is the evolution of 5G. It's a natural next step.”
He emphasized that throughout history, all major economic transformations have come from innovations in general-purpose technologies. “We are now in the digital age, and the internet is driving the digital economy,” Lee said in his speech.
“5G is an important part of the new economic transformation,” Lee continued. “And it is enabling new innovations in commodity technologies. For the digital industry, 5G is rapidly evolving, opening up new markets and opportunities.”
According to Li, future mobile networks will have six key capabilities: 10 Gbps downlink, 1 Gbps uplink, deterministic networking, support for 100 billion IoT connections, integrated sensing and communication, and native AI capabilities. is required. To achieve this, carriers and industry players are focusing on three key usage scenarios: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), large-scale machine type communications (mMTC), and ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). Not only do we need to continually enhance our capabilities in . – In addition, it will also develop three new features including Uplink He-Centric Broadband Communications (UCBC) and Real-Time He-Centric Broadband Communications (RTBC).
Mr. Lee spoke about 5G Advance, the next evolutionary step in 5G technology, where the industry collaborates to accelerate the development of an ecosystem of devices and applications, validate use case scenarios, and explore the large-scale commercialization of FWA Square. He also said that there is a need to accelerate the Passive IoT, and RedCap.
These efforts are essential to take full advantage of the five emerging trends that will shape our intelligent digital future.
Li Peng shares 5 trends shaping an intelligent digital future
3D without glasses
The glasses-free 3D industry ecosystem is rapidly maturing. Breakthroughs in technology such as cloud rendering and real-time 3D virtual humans are taking immersive experiences to new heights. In the future, more and more devices, such as mobile phones and televisions, will support glasses-free 3D, increasing data traffic by a factor of 10 compared to 2D video.
automated guided vehicle
By 2025, there will be over 500 million smart vehicles on the road. Smart vehicles with high-bandwidth, low-latency networks will be able to share information with people, vehicles, roads, and the cloud in real time. In driver assistance scenarios, smart vehicles consume over 300 gigabytes of data each month for cloud-based model training and weekly algorithm updates. Autonomous driving scenarios increase data consumption by a factor of 100.
next generation manufacturing
Breakthroughs in capabilities such as network slicing and edge computing have led to a 100x increase in the number of 5G private networks for enterprises and a market size of over USD 10 billion. However, as production lines become more flexible, rely more on wireless networks, and more core production systems are deployed on the cloud, the requirements for 5G networks are increasing.
Huawei collaborated with carriers and industry partners to build the industry's first 5G-Advanced flexible prototyping line. In this production line, 5G-Advanced supports high concurrency and deterministic network connectivity, helping to more efficiently connect computing power between the cloud and the network edge.
General purpose cellular IoT
With over 3 billion mobile IoT connections worldwide, 5G is now connecting more things than people. In the near future, 5G will support a wider range of IoT technologies, including medium-speed RedCap and passive IoT. This provides more options for different IoT scenarios and enables a more efficient flow of data, information, and computing power. For example, in the consumer electronics manufacturing sector, passive IoT helped provide visibility across the distribution and production chain, helping to increase overall productivity by 30% in validation trials.
Guarantee intelligent computing anywhere
With the rise of new developments in AI, such as fundamental models, the demand for AI computing power is expected to explode. By 2025, this demand is expected to reach 100 times its current level. More advanced networking capabilities are key to unlocking the full potential of AI computing power. Truly intelligent connectivity requires increased network bandwidth and low latency. Additionally, as traffic models begin to change, future networks will need to become more autonomous and intelligent to provide a reliable experience.
