5.5G is coming, Huawei suggests ten times improvements
On August 3, at the 5G-Advanced Innovation Industry summit, Huawei’s MD and President of ICT Products and Solutions Wang Tao explained six innovative directions for 5.5G, as its arrival is upfront.
The name itself clears that the 5.5G is an advanced version of the 5G network with some extra capabilities over the base network. Huawei claims that 5.5G can improve the real-time interaction experience, enhance cellular IoT capabilities, and explore new scenarios.
According to the info, Wang Tao stated that 5.5G should innovate in six different directions in order to achieve more than 10 times capacity improvements. These six areas of innovations include:
- Spectrum reconstruction
- Uplink enhancement
- Full scenario IoT
- Synesthesia
- L4 autonomous driving network
- Green and low carbon
In order to achieve the 5.5G’s extreme capabilities, the current 5G network needs to be enhanced in a number of ways. The enhancements are required in upstream and downstream rates, high precision positioning, and connection density. Moreover, the requirements also suggest adding new capabilities such as perception.
Xu Wenwei, Huawei’s director and dean of Strategic Research institute said that the 5.5G is the next level over the current 5G network. The advanced network is derived from the 5G and it should support all the 5G devices.
Furthermore, he adds that the 5.5G network should be compatible to support the sub-100GHz full frequency band.
5.5 will provide Gbps downlink at a low latency of 5ms compared to 5G
5.5G is an innovation on which Huawei is continuously working. The Chinese tech giant predicts that the 5.5G will outperform the current 5G network in many aspects. After continuous work over the 5.5G network, Huawei plans to go beyond 5.5G along with its partners between 2025 and 2030. Read more here
