This announcement is a testament to their joint innovation prowess followed by an MoU signed on 5.5G centered on 5G-A technological innovation, application exploration early in March this year.
At the recently held 2023 Global Mobile Broadband Forum (MBBF) Huawei in collaboration with du has unveiled the ground-breaking world’s first 5G Advanced (5G-A) demonstration Villa. This is an archetype for the future smart home living powered by a staggering 10Gbps networks.
The 5G-A Villa epitomizes the seamless integration of cutting-edge technologies, offering an unparalleled smart home experience enriched with applications such as naked-eye 3D and XR. As consumers increasingly crave superior experiences, this inspires the evolution of content and applications, subsequently amplifying the demand on network capabilities. To satiate these growing needs, carriers find themselves compelled to amplify their home networks to a remarkable 10Gbps.
Speaking at the launch, Fahad Al Hassawi, CEO, du commented, “Our enduring partnership with Huawei has been fruitful consistently, and with the introduction of FWA², we are poised to redefine the boundaries of user experience, offering our subscribers unparalleled internet connectivity indoors.”
Echoing this sentiment, Li Peng, Huawei’s Corporate Senior Vice President and President of the company’s Carrier BG, remarked, “The showcase offers a first-hand look at the infinite possibilities that 5G-Advanced technology will bring to future homes and the better network experience that 5G-A will offer mobile users. It is the result of du’s continuous pursuit of a better digital experience. This achievement is only the beginning. Moving forward, Huawei will continually support du in its effort to build the best 5G networks, explore the commercial use of 5G-Advanced networks, while championing du’s leadership in this transformative era.”
5G-A Villa sheds light on the boundless potential that deterministic experience technology heralds for the households of tomorrow. Harnessing Huawei’s innovative FWA² solution, it illustrates how, in the 5G era, FWA became an operator’s powerhouse tool for rapid user expansion. As we transition to 5G-A/5.5G, the FWA² solution, encompassing FWA Pro, FWA Lite, and FWA Biz, promises unparalleled services for discerning customers.
