Li Peng, Huawei's Senior Vice President and President of the Carrier BG, today called for further innovation in 5G to create new value and unleash digital dividends during his keynote at MWC Shanghai 2023. He said the industry needs to innovate together to meet increasing digital requirements in both the consumer and industrial markets.
Titled Creating New Value with 5G to Unleash Digital Dividends, his speech discussed how 5G is spearheading the development of the digital industry and enabling the digitalization of all industries.
Li said, "The future is now. New business scenarios for people, homes, businesses, and vehicles are delivering new experiences. This is raising higher requirements for network capabilities. Enhanced network capabilities, like 10 Gbps downlink, 1 Gbps uplink, and 100 billion IoT connections, are creating a vast market space in 5.5G for carriers."
Connecting people: Demand for new experience boosts traffic dividends
Currently, the world has over 1.2 billion 5G users. Li explained that the pursuit of the ultimate experience by the large number of users is driving the development of innovative content and applications as well as the construction of 5G networks that can deliver a 10 Gbps experience.
Huawei predicts that these applications and content will also spur a 10-fold surge in traffic. For example, the traffic generated by naked-eye 3D content will see a 3- to 10-fold increase compared with 2D videos. A single New Calling user can generate over 1 GB of data per week while one cloud phone user can generate over 1 GB of data a day.
