Meet 5.5G Core - a pioneering concept by Huawei to boost network connectivity, enable services in more scenarios, and build future-ready businesses.
By George Gao, President of the Huawei Cloud Core Network Product Line
As 5G is developed on a bigger scale and rolled out to more users, its commercialization is becoming a focal point of the industry. New services and applications are increasing pressure on networks and driving the evolution of standards, technologies, applications, and ecosystems. The industry is poised for the 5.5G era.
The key to ensuring future business success is developing and supporting a comprehensive set of services which can be applied to a wider range of domains and offer a differentiated user experience. Core network construction and evolution are paramount to achieving this.
Some of the most impressive features of 5.5G Core are New Call, mobile edge computing (MEC) to X, and New Video. New Call upgrades audio/video calls to immersive intelligent experiences. MEC to X extends industry-specific private networks from a single application in an individual domain to a range of applications across all domains. New Video transforms videos from entertainment on a single screen to multi-screen social networking that transcends reality.
By leveraging these capabilities to bring services to more consumer-, business-, and household-facing scenarios, the core network will place the industry in a strong position to build new businesses and thrive in the intelligent world.
