Huawei is working hard in 3 Elements of future network: powerful capabilities, agile architecture, efficient management, to help operators to achieve commercial success with "Everyone on Mobile, Everything with Wireless, and Every Industry plus Wireless".

Huawei Viewpoints

Telcos could generate $10 per connected cow per year, Huawei CEO suggests. Given the number of cattle out there, that's a sizeable potential revenue stream

"This is just one of the many opportunities out there. There are 20 million shipping containers in the world and there are 100 million new bicycles manufactured every year. There are 300 million LED street lamps and 1.8 billion water meters throughout the world. The opportunities are everywhere; the only limitation is our imagination,"

“”

Future networks should be application-centric, data-driven, and eventually, it should be an intelligent system,” Hu said.

The use of big data and AI will enable operators to build networks which can be controlled and managed more intelligently: “From operations and maintenance to service provisioning, we want to build networks that are automated, self-optimising, and self-healing. Full autonomy is what we’re aiming for,” Hu observed.

“

”

Huawei Viewpoints

“Never leave until tomorrow that which you can do today.”

“Our industry cannot just sit and wait for 5G. We must act now, incubating new services and building new capabilities in 4.5G networks. I believe that WTTX and NB-IoT will be a good start,” Ryan Ding said.

“These two services will not only create some new revenue, new services, but they will prepare operators to build 5G capabilities in operations, in organization, and most importantly, in ecosystem.”

“”

The huge potential of 5G is emerging, the entire industry needs to act now to build new capabilities to realize the 5G vision. We still have a long way to go.“ ”

Emerging Markets, Emerging Opportunities

Mobile internet demand is CRITICAL in emerging

markets, equalizing mobile internet for all creates

great business opportunities. All stakeholders need

to collaborate to resolve the physical and digital

isolation and create multi win-win situation.

In the 1st MBBF Emerging Market Summit, 8 key

speakers share opinions about building a better

connected emerging markets and conclude that

investment efficiency is the foundation of healthy

business.

Instead of only producing boxes to EM, Huawei

produce connectivity that is valuable, efficient,

controlled, and affordable. With CloudAir, multi-

chanel/multi-sector, and new innovative sites

(TubeStar, PoleStar and RuralStar), operators can

offer more coverage, more capacity and better

experience with limited investment.

“Huawei provides innovative solution enabling the industry to improve investment efficiency on coverage, capacity and experience, for example the CloudAIR, TubeStar, PoleStar, RuralStar etc. We also need industrial collaboration for site alliance for more investment sharing economy and mobile device cooperation for more affordable smartphones.”

Cao Ming,Vice President, Wireless Product Line, Huawei

“Because of this critical mobile internet demand in emerging markets, equalizing mobile internet for all creates great business opportunities. We need all stakeholders to collaborate to resolve the physical and digital isolation and create multi win-win situation.”

Zhou Jianjun,

Vice President, Carrier Business Group, Huawei

“Telefonica is deploying innovative ideas to build an efficient network, such as using fixed wireless access as a complement for fixed services to enable ubiquitous broadband, new types of high power low cost BTS for rural coverage, and etc.”

Pedro Planas,

Chief Technology Officer,Telefónica del Peru

The Internet's benefits scale with quality and frequency of use. However, significant coverage gaps persist (in EM), exacerbated by a lack of infrastructure finance. Blended finance helps overcome investor barriers and facilitate impact-driven projects.

Eric White,

cloudification & openness, more intelligent, and service-oriented. For the future network, new technologies like cloudification and wireless

intelligence will completely unleashing the operator’s Degree of Freedom (DoF). And it will bring the operator a brand new O&M experience with simplicity, intelligence and openness.

5G-Oriented Core Network TransformationRoundtable

5G is around the corner. Emerging applications (AR/VR, IoT, V2X) and new business models (B2B, B2V) have challenging new requirements for the core network. This roundtable discussed hot topics (network capability exposure, CUPS and network-level distributed architecture, etc.), and presented the latest industry insights regarding the co-existence of multiple RATs and construction of a 5G core network.

■Major Consensus

Different services have a diverse set of requirements. Distributed Cloud deployment, Network slicing are some of the mechanisms to address the needs of different applications. The next 2-3 years will introduce 5G into the market to develop into Mass market service after 2020.

Mobile Internet, IoT, Vertical Industry, Smart City will be great opportunities for operators in the near future. Migrating to All Cloud architecture presents some challenges, such as ensuring carrier grade reliability, interoperability and service migration to cloud, changes within the network organization.

Several steps to transform to 5G: NFV deployment, CUPS architecture, 5G option 3 to support augmented RAN capacity, 5G option 7 standalone, distributed deployment for low latency. Distributed deployment shall be done based on the use cases needs. 5G Network slicing enables new market opportunities.

5G Core vision includes being User Centric, Application Driven and Autonomous. It will support multiple access technologies, including Fixed access. 5G Core will support microservicesarchitecture to increase agility in product release upgrades; CUPS for user experience enhancements; network slicing to open up to verticals. Evolution to 5G Core will take place in steps, starting with distributing user plane and deploying NSA first.
