Huawei is taking decisive action to make
the fifth generation of wireless systems
(5G) a reality for Europe.
At the 5G@Europe Summit in Munich,
Germany, participants discussed how
best to join forces to speed up progress
towards achieving this objective.
5G is the next generation of ultra-fast
wireless networks that will power the
technology of tomorrow. Huawei is
investing in a tremendous research
and development effort to turn this
investment into technological progress
for Europe, thanks to an open and
collaborative approach involving industry
partners, consortiums, universities and
leading innovation platforms around the
world.
The 5G@Europe Summit provided the
opportunity to discuss the challenges and
opportunities involved in 5G including
long-term vision and requirements, key
technology drivers and innovation as well
as societal benefits.
“5G will have a fundamental impact on
the ICT industry and on our quality of
life. Huawei is one of the driving forces
in making 5G a reality,” said Dr Wen
Tong, head of wireless research and
head of communications technologies
laboratories at Huawei 2012 LAB.
Huawei will invest significant research
and innovation efforts in Europe within
the Horizon 2020 framework and beyond,
especially at the Huawei European
Research Centre (ERC).
As a member of the European research
consortium METIS, Huawei ERC is at the
forefront of 5G research by developing
the key technology components of the 5G
Wireless interface. The ERC is also one of
the key contributors to the Advanced 5G
Infrastructure public-private partnership
programme (5GPPP) defined by the
European Commission.
Huawei predicts that the first 5G networks
will be ready for commercial deployment
in 2020, delivering 1,000 times the
capacity of current mobile networks and
reaching peak data rates of over 10Gbps.
