Traditionally, live TV broadcasting requires broadcasting vehicles worth at least CNY80 million and 150 onsite workers for recording, editing, transmission, and broadcasting -- not to mention the high costs arising from costly satellite transmission.

Huawei offers a broad range of modular and full-series solutions, including Massive MIMO, Blade Site, and BookRRU, to help global operators build green, converged, and ultra-lean 5G networks. Their power consumption is so low that per-bit energy efficiency is 25 times higher.

MWC Shanghai 2019 will be held in Shanghai, China from June 26–28, 2019. Huawei's exhibition areas include halls E10 and E70 in Hall N1 and the Innovation City zone at booth ICA01 in Hall N5 of Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC).
