Huawei for building greener 5G networks
To adapt to the rapid growth of data traffic, the mobile industry will need to keep pursuing innovations in power supply, distribution, use, and management, and build greener 5G networks with higher performance and lower energy consumption, said Ryan Ding, Huawei's executive director.
He was delivering the keynote speech titled "Green 5G Networks for a Low-Carbon Future," on the second day of Global Mobile Broadband Forum 2021 in Dubai.
In countries where 5G is developing faster, operators who have invested heavily in 5G have seen remarkable returns, Ryan said. But he stressed that operators would realise business value only when the 5G user penetration rate is high enough.
READ: Huawei Connect 2021 begins
When the 5G user penetration rate reaches a threshold of 20%, Ryan said, rapid development of 5G will follow.
In countries such as China, South Korea, and Kuwait, operators were quick to provide continuous nationwide coverage, giving users a consistent experience. They also offer flexible service packages, which delivers a win-win result for both users and themselves.
Also, these operators are providing a gigabit experience – a tangible improvement over 4G – to accelerate user migration and network evolution. In these countries, the 5G user penetration rate has exceeded the 20% threshold, triggering a positive cycle of user growth, business returns, and network construction.

High-quality 5G networks will drive the rapid growth of mobile data traffic. It is estimated that the average data traffic per user per month will reach 600GB by 2030.
If the energy efficiency of existing networks remains unchanged, the energy consumption of wireless networks will increase by more than tenfold. Ryan said to cut the ICT industry's greenhouse gas emissions by 45 per cent, operators will need to pursue ongoing innovations in power supply, distribution, use, and management to build greener 5G networks with higher performance and lower energy consumption.
Huawei already deployed low-carbon site solutions in more than 100 countries, including Saudi Arabia, Greece, Pakistan, and Switzerland, helping operators reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 40 million tons, he added.

Contacted, mobile operators told the UNB correspondent that the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has directed them through a notice to keep the 3G and 4G mobile data services suspended across the country from Friday 5am until further direction.

XR services, B2B market, low-carbon development to drive 5G growth: Huawei
Extended Reality (XR) services, the B2B market, and low-carbon development will drive the next stage of 5G growth, Huawei's Rotating Chairman Ken Hu said at the company's 12th annual Global Mobile Broadband Forum in Dubai Wednesday.
There are now 176 commercial 5G networks around the globe, serving more than 500 million subscribers. In the consumer space, average 5G download speeds are roughly 10 times greater than 4G, which has fueled broader adoption of applications like VR and 360-degree broadcasting.
In the enterprise space, there are already 10,000 projects exploring B2B applications of 5G (5GtoB) around the world. 5G applications in industries like manufacturing, mining, and ports have already passed the trial and are being replicated at scale.
READ: Huawei Connect 2021 begins
While progress has been steady, there are still some areas for improvement. "Right now, more than half of these 10,000 5GtoB projects are in China. We have a huge number of use cases already, but we need to build more sustainable business cases," Ken said.
He went on to speak of broader changes that will have a long-term impact on the ICT industry, including accelerated digital transformation caused by the pandemic, how cloud and AI have become must-haves for all organisations, and how the world is taking climate change more seriously. "These trends provide many opportunities for our industry," he said. "But they also create some challenges. There are a few things we can do to get ready."
First, the industry needs to get networks, devices, and content ready for explosive growth in XR. To support a smooth cloud-based XR experience, networks need to provide download speeds faster than 4.6 Gbit/s with latency no greater than 10 milliseconds.
Read GSMA sets out 5G Roadmap for Asia Pacific
On the device side, lowering barriers to headset adoption is critical to reaching a tipping point in virtual reality, one of the key technologies in the XR repertoire of AR, VR, and MR. "To reach [this tipping point], we have to make improvements to both headsets and content. For headsets, people want devices that are smaller, lighter, and more affordable," Hu said.
Second, telecom operators need to enhance their networks and develop new capabilities to get ready for 5GtoB. A strong network is a key to 5G applications for industrial use, so operators need to keep making improvements to network capabilities such as uplink, positioning, and sensing. As industrial scenarios are much more complex than consumer scenarios, O&M can be a real challenge.
So, Huawei is developing autonomous networks that bring intelligence to all aspects of 5G networks, from planning and construction to maintenance and optimisation, according to a media statement.
READ: Canadians released after Huawei CFO resolves US charges
In addition to providing connectivity, operators can also serve as cloud service providers, systems integrators, and more and develop the requisite capabilities. To drive broader adoption of 5G in industries, developing industry-specific telecoms standards is also important.
