Huawei Unveils 5Giga Green For Mobile Networks To Lower Power Consumption

Huawei’s 5Giga Green is officially being rolled out across additional markets outside Europe including Africa. It is a composite of technologies built for 5G environments and structured to boost mobile network coverage at lower costs, optimize energy efficiency and raise performance.

They include the ultra-wideband Remote Radio Unit (RRU) and BladeAAU Pro antenna that cut the eight base station modules required for common sites down to just three, while also supporting more frequency bands and boosting coverage and capacity, and consuming less electricity.

These Gigaband technologies support the strategy of simplified and green evolution of 3G and 4G to 5G networks, This is necessary as mobile network operators need additional spectrum and multi-antenna deployments to ensure superb 5G experience with high bandwidth, vast connectivity, low latency, and elevated reliability.

Speaking when she presided over the launch, Sabrina Meng, Huawei’s Rotating Chairwoman, and CFO noted that countries like Kenya which have a digital transformation mission will need to align their policies with global best practices in sustainability. She lauded Kenya’s investment in a nationwide digital network, explaining that optical fiber is a critical national digital transformation infrastructure that is expected to play a key role in success stories in the Giga era.

“Digital and intelligent transformation goes beyond technology to changing approaches to management. Going digital requires redefining the relationships between people, events, things, and theory, and adopting a more open, forward-looking management approach to address future challenges,” noted Sabrina.

With the powerful advantages of fiber in terms of capacity, sustainability, and green development, Huawei’s 5Giga Green empowers gigabit optical networks to further promote the development of the digital society.

“This digital infrastructure of the future intelligent world will be deeply integrated into every aspect of our lives, industry, and society. It will be based on advancements in individual technologies, incredibly massive, complex systems – the convergence of multiple elements. It’s going to require systems-level thinking and design,” she said.

Sabrina pointed out that with over 1.2 billion 5G users worldwide, mobile operators who moved quickly to develop 5G are already enjoying the first wave of benefits. These include increasing network requirements being set by new applications such as new calling, cloud phones, and glasses-free 3D.

At this year’s MWC Shanghai, Huawei showcased four of the major features of 5.5G – 10 Gbit/s downlink, 1 Gbit/s uplink, 100 billion connections, and native AI as well as explored the five connectivity areas expected to go mainstream with 5.5G which are connectivity for people, things, vehicles, industries, and homes
