DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- At the 2021
Global Mobile Broadband Forum (MBBF), Ryan
Ding, Huawei's Executive Director and President of the
Carrier Business Group, gave a keynote speech entitled "Green 5G
Networks for a Low-Carbon Future". In his speech, Ding said that 5G
has become a new engine for the growth of the mobile industry, and
that to adapt to the rapid growth of data traffic, the whole
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.
According to Ding, in countries where 5G is developing faster,
operators who have invested heavily in 5G have seen remarkable
returns, but he stressed that operators will realize business value
only when the 5G user penetration rate is high enough. When the 5G
user penetration rate reaches a threshold of 20%, Ding 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. In addition, 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 600 GB by 2030. If the energy efficiency
of existing networks remains unchanged, the energy consumption of
wireless networks will increase by more than tenfold. Ding said
that to cut the ICT industry's greenhouse gas emissions by 45%,
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 itself offers a comprehensive range of products and
solutions that address power consumption issues of wireless
networks. The company has developed the iSolar power supply
solution that covers all scenarios, including poles, cabinets,
sites, and equipment rooms. This solution can reduce the use of
electricity from grids and fossil fuels by diesel generators and
improve the energy mix that powers base stations. On the power
distribution front, Huawei provides an industry-leading
high-density power solution. For each site, just one cabinet—or
even just one blade—is needed, which supports the long-term
evolution of mobile networks. To use power more efficiently, Huawei
has redesigned site form factors and now offers highly integrated
simplified site solutions for use in all scenarios. These solutions
maximize the share of energy used by communications equipment and
ensure electricity is fully used. Wireless networks need to work in
synergy with power supply, distribution, and use. This means
operators need to use information flows to manage energy flows, in
order to maximize energy use and save energy at the network
level.
Toward the end of his speech, Ding said Huawei has 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. As a player in the
communications industry, Huawei will continue to put green
development at the center of everything it does and develop
innovative solutions to build greener 5G networks with operators
worldwide.
The Global Mobile Broadband Forum 2021 is hosted by Huawei,
together with its industry partners GSMA and the SAMENA
Telecommunications Council. The forum gathers mobile network
operators, vertical industry leaders, and ecosystem partners from
around the world to discuss how to maximize the potential of 5G and
push the mobile industry forward. For more information, please
