SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei's 5G
RAN portfolio has been ranked a leader for the third year in a row
in GlobalData's recent H2 2021 report 5G RAN: Competitive
Landscape Assessment. This report is released every six months
to evaluate the competitive advantages of 5G RAN products from
major RAN vendors. In the H2 2021 report, Huawei's product
portfolio outclassed its competitors in all four criteria: radio
unit portfolio breadth, baseband unit (BBU) capacity, ease of
installation, and technological evolution.
In terms of radio unit portfolio breadth, Huawei's radio product
range greatly facilitates ubiquitous 5G gigabit experiences.
Through continuous innovation, Huawei has amassed various
advantages that allow it to deploy across different scenarios and
spur the industry forward. For example, MetaAAU improves both
coverage and energy efficiency, BladeAAU Pro simplifies 5G
deployment at sites with limited antenna space, 400MHz
ultra-wideband AAU allows operators to utilize fragmented spectrum
and construct shared multi-operator networks, and sub-3 GHz
4T-8T-Massive MIMO multi-antenna ultra-wideband products improve
spectral and energy efficiency while reducing costs. These
offerings can help operators upgrade their networks. According to
the report, Huawei offers the largest variety of 5G radio products
for deployment in different scenarios.
The report also shows that the Huawei BBU5900 leads the pack in
terms of BBU capacity, with the largest number of cells per unit
volume, as well as industry-leading 400 MHz mmWave cell capability.
The Huawei BBU5900 safeguards operators' return on investment and
their ability to cope with future traffic growth.
Ease of installation was another criteria, and Huawei's 5G RAN
portfolio is already far ahead in terms of engineering and
installation, including lightweight devices and compact form
factors. Furthermore, Huawei provides a variety of innovative
solutions to simplify 5G deployment. These include: a 19 kg 64T
Massive MIMO AAU, which is light enough to be carried and installed
by one person; a 10 kg 32T Massive MIMO AAU, which can be easily
deployed in streets capacity scenario; and a Super BladeSite, which
simplifies 5G deployment with its modular design, removing the need
for equipment rooms and cabinets.
Finally, with regards to technological evolution, Huawei's
innovations can be seen in a variety of different areas. For
example, its Adaptive High Resolution (AHR) algorithm improves
network capacity and user experience, its SingleCell solution makes
good use of mid- and low-band spectrum, the CloudAIR and SuperBAND
solutions enable efficient coordination between 4G and 5G networks
for operators, and PowerStar 2.0 improves energy efficiency.
Software innovation is also an important area of interest for
Huawei. Moreover, Huawei was the first to propose new directions
for 5.5G, with the aim of promoting sustainable development for 5G
into the future.
Huawei will continue to place its utmost focus upon user
experience and industry demand. Through innovation, and in
conjunction with partners around the world, Huawei hopes to take
consumer experience to new heights and bring digital to all
industries.
