On October 25, the 2022 Global Mobile Broadband Forum with the theme of "5G Leads the Stride" was held in Bangkok.

Hu Houkun, Rotating Chairman of Huawei, delivered a speech on the theme of "Leading the Leap with 5G".

　　Hu Houkun pointed out that since the commercial use of 5G for three years, good progress has been made in network deployment, consumer business and industrial applications, and it has entered a period of rapid development.

5G has great potential for development, but still faces many challenges.

He also appealed: "Let us act together to fully tap and improve the network capabilities of 5G, develop diversified services such as cloud and system integration, and jointly promote the leapfrog development of 5G networks, applications and industries."

Hu Houkun made a keynote speech at the conference

　　As of October 2022, more than 230 operators around the world have launched 5G commercial services, and more than 3 million 5G sites have been deployed, with 700 million 5G users.

Based on the rapid advancement of network deployment, 5G is jumping from a period of large-scale commercial use to a period of rapid development.

　　5G's consumer-facing business remains the ballast for operators' revenue.

Compared with 4G, the user experience of 5G has been greatly improved, and a new consumption behavior represented by video has been formed.

This has led to a doubled increase in Internet traffic (DOU), and at the same time, the ARPU value has increased by 20% to 40%, which has promoted the steady growth of operators' connection revenue.

　　At the same time, 5G industry-oriented applications are becoming a new engine for operators' revenue growth.

At present, in the fields of oil and gas, manufacturing, transportation, etc., new applications driven by 5G have emerged in many markets around the world.

These applications not only bring business innovation, but also bring actual business value to operators.

For example, in 2021, there will be more than 3,000 5GtoB commercial projects for Chinese operators, with revenue exceeding RMB 3.4 billion, leveraging 10 times DICT revenue and becoming the fastest growing business area for operators.

　　5G has created many new scenarios, new applications, and new models, which have brought unprecedented opportunities for the development of the entire industry.

To seize these opportunities, Hu Houkun believes that preparations can be made in three aspects.

　　First, continue technological innovation, improve network construction, and enhance user experience.

The construction of 5G should not only meet the coverage requirements, but also build networks around services and experience.

High-quality user experience is the key to attracting consumers to choose more 5G services.

For example, Chinese operators have optimized the network around the Douyin service experience, shortened the first screen delay by 50%, reduced the stall rate to one-tenth of the original, and doubled the traffic.

Second, jointly define and promote the orderly development of the 5.5G industry.

Promote the continuous evolution of 5G, and aim to realize the four key characteristics of 5.5G "downlink 10Gbps, uplink 1Gbps, 100 billion connections, and endogenous intelligence" in 2025.

Hu Houkun appealed: "I hope the industry will work together to promote the definition of 5.5G standards, spectrum acquisition and industrial chain construction."

　　Finally, carry out business and business innovation to fully release the 5G dividend.

Based on the advantages of 5G's large bandwidth and low-latency network capabilities, operators can fully synergize and integrate 5G, cloud, and AI to provide consumers with new business experiences, such as XR, cloud games, and new calls. Provide convenient, reliable and secure digital services for enterprise users.

In this process, operators can expand from connection suppliers to cloud service providers and system integrators, thus opening up new revenue sources.

　　The digitalization of thousands of industries is the next wave of global economic development.

As a key enabling technology for digital transformation, 5G has great potential for development, but we still face many challenges.

Hu Houkun appealed: "The whole industry should act together, jointly promote the leap-forward development of 5G networks, applications and industries, and seize future opportunities."

　　It is reported that at the 2022 Global Mobile Broadband Forum, Huawei, together with industry partners GSMA and GTI, has in-depth interactions and exchanges with global mobile network operators, vertical industry leaders, and ecological partners to discuss the success of 5G business and discuss green, intelligent, and 5G technologies. Evolution and other hot topics.
