Huawei’s rotating chairman Guo Ping said at the 2020 Win-Win Future Global Online Summit on July 27 that the global 5G deployment has come to an end, and the next phase will focus on the development of industry applications.
As of June, 81 operators around the world have deployed 5G commercial networks, covering countries and regions that account for approximately 72% of global GDP, including some major economies in Europe and the Asia-Pacific.
At present, there are more than 90 million 5G users worldwide, and more than 700,000 5G base stations have been deployed. It is expected that by the end of the year, there will be more than 1.5 million base stations. The global 5G deployment has come to an end, and the focus of the next phase is to develop industry applications and release 5G dividends.
On July 3 this year, 3GPP's R16 standard was officially frozen, which will further accelerate the development of 5G industry applications.
Guo Ping said that the commercial success of 5G is not just about connection. Strategic technologies such as 5G, computing, cloud, and artificial intelligence have historically converged and promoted each other. Huawei will provide scenario-based solutions based on different needs to help customers achieve business success.
