In addition, to enhancing deep coverage and high capacity, the number of new sites will keep increasing in the future, not only traditional macro sites, but also the new pole sites and outdoor small cells and indoor coverage systems.   But how can we increase new sites in an easy, low-cost way? We provide a series of scenario- based site solutions, including TubeStar, PoleStar, RuralStar, and a multi-hop outdoor small cell and indoor Lampsite solution, so we can deliver the most suitable E2E site solution for various site scenarios. Reducing latency to ms level Another challenge in the 5G era is low latency and reliability, especially for some industrial applications. For air inter face latency, innovative technologies such as short TTI, grant-free and self-containment, we’ve already reduced latency to less than 0.5 ms in the IMT-2020 test this year.  For network latency, we need simplified network architecture and we must decouple service functions and network locations to be able to deploy services on-demand, making services close to end users to reduce latency. These innovations enable ultra reliable low latency with 1 ms and five 9s reliability, which meet industrial requirements. Agile Network Architecture: Mobile Cloud  To support these capabilities, I’m proud to release the portfolio of the 5G Era SingleRAN. This is the first time we’ve released a 5G series product at MBBF, with 5G and 5G technology leveraged to 4G. This is part of our 5G series of products. Huawei first released our Mobile Cloud Solution at the last MBBF, which includes CloudEdge, CloudRAN, and CloudAIR, and started a new mobile cloud era. CloudEdge solution is already mature. To date, we’ve signed more than 120 commercial contracts and commercially deployed 30 networks, with commercial subscribers topping 60 million. As 5G approaches, CloudEdge will pave the way for a welcome upgrade to 5G cloud-based core networks. 33
