Huawei says it is the world’s first commercial chipset supporting the 3GPP standard for 5G connectivity, with downlink speeds of up to 2.3Gbps. This device marks a milestone as Huawei sets the stage for the next generation of wireless connectivity.

The HUAWEI low frequency 5G CPE is small and lightweight, compatible with 4G and 5G networks, and has proven measured download speeds of up to 2Gbps – 20 times that of 100Mbps fiber. This provides an ultra-fast experience, allowing users to enjoy VR video and gaming experiences, or download a TV show within a second.

 

It supports 5G across all frequency bands including sub-6 GHz and millimetre wave (mmWave) to offer a complete 5G solution suitable for multiple use cases. 

The Balong 5G01 makes Huawei the first company offering an end-to-end 5G solution through its network, devices and chipset-level capabilities.

Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group said:

 “5G technology will underpin the next leap forward for our intelligent world, where people, vehicles, homes and devices are fully connected, delivering new experiences, insights and capabilities,”

Working with industry partners such as Vodafone, Telefonica, T-Mobile, China Mobile and Softbank to name few, Huawei is hoping to develop a range of 5G ready WIFI devices, industrial modules and of course smartphones.

“Since 2009, Huawei has invested US$600 million in research and development into 5G technologies, where we have led the way with innovations around network architecture, spectrum usage, field verification, and more.”

Richard Yu also added:

“From connected vehicles and smart homes to AR/VR and hologram videos, we are committed to developing a mature 5G ecosystem, so that consumers can benefit from a truly connected world that transforms the way we communicate and share.”

With this release of the industry’s first 3GPP-based E2E 5G network systems solutions, Huawei also announced a joint innovation program to experiment 5G in France with Bouygues Telecom. Bouygues Telecom intends to provide ultra-high capacities for data services, greatly improving user experience and continuously maintaining a leading position in telecom network.

Amongst the Full Range of 5G End-to-End Product Solutions launched at MWC also were the C-band 64T64R and 32T32R Massive MIMO AAUs to deliver ubiquitous Gbps experience.
