Huawei is set to enter the 5G era ahead of schedule. In terms of 5G commercialization, the company has invested less than 4 billion yuan in research and development. According to recent updates on Huawei's 5G deployment, it is expected that real 5G commercial products will be launched by mid-2018. This marks a significant milestone in Huawei’s global strategy to lead in next-generation wireless technology.
In 2017, Huawei made its largest investment ever in 5G R&D, allocating 5 billion yuan. The company is closely following the progress of 5G standardization and aims to deliver commercial 5G products after June 2018. During the Shanghai Global Internet of Things Summit, Chen Yizhen, vice president of Huawei’s 5G products, delivered a speech titled “Promoting 5G Technology to Seize the World’s First Opportunity,†where he highlighted the company’s vision for the future of 5G.
The development and commercialization of 5G will play a crucial role in driving the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) industry. Countries around the world are viewing 5G as a strategic industry, with strong investments and policy support. In his speech, Chen outlined three key directions for future 5G development: ultra-wideband applications, multi-access applications, and short-latency, high-reliability connection applications.
Currently, 5G networks are being deployed globally, with Japan and South Korea leading the way. South Korea is expected to roll out large-scale national 5G networks by the end of next year. In China, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has urged the three major telecom operators to collaborate with chip manufacturers to achieve nationwide coverage, especially in densely populated urban areas. The NDRC also emphasized the need for specific spectrum allocation, funding, and a clear timeline for 5G advancement.
Chen also shared Huawei’s progress in 5G development. He mentioned that the core network is expected to be finalized by June of next year, and IoT connections will be officially frozen by the end of 2019. The pace of standardization has exceeded Huawei’s initial expectations, and the company plans to mass-produce 5G chips once the standards are finalized. Real 5G commercial products are anticipated to be submitted after June 2018.
In 2017, Huawei Guangguang invested 4 billion yuan in 5G R&D, though this figure does not include the resources allocated to standardization work. Chen pointed out that future 5G will face several challenges, particularly in improving spectrum efficiency by three times within limited space and boosting user experience speeds by ten times. Additionally, ensuring a good return on investment (ROI) for operators remains a critical concern.
The biggest challenge in 5G is spectrum allocation. Operators are eager to acquire more spectrum, but there are only two key technologies to improve efficiency: large bandwidth, which allows for better personal user experiences and broader connectivity, and multiple antennas, which help increase spectral efficiency per Hertz. However, spectrum allocation remains a complex and difficult task.
