[Barcelona, ​​Spain, February 26, 2024] Huawei and China Unicom held an innovation results conference with the theme of "Computing Network as the Foundation, Intelligent Leading the Future" during MWC24 Barcelona, ​​and released 5G-A, whole-home Optical broadband 3.0, AI large model and other related innovative cooperation results.

Relevant leaders of GSMA and China Communications Standards Association, Liang Baojun, deputy general manager of China Unicom, and Li Peng, senior vice president of Huawei and president of ICT sales and services, attended the press conference and delivered speeches; Ma Hongbing, general manager of China Unicom's Science and Technology Innovation Department, released innovative results, and the industry Several representatives made keynote speeches respectively.

Liang Baojun said that in recent years, China Unicom's two main businesses, network communications and computing network, digital intelligence, have developed in a coordinated manner. Its network capabilities have continued to increase, the supply of computing power has continued to enrich, and its large-scale artificial intelligence model capabilities have advanced by leaps and bounds. "The infinite possibilities and huge development space of the digital intelligence world require the concerted efforts of all sectors of the world to open it up together. China Unicom is actively promoting 5G-A network pilots and model construction to achieve 10Gbps ultra-large downlink, 1Gbps intelligent uplink and business guarantee capabilities There has been a significant improvement. China Unicom is continuously improving its integrated computing power products, training and reasoning supply capabilities. The large model system allows AI to not only serve the consumer Internet, but also empower the industrial Internet."

Li Peng said: "China Unicom and Huawei are strategic partners of each other, and they will continue to innovate in technology and applications to achieve leadership in the 5G era. In 2024, Huawei will continue to support China Unicom's innovation in network, business, ecological and other fields to build a 5G- Differentiated competitiveness in the A era will promote high-quality development of the entire industry." Li Peng mentioned that as the network accelerates the evolution from 5G to 5G-A, Huawei will jointly innovate with China Unicom to jointly explore 5G-A network technology and scenario-based Application, through the "two leaders" in "network experience perception" and "industry application innovation", accelerate the maturity of 5G-A standards and business, and set a global leading example.

Ma Hongbing said that in the past year, China Unicom has achieved technological innovations such as uRLLC, RedCap, and passive IoT, and completed the country's first 5G-A large-scale networking demonstration in Beijing in January this year, marking China Unicom's 5G Capital Innovative projects move towards a new stage of 5G-A. The new generation i FTTR product Starlight F50 also helps China Unicom Whole House Optical Broadband 3.0 achieve comprehensive upgrades in network, ecology, and terminal connections. China Unicom's integrated computing power lays the foundation for the creation of large models, smart networks, service transformation, and digital smart life applications.
