"5G-A smart home" shows the smart home that pursues more intelligent terminal connections and better experience in the future. On the one hand, traditional home applications such as video experience will move toward higher resolutions such as 4K and 8K; on the other hand, applications such as naked-eye 3D and XR will enter home office, education, sports, entertainment and other scenarios, bringing new aspects of smart home life. experience.

These new changes have placed demands on home networks for higher speeds, higher reliability, and lower latency. In smart home scenarios, 5G-A technology has downlink 10Gbps, uplink 1Gbps, and deterministic latency capabilities of 20ms@95%, which can effectively support multiple connections and high experience for future home services.

du CEO Fahad AI Hassawi said in the launch speech: "Since the 5G era, FWA has been an important and efficient business, allowing us to provide advanced services to our value users. As a pioneer in this field, du is very important to leadership We are extremely proud to implement this groundbreaking solution. du's long and solid collaboration with Huawei has been fruitful and now we are working together to make FWA² a reality, a move that will drive us to develop a more innovative business and ultimately enhance our user experience, there is no doubt that they will enjoy a better experience with higher speeds in their home environment.”

Li Peng, Huawei's Senior Vice President and President of Carrier BG, said: "Huawei is pleased to work with du to jointly release 5G-A enabled smart homes. This achievement represents du's continued exploration of future networks and its continuous pursuit of a higher experience. . Here, we can experience the ultimate peak speed brought by 5G-A innovative technology and see the infinite possibilities that 5G-A brings to future families. Looking into the future, Huawei will join hands with du to continue to build more extreme 5G networks and explore 5G -A business path supports du’s continued leadership in the 5G-A era.”

Since the 5G era, FWA has achieved great success as a key 5G service. Embracing the new stage of 5G-A, with a 10-fold increase in network capabilities, will usher in the 10-Gigabit home era, creating a new smart home experience while opening up a new business space, which is expected to bring business opportunities a hundred times greater than before.
