24 Huawei Investment & Holding Co., Ltd.

5G base station installation in Switzerland

has been extensively adopted in many countries,

including Switzerland, Italy, Germany, South Korea,

China, and Saudi Arabia.

■    As the C-Band spectrum for 5G is currently not

available for some carriers, Huawei’s Sub-3 GHz

NR Solution helps them reuse existing Sub-3 GHz

spectrum resources on their live networks for quick

and extensive 5G coverage.

■    Huawei’s 4G-5G Coordination Solution helps build

converged networks that deliver the best experience

for edge and indoor users. Huawei’s Digital Indoor

System Solution enables 5G networks to deliver

large capacity in indoor scenarios and a consistent

indoor and outdoor experience, and supports

evolution towards future networks. Some of our

achievements in 2019 include the following:

●^ We teamed up with China Telecom to build

the world’s first 5G Super Uplink network in

Shanghai, which provided strong assurance

for the extensive adoption of 5G in vertical

industries.

●^ Huawei’s 5G LampSite for indoor digitization

was deployed by nearly 40 carriers from 28

countries and regions.

5G Transport Network

Huawei uses industry-leading architecture and

innovative products and technologies to build DC-

centric 5G transport networks with optimal cost per bit

and committed SLAs in order to help carriers succeed

in 5G.

■    IP: Huawei’s intelligent 5G transport networks

guarantee high bandwidth and low latency while

ensuring reliable connectivity. This is achieved

through the Network Cloud Engine (NCE) smart

brain using FlexE-based slicing, SRv6-based low

latency, and real-time packet loss detection by in-

situ Flow Information Telemetry (iFIT). Some of our

achievements in 2019 include the following:

● Our intelligent 5G transport networks were

commercially deployed on a large scale by

China Mobile Zhejiang, China Unicom Beijing,

China Telecom Sichuan, MTN, Zain, and other

carriers globally.

● According to market research firm IHS Markit,

Huawei routers continued to maintain the

largest share in the carrier market in 2019

thanks to our technology and market leadership

in 5G transport networks.

■    Optical transport: Huawei helps carriers build all-

optical transport networks with optimal cost per

bit by increasing per-fiber capacity and simplifying

per-site configurations. Our key efforts and

achievements include the following:

● We launched the industry’s first optical cross-

connect (OXC) equipment, which reduces the

required site space and power consumption

by approximately 80% when compared to

traditional equipment. The OXC equipment has

been deployed by more than 30 carriers (e.g.,

China Telecom Sichuan).

● Our 5G-oriented DWDM transport equipment

uses Super C band technology to support 120

wavelengths, and boasts capacity 25% higher

than the industry average.
