Huawei Calls For More Open, Modular 5G Deployments

Huawei is now calling for cooperation across every facet of the wireless networking industry in the adoption of new cell site technology that will better support current networks through 5G and beyond. Speaking at the recent Huawei Analyst Summit in Shenzhen, company CMO Peter Zhou pointed to two concepts behind the company's SingleRAN Pro solution that Mr. Zhou says will help boost performance and drive down cost. Centering on concepts introduced with its mobile automation engine last year, the second part of Huawei's answer is embodied in two solutions that are driven by AI management of cell networks. For outdoor cell sites, the company points to its Super Blade site solution, suitable for greenfield macro sites, rooftops, and new installations. That's built around a specialized ASIC chip that improves integration and utilizes a 1+1 antenna integrated into a more modular design. The decrease in complexity for indoor cells is provided via the '5G LampSite'.
