[Barcelona, Spain, March 6, 2025] During the 2025 Mobile World Congress (MWC 2025), Huawei’s GigaGear solution was awarded the GSMA Global Mobile (GLOMO) Award for ‘Best Mobile Technology Breakthrough’. GigaGear employs an innovative GigaHz Instantaneous Bandwidth (IBW) hardware architecture and combines advanced Optsolver, an operations research and optimization solver, technologies to dynamically manage air interface resources (AIR), including time slots, spectrum blocks, beam layers, and transmit power manage time slot, spectrum block, beam layers, and transmit power. By implementing adaptive resource allocation based on operational intent and the real-time usage of AIR, it delivers an optimal user experience with minimizing resource consumption. As a result, the spectrum efficiency is enhanced by 30%, and user experience improvements reach approximately 48%.
First technical breakthrough: ultra-wideband radio hardware architecture
Huawei now provides the solution to the industry challenge where ultra-wideband, high power, and power amplifier efficiency of base station RF units are mutually constrictive. At the hardware layer, GigaGear features an integrated architecture of GigaHz power amplifiers and filters. At the software layer, by introducing AIR pooling resource management, GigaGear implements unified management of AIR for 4G/5G technologies within a single virtual cell. The joint orchestration of global resources ensures that only the minimum amount of resources is allocated to meet service experience requirements, thus boosting spectrum efficiency by 30%.
Second technical breakthrough: operations optimization algorithm
Huawei has introduced Optsolver, an operations optimization solver, into its mobile base station products to implement a traceable white-box algorithm based on a mathematical optimization engine, which ensures muti-dimension optimal allocation of deterministic resources. GigaGear leverages OptSolver in both hardware and software to optimize operators’ key performance indicators, OptSolver extends traditional AIR optimization by incorporating multi-dimensional factors such as frequency-differentiated coverage elasticity, Massive MIMO gain coefficient, interference suppression ratio, and operation energy efficiency. This global decision model upgraded the process from the hour level to the millisecond level, thereby enabling real-time decision-making of optimal resources. At its maximum capacity, GigaGear improves user experience by approximately 48%.
Huawei GigaGear Solution Wins GSMA GLOMO “Best Mobile Technology Breakthrough Award”
Sun Rui, President of Huawei’s Wireless solution R&D, said, “Many thanks to GSMA, analysts, and everyone for recognizing GigaGear technology. And many thanks to the customers who support huawei to verify and deploy GigaGear. GigaGear is a key technology that embodies Huawei’s commitment to enhancing spectrum efficiency, user experience, and connection stability, It can support operators build experience-centric networks. Looking ahead, Huawei will continue to drive technological innovation continuously to create greater value for customer.”
MWC Barcelona 2025 will be held from March 3 to March 6 in Barcelona, Spain. During the event, Huawei will showcase its latest products and solutions at stand 1H50 in Fira Gran Via Hall 1.
In 2025, commercial 5G-Advanced deployment will accelerate, and AI will help carriers reshape business, infrastructure, and O&M. Huawei is actively working with carriers and partners around the world to accelerate the transition towards an intelligent world.
