5G Redefines Video and Gaming Through CloudX for Greater Business Opportunities
5G lets people experience Gbit/s-level speeds everywhere with the new Air Fiber solution. Comparable to fiber broadband, Air Fiber increases the bit rates tenfold, an ideal option for carriers to make fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) a reality sooner. 5G lets carriers respond to personal, home, and industry demand for massive bandwidth while expanding their business operations.
The emerging 5G + Cloud combination nurtures new services of greater diversity and redefines video, gaming, and many other services. CloudX is poised to emerge as the main attraction of such 5G services. With powerful features that take the advantage of huge bandwidth, low latency, and cloud computing capabilities, Cloud Gaming brings gaming from dedicated hardware to smartphones. Carriers can now offer their mobile users a premier gaming experience while deriving bigger profits from the experience and content.
5G Matures into an Ecosystem with Huawei Open Labs for New Carrier Services
This year, three 5G open labs will open in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East as Huawei aims to bring the 5G service experience and development to the regions. These open labs are a platform for carriers to experience the latest 5G innovations and a 5G + CloudX environment for them to find partners to explore and nurture new services to cater to local market demand.
In 2019, the global 5G industry and ecosystem race towards maturity. Over 60 commercial networks are set to deploy, and more than 40 5G terminals including smartphone models to launch. The number of countries that have licensed 5G spectrum will top 50. 5G will overtake its predecessor wireless communication technologies in speed of global popularity as it brings us a new series of amazing applications.
The Day0 forum also explored how to inspire new growth in operator business through technological innovation and business model optimization, and how to accelerate the digital transformation towards digital business through digital platforms and services.
