Ryan Ding, Executive Director, and Carrier Business Group President officially released the Huawei 5GtoB solution. According to Mr. Ryan, the Huawei 5GtoB solution is a “one-stop solution that covers sales, operations, and services”. The basic aim of this technology is to create value for every “player across the industry value chain”. According to Huawei, this technology will be useful for enterprise users, operators, partners, and other players in the field. It will simplify transactions for enterprise users while operators will have a seamless mobilization of network capabilities.
According to Huawei, as of the end of 2020, the number of 5G commercial terminals and users is massive. Relative to 2019, there is a significant increase. The number of commercially available terminals hit 380, an increase of 8 times. Also, the number of mobile users hit 220 million, an increase of 17 times.
