Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Joint Stock Limited Company (YOFC) have showcased a suite of advanced products and solutions at the 2024 Mobile World Congress Barcelona (MWC Barcelona). Under the theme “Connecting the Future with Fibre”, YOFC showcased its advancements across five key areas: Move Toward 5G Advanced, New Hub of Green Computing, New Value of Digital Energy, New Experience of Digital Life and Bridge the Digital Gap. “YOFC showcases future of 5G and green computing at MWC Barcelona 2024”
In industry 4.0 era, advanced AI (artificial intelligence) and ML (machine language) technologies have modernised switchgear, enabling precise predictive maintenance through real-time load and fault analysis. Smart switchgears leveraging 5G for instant data transmission are main elements in optimising energy distribution in smart grids and microgrids, minimising downtime and enhancing electrical infrastructure, says GlobalData, data and analytics company.
5G could be a transformative technology but it will be some time before it realises its potential. Between its current state and its future potential lie a number of problems which are currently frustrating the further development of 5G networks. One of the most potent are the literal geographical obstacles that hamstring 5G availability, says Phil Thompson, VP, client partner executive, Spirent Communications.
Small Cell Forum (SCF) continues to advance its 5G FAPI specifications with the release of FAPIv7, an update that brings enhancements to its core FAPI (fibroblast activation protein inhibitors) suite. This release not only underscores SCF’s commitment to advancing small cell and 5G technologies but also demonstrates its dedication to fostering interoperability and accelerating essential advanced cellular features such as massive MIMO (multiple input multiple output).
Nokia, in collaboration with TPG Telecom and MediaTek, showcased a live 360-degree video broadcast on the future of the metaverse, enabled by Nokia’s 5G uplink carrier aggregation (CA) technology, TPG Telecom’s commercial 5G network and MediaTek’s 5G mobile chipset technology. The demonstration highlighted how CA technology can enhance the experience of watching TV, movies and sports, and took place at Nokia’s 5G Futures Lab, Sydney, Australia.
BT and Ericsson have demonstrated the transmission of 5G services in a wideband FDD (frequency division duplex) radio carrier (over 20MHz) within a sub-3 GHz spectrum band. The trial demonstrated benefits of configuring a carrier bandwidth of 50MHz (50MHz downlink + 50MHz uplink) in EE’s 2.6GHz band and performing downlink aggregation with two TDD (time division duplex) carriers in EE’s 3.5GHz band. The trial also evaluated an intermediate carrier bandwidth of 30MHz.
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. has announced that Snapdragon X75 5G modem-RF (radio frequency) system is continuing 5G performance on sub-6 GHz spectrum, achieving a 7.5 Gbps downlink speed. This accomplishment builds upon the launch of Snapdragon X75, a 5G advanced-ready modem-RF system, announced in February at MWC Barcelona, and underscores the company’s continued efforts to push the boundaries of 5G performance and flexibility.
Rakuten Mobile, Inc. and Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation (NEDO) has announced completion of a research and development project. This aims at commercial deployment of fully virtualised 5G stand-alone (SA) mobile network radio access network equipment using general-purpose hardware and cloud technology, as part of NEDO’s “Research and Development Project of Enhanced Infrastructures for Post-5G Information and Communication Systems.”
JMA Wireless (JMA) has announced a three-year research partnership to deliver true ultra-reliable low-latency (URLLC) wireless service with Muriel Medard, NEC professor of software science and engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a voice in network communications.
