GlobalData, a world-renowned data analytics and\nconsulting company for the Information and Communications Technology (ICT)\nindustry, has published its latest analysis of 5G competitiveness in the second\nhalf of 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report, 5G RAN: Competitive Landscape Assessment<\/em>, evaluates the 5G radio access network (RAN) product portfolios of the world’s leading equipment vendors. According to the assessment, Huawei gained the top position in H2 2019 and remained the clear leader across the entire 5G RAN portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The criteria categories employed in the 5G RAN\ncompetitive assessment include baseband unit (BBU) capacity, radio unit portfolio,\ninstallation ease and technology evolution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The assessment concluded that Huawei’s 5G RAN\nportfolio held the strongest overall leadership position, achieving a rating of\nleader across all four evaluated criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Huawei boasts the industry’s most complete 5G radio\nunit product portfolio. A total of 94 radio unit products are supported,\nincluding 22 Massive MIMO models, 32 integrated antenna models and 14 dual-band\nmodels (referring to these capable of operating on two bands). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Huawei holds the top position in all four dimensions.\nIn addition, Huawei’s 5G RAN Radio Unit products support 35 NR bands, the\nindustry’s most powerful support capabilities, enabling operators to better\nserve their subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Huawei says it boasts the industry’s most streamlined\nand flexible 5G RAN deployment. Apart from clear leadership across traditional\ninstallation criteria (such as product weight and dimensions), Huawei also\ndelivers multiple novel solutions to ensure quick, simplified 5G deployments.\nOne example is Super BladeSite, which solves 5G deployment challenges in cases\nwhere antenna space is extremely limited, while also reducing the dependence of\nsite devices on equipment rooms and air conditioning facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Huawei says it delivers the industry’s most powerful\nBBU capabilities. Huawei’s BBU products supports 36 cells with a bandwidth of\n100 MHz on the sub-6 GHz and 36 cells with a bandwidth of 400 MHz on the mmWave\nband. Such high BBU capacity puts global operators in a strong position to deal\nwith increasingly demanding traffic growth well into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The assessment serves as both a guide for mobile\noperators when selecting 5G RAN suppliers and a tool for vendors to assess\ntheir own competitiveness over products and solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The assessment also examines trends and drivers of 5G\nRAN markets. The constantly increasing data speed demanded by mobile users is a\nmajor driver for telecom operators to improve service experiences and avoid\nuser churn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The extraordinary network capabilities of 5G will\nbecome an essential foundation for promoting Digital Transformation across\nvertical industries, which will in return drive the further commercial adoption\nof 5G networks. Fixed wireless broadband in homes and enterprises will also\nbecome typical use cases as we advance further into the 5G era.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" GlobalData, a world-renowned data analytics and consulting company for the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry, has published its latest analysis of 5G competitiveness in the second half of 2019.
