—Striding Towards the Intelligent World White Paper Release

The Striding Towards the Intelligent World Summit at HUAWEI CONNECT 2022 
successfully concluded today. David Wang, Huawei's Executive Director of the 
Board and Chairman of ICT Infrastructure Managing Board delivered a keynote 
speech titled Embracing the 5.5G Era: Striding Towards the Intelligent World at 
this summit.

In this speech, he stressed that 5.5G is a key milestone on our path to an 
intelligent world and released Huawei's latest series of white papers on the 
intelligent world. Wang also called upon the ICT industry to coordinate efforts 
around eight facets of this vision. By working together to further define and 
refine the industry vision and standards for the 5.5G era, the industry will 
move ever faster towards the 5.5G era and the intelligent world.

In the future, individuals, households, and industries will have higher 
requirements for digital infrastructure.

For individuals, immersive services like XR and holographic communication are 
maturing, and connectivity experience is set to increase from 1 Gbit/s to 10 
Gbit/s. Mobile DOU will surge from today's 15 GB to 100 GB. Requirements for 
latency and ubiquitous connectivity will also increase.

For households, the demands generated by advanced services like 24K 3D VR games 
and holographic education and meetings are creating a full-fiber, 10 Gbit/s era.

For industries, digital transformation has now entered the fast lane. 
Industrial-grade applications such as smart manufacturing and power grid 
dispatching are raising diversified requirements for connections, quality, and 
sensing, while also triggering explosive growth in demand for computing power 
and storage.

Wang noted, "We must continue to work hard if we hope to reach an intelligent 
world. The 5.5G era is an important milestone on this path – one we cannot 
miss. In the 5.5G era, we will need ubiquitous 10 Gbit/s experience; 
intelligent and high-quality compute scheduling; highly autonomous L4 networks; 
Cloud Native 2.0 services for enterprises, and a 10-fold increase of computing 
effectiveness, storage, and infrastructure energy efficiency."

He went on to highlight Huawei's belief that it will need the support of 
customers, ecosystem partners, industry organizations, and academic 
institutions to continue evolving and reinforcing digital infrastructure, 
thereby accelerating the advent of the 5.5G era and intelligent world.

More specifically, he said that industry players would have to come together to:

1.Promote the allocation of more spectrum to accelerate industry development 
and continue exploring new 5.5G use cases with greater commercial value;
2.Define the technical paths forward and standards for F5.5G;
3.Quickly reach a consensus on evolution towards Net5.5G;
4.Define a profile for L4/L5 autonomous networks and promote unified standards;
5.Build an open and diversified computing industry for shared success and 
redefine the computing architecture;
6.Define a storage architecture that meets diversified data processing 
requirements;
7.Build a cloud foundation for the intelligent world and cultivate a stronger 
cloud service industry ecosystem; and finally
8.Adopt a unified NCIe system to help industry save energy and reduce emissions 
with innovative ICT technologies and solutions.

Wang also released Huawei's latest series of white papers, which are titled 
Striding Towards the Intelligent World. Guided by the next steps relating to 
the eight facets mentioned above, these white papers explore both the 
opportunities and challenges that will be presented to major ICT infrastructure 
domains by emerging business needs and technological developments. The white 
papers also outline key trends in these domains and specify actions that the 
company recommends the industry should take before 2025.

Huawei's Chief Strategy Architect Dang Wenshuan then took the stage to discuss 
the contents of the white papers in more detail. He emphasized two concepts the 
company would like to promote as we move towards 5.5G and eventually the 
intelligent world:

1."ICT for Intelligence" which focuses on constant innovation and evolution in 
different ICT domains to improve key capabilities, and
2."Intelligence for ICT" which focuses on the intelligent and architectural 
innovation within the ICT industry itself that will be needed to address 
challenges like increasingly complex O&M, ensuring user experience in 
diversified service scenarios, and green development. Addressing these 
challenges will help us make the most of existing and coming core ICT 
capabilities and lead us to the intelligent world faster.
