During the Mobile World Congress 2024 in Barcelona, Huawei launched the world’s first 5.5G Intelligent Core Network at its product solution launch event. The tech conglomerate’s President of Huawei Cloud Core Network Product Line, George Gao unveiled its major next-generation product to the world.
5G is finally seeing consistent push and its research and developments are bearing fruits with more global expansion as well as new products and solutions. Huawei, a global leader in the 5G is assuming a prominent role. Having already played a pivotal role in 5G proliferation with its gears, the company is also pitching the 5.5G era by example.
The 5.5G intelligent core network comprises network and service intelligence, and O&M intelligence. 5G is touted to be a key driver for business growth. The 5.5G intelligent core network only elevates that. Huawei says that the advanced 5G network improves business value and potential.

New Calling profitability potential
Huawei says that its New Calling has been implemented commercially to serve 50 million users in 31 provinces in China and is authenticated in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific and will see its commercialization in 2024.
According to George, the New Calling-Advanced boasts intelligence and data channel-based interaction capabilities. It allows mobile network operators to “reconstruct their service layout”. Likewise, the company also unveiled the Multi-modal Communication Function (MCF) which allows users to control digital avatars through voice during calls, serving a more personalized calling experience. The feature lets enterprises customize their avatar as an enterprise ambassador to advertise their branding.
Addressing traffic monetization challenges on MBB networks
Huawei identifies three challenges to traffic monetization on MBB networks- inability to assess user experience, no dynamic optimization, and no closed-loop operations. To address these obstacles, Huawei has launched an Intelligent Personalized Experience (IPE) solution, to help operators add experience privileges to service packages and monetize various experiences.
The user plane on the core network processes one service flow with one vCPU. But when 2K or 4K HD video and live streaming comes in, microbursts and elephant flows frequently occur. As a result, vCPU will become overloaded and cause packet loss. To remedy this, Huawei brings forth the Intelligent UDG. It’s the industry’s first Intelligent UDG product that can deliver up to 10 Gbps superior experiences.

O&M Intelligence Benefits
The Digital Assistant & Digital Expert (DAE) is backed by the multi-modal large model lowers O&M workload and betters O&M efficiency. It shapes cloud-based O&M from “experts+tools” to intelligence-centric “DAE+manual assistance”. Huawei says that DAE helps automatically process 80% of trouble tickets. DAE also enables intent-driven O&M, avoiding manual decision-making. It would take five years to develop experts in a single domain, but thanks to the multi-modal large model, it’s a matter of just a few weeks.
Next, Huawei is collaborating with operators and partners around the world to bring new tech and innovation to the world. With 5G business viability, Huawei says that it’s committed to creating an industry ecosystem and a new era for intelligent digital transformation.
