SINGAPORE, Dec. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei has been honored with the 5G Innovation of the Year, Fixed Broadband Project of the Year and Wireless Network Project of the Year awards at the 2015 Telecom Asia Readers' Choice & Innovation Awards. The awards ceremony was held on December 2nd at the Marina Mandarin Hotel.
Winning the 5G Innovation of the Year was Huawei's 5G Unified Air Interface (UAI) which was revealed at Mobile World Congress 2015. Key technology components of 5G new air interface included a new waveform technology Filtered-OFDM (Filtered-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), a new multiple access technology SCMA (Sparse Code Multiple Access), a new channel code Polar Code, the full-duplex mode and massive MIMO (Multiple-antenna) technology, and etc. The UAI design can effectively improve spectral efficiency, increase connectivity, and reduce latency, thus facilitating the deployment of customized scenarios applied to the Internet-of-Things (IoT) and for high bandwidth-consuming scenarios such as virtual reality.
The Wireless Network Project of the Year award was won by Cloudified VoLTE Solution and Mobile Network Architecture, together for Huawei and China Mobile. Leading innovation in the VoLTE space, Huawei VoLTE solution in leading technology, easy deployment, and new services beyond voice will enhance the user communication experience and enable provision of services such as crystal-clear voice and real-time HD video communication services which can generate more fresh revenue for operators. Furthermore, operators can expand services and grow users by opening their network capabilities and building a cross-industry ecosystem, making for innovation of their business model.
The third award, giving Huawei the 'Hat Trick', was the Fixed Broadband Project of the Year. It went to the world's first 10Gbps Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) access, a partnership between HKT and Huawei. Through Huawei XG-PON (also known as 10G-GPON) solution, users in Hong Kong can enjoy unparalleled broadband experience in the era of 10Gbps broadband access service. In addition to being ideal for high quality multimedia content, the high-speed Internet connection will facilitate instant sharing or information storage through cloud-based networks.
