Huawei talked about the future of 5.5G and artificial intelligence at MBBF 2024

The Global Mobile Broadband Forum 2024 (MBBF 2024), held in Istanbul, brought together industry representatives from around the world with the theme of ‘5.5G Mobile Leads the Age of Artificial Intelligence’, focusing on groundbreaking developments in mobile communication technologies. At the event held between October 30-31, Huawei and leading mobile technology companies discussed innovative solutions that shape future mobile business models with the integration of 5.5G and artificial intelligence.

MBBF 2024, organized in Turkey in cooperation with GSMA and GTI, hosted more than a thousand industry representatives, IT managers and press members. Within the scope of joint projects carried out by Huawei with local mobile operators in Turkey, various presentations were made at the forum on the wide coverage opportunities offered by 5.5G and the innovations that artificial intelligence will bring to the mobile industry.

5.5G and artificial intelligence: The new era of the mobile world

Huawei Rotating CEO Ken Hu underlined the potential that 5.5G and artificial intelligence technologies will bring to the mobile world in his opening speech of the forum. Hu emphasized that in this new era, artificial intelligence will be effective not only in the technology sector but in all areas of daily life. Stating that mobile networks play an important role in the process of making artificial intelligence accessible to all segments of society, Hu said, “Just as we expanded telephone and internet services, mobile networks and devices will also play a leading role in this transformation.”

In his presentation, Huawei Senior Vice President Li Peng touched upon the new growth opportunities that the mobile artificial intelligence era will bring to industries. Li Peng stated that thanks to the combination of artificial intelligence with the developing mobile network infrastructure, smart services and interactions will spread rapidly and this will create serious opportunities for the mobile industry.

Among the artificial intelligence-supported solutions exhibited during the forum, many innovative products were introduced, from smart glasses to smart vehicle cockpits, from digital human interactions to real-time translation applications. Thanks to the low latency and high speed advantages offered by 5.5G, it is aimed that such innovations will find more place in daily life.

In addition, 5.5G coverage solutions developed for indoor and outdoor areas were presented to the participants with multi-dimensional innovations. These technologies, which appeal to wide areas of use, especially in industrial facilities, healthcare and urban transportation, aim to accelerate the digital transformation processes of different industries.

Contribution to the mobile ecosystem in Turkey

Turkey’s hosting at MBBF 2024 created the opportunity for local operators to present their remarkable projects. Mobile operators in Turkey shared examples of artificial intelligence-supported applications they developed with 5.5G technology, showing how the domestic ecosystem has kept up with this transformation. These projects, implemented in different areas such as smart city projects, smart health solutions and logistics, revealed that Turkey’s digital infrastructure is rapidly developing.

In this context, the 5.5G projects carried out by Huawei through local collaborations aim to increase the international competitiveness of the Turkish industry, while also taking the user experience to the next level. It is aimed for Turkey to gain an important position in the digitalization process with mobile artificial intelligence-supported solutions.

MBBF 2024 brought innovative solutions combining 5.5G and artificial intelligence to the agenda, revealing the changing dynamics in the mobile world. Industry representatives and technology leaders discussed what will change in the transition to the mobile artificial intelligence era and made strategic predictions about the future.

The widespread use of 5.5G and the integration of artificial intelligence into this infrastructure seem to accelerate the digitalization processes in different sectors while taking the user experience to the next level. It is thought that these new technology trends will provide a significant competitive advantage in the coming years, especially for developing countries such as Türkiye.

In summary, MBBF 2024 introduced the innovations that 5.5G and artificial intelligence will bring to the mobile world, allowing industry representatives to discover new opportunities. This event, led by Huawei and other technology leaders, offered important clues about how the mobile future is being shaped today.
