In cooperation with the Bavarian State Government, the city of Munich, Technische Universitat Munchen (TUM) and M-Net, Huawei is building the 5G Vertical Industry Accelerator (5G VIA), a large experimental system for testing promising 5G communication concepts.

Turkcell signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Huawei to cooperate on the development of 4.5G and 5G technology.

First ever Proof of Concept for the applicability of SDN to wireless Transport Networks through open protocols. This progammable capabilities permit to adapt transport resources to the dynamic nature of 5G services. Multi-layer capabilities were tested, involving IP and MW.

Second Proof of Concept for the applicability of SDN to wireless Transport Networks through open protocols. This progammable capabilities permit to adapt transport resources to the dynamic nature of 5G services. Information model defined and tested. Standardized as ONF TR-532 in December 2016.

20 Gbps downlink throughputs demonstrated by Vodafone UK using the E band (70-80 GHz) with Huawei equipment in an outdoor scenario. This throughput leverages a single user MIMO solution using multipath to augment throughputs. Another test with a Multi User MIMO solution provided 10 Gbps on a longer range

Vodafone Germany and Huawei performed 5G tests combining low band and high band to test mobility in dense urban city scenarios. Using the C band, 1.5km cell coverage was demonstrated as well as a 5Gbps throughput for a single user.

Telefonica and Huawei achieved 5G tests, using ‘user centric and no cell (UCNC) RAN architecture’. Results showed latency decreasing by 95% compared with ‘state-of the-art’ LTE. Meanwhile, Huawei and Telefonica also achieved the demonstration of mmWave Multi-User MIMO technology based on 5G New Radio (NR) and Massive MIMO TDD technology. 

Proximus successfully tested 5G technology with the provider Huawei. During the tests, speeds of up to 70 Gbps were reached over millimetre wave at 73GHz.

BT and Huawei initiated a partnership to explore various aspects of 5G, including network architecture, interface between devices and base stations, network slicing, M2M communications in Internet of Things (IoT) applications, and security technologies.

Deutsche Telekom and Huawei have announced the demonstration of 5G technology with the addition of end-to-end (E2E) autonomous network slicing to support diversified 5G services.
