Huawei Will Launch Full Set of Commercial 5.5G Network Equipment in 2024
SHANGHAI, June 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Huawei announced they will launch a complete set of commercial 5.5G network equipment in 2024 at the 5G Advanced Forum during MWC Shanghai 2023. Huawei’s Director and President of ICT Products & Solutions Yang Chaobin who made the announcement said the company intends for this launch to mark the beginning of the 5.5G era for the ICT industry.
5G deployment progressed rapidly over the past four years and is already yielding significant financial gains. Today, there are more than 260 commercial 5G networks worldwide, serving over 1.2 billion users, and there are already 115 million gigabit F5G users. With service models and content continuously evolving, breakthroughs in technologies like glasses-free 3D are creating unprecedented immersive experiences for users. However, these new services continue to require stronger 5G network capabilities. The industry has widely agreed that 5.5G will be a key milestone in 5G evolution, and that it is fast approaching.
Huawei proposed the concept of a “5.5G Era”, based on an end-to-end solution that integrates comprehensive evolved technologies including 5.5G, F5.5G, and Net5.5G. This solution would protect operators’ previous investment in 5G, while also improving network performance by 10 times. This 5.5G Era would feature 10 gigabit peak downlink speeds and gigabit peak uplink speeds to meet increasingly diverse service requirements. It would also refresh the industry vision by using new technologies like passive IoT to unlock a market of 100 billion IoT connections.
Yang explained, “With a clearly defined standardization schedule, the 5.5G Era is already poised for technological and commercial verification. In 2024, Huawei will launch a complete set of commercial 5.5G network equipment to be prepared for the commercial deployment of 5.5G. We look forward to working with all industry players to embark on the new journey towards the 5.5G era.”
As an advocate for end-to-end 5.5G solutions, Huawei has been working with multiple players across the industry on R&D and verification of key 5.5G technologies. Significant progress has been made in this verification process, specifically for extremely large antenna array (ELAA) which underpins 10 gigabit downlink, flexible spectrum access which helps realize gigabit uplink, and passive IoT which can enable 100 billion IoT connections. 50G PON is another key technology that can enable 10 gigabit speeds for F5.5G ultra-broadband networks, and is expected to be extensively used in homes, campuses, and productions in the future. Huawei has worked with over 30 operators around the world on technological verification and application pilots for these technologies.
In addition to the development of key technologies for 5.5G wireless and optical access networks, Yang announced that the company has been working on applying AI-native technologies to 5.5G core networks to continuously enhance network capabilities and availability. This would allow AI capabilities to be delivered to the very ends of networks, so that they can better serve numerous industries. Net5.5G promises 10 gigabit access, ultra-broadband transport, and microsecond-level latency over AI networks, allowing it to serve as a next-generation network foundation for industrial digitalization by providing high-quality network access.
The industry is still in its earliest stages of developing a vision for 6G, and only just beginning related research into key technologies. This is why many have turned to 5.5G as their milestone for future development. The 10-fold improvement in network capabilities in the 5.5G Era is set to enable numerous industries to unleash the productivity of digital technology.
MWC Shanghai 2023 runs from June 28 to June 30 in Shanghai, China. Huawei will showcase its products and solutions at stands E10 and E50 in Hall N1 of Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). Together with global operators, industry professionals, and opinion leaders, we dive into topics such as speeding up 5G prosperity, striding towards the 5.5G era, and intelligent digital transformation. 5.5G creates new business value in areas like connecting people, Internet of Things (IoT), and Internet of Vehicles (IoV), supporting countless industries as they move towards an intelligent world.

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BitMEX, the world’s leading crypto derivatives exchange, has announced that it continues to maintain a low on-chain Anti-Money Laundering (AML) risk profile, successfully reducing its risk exposure from 1.7% in 2019 to just 0.2% in 2024. This 88% reduction in on-chain risk exposure over the past five years is a direct result of BitMEX’s collaboration with Chainalysis, combined with substantial investments in compliance controls and advanced blockchain analytics. With its on-chain risk exposure 35% below the global average of 0.304%, BitMEX demonstrates its steadfast commitment to security and regulatory adherence, setting a new industry standard since 2019.

By integrating advanced blockchain analytics into our comprehensive risk management strategy, we have not only reduced on-chain risk exposure but also strengthened the trust our users place in us. This partnership ensures that BitMEX leads the industry in both security and regulatory adherence, giving our traders confidence in the safety of their assets.”
The BitMEX compliance framework has evolved to reflect the highest standards in the industry. Central to this transformation is its risk-based approach to threshold tuning, which integrates insights from Chainalysis’ detailed typologies and behavioural analytics. The platform’s commitment to data integrity is evidenced by periodic testing and scenario selection based on the latest threat models, ensuring that its AML programme consistently meets regulatory expectations.
“BitMEX has continuously taken an innovative and proactive approach towards enhancing their risk management strategy and prioritising consumer safety,” said Diederik Van Wersch, Regional Director, ASEAN & Hong Kong, Chainalysis. “The team has always valued a strong collaboration when working with Chainalysis, and it’s really impressive to see their investment in a skilled investigations and compliance team, and the adoption of advanced tools – which have yielded impressive results.”

Today, October 21, 2024, at the Victoria Palace, the official launch of the “Agerpres Daily News | Hold History”, initiated by ICI Bucharest and the National Press Agency AGERPRES, with the support of the Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitization. The event marked an important step in combating disinformation and promoting authentic journalism by integrating blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
The project “Agerpres Daily News | Hold History’ aims to transform authentic and verified news into unique NFTs, giving consumers the opportunity to own a piece of the most relevant moments in daily news. These NFTs, available on the ICI D|Servicesplatform, each represent a ‘time capsule’, immortalizing significant moments in national and global current affairs. NFTs are released daily in limited editions and are accompanied by photos, article snippets or digital art.
The project includes a loyalty program for NFT collectors, who can access special rewards such as digital art pieces, exclusive content, or invitations to events organized by AGERPRES. An innovative feature, “NFT-to-Vote”, is also being explored, whereby NFT holders will be able to influence future news topics. This initiative marks a new way of interacting with news, where audiences can not only consume but own and actively participate in everyday history.
Bogdan Ivan, the Minister of Research, Innovation and Digitalization, emphasized in his speech the importance of this project: “In a world dominated by digital challenges, the use of blockchain to guarantee the authenticity and truthfulness of information is essential. The launch of Adrian-Victor Vevera, the general director of ICI Bucharest, highlighted the added value of the project: “I believe that the young people present in this room are the future consumers of this program, a project that appeared as a continuation of the first collections of NFTs launched with Agerpres. We started with a necessity – validated news and ended up using blockchain technology to certify and validate the news. Other blockchain technology projects will be launched in November this year, so I invite you to stay tuned.”
Claudia-Victoria Nicolae, the general director of AGERPRES, drew attention to the importance of integrating the needs of the new generation: “It is time to adapt and innovate in order to reach young people with the quality information they need. “Agerpres Daily News | Hold History” is not only a step forward for journalism but a necessity in the digital age.”
The event was attended by students at the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Sciences of the University of Bucharest and students at the Romanian-American University, who appreciated the educational and informative potential of this initiative. The project is an essential tool in the fight against disinformation, giving citizens the opportunity to easily collect and verify authentic information.
