Huawei Unveils LampSite X to Unleash Indoor Digital Potential
At
the Global Mobile Broadband Forum (MBBF) 2023, Yang Chaobin, Board Member and
President of ICT Products & Solutions of Huawei, launched LampSite X, a
next-generation 5G indoor digital product solution that aims to help operators
open up new business space and move towards digital intelligence.
Yang remarked: "LampSite X brings unrivaled 5.5G capabilities
indoors for the first time to comprehensively upgrade indoor digitalization:
Featuring the leanest design, simplest deployment, and lowest energy
consumption, the solution achieves 10 Gbps experience and offers diverse
capabilities, meeting consumer demands for a more premium indoor experience and
realizing more powerful digital productivity across various industries."
Fast-growing 5G is driving the explosive growth of mobile traffic, 80%
of which is generated indoors. In high-density indoor scenarios that involve
heavy foot traffic, such as shopping malls, airports, railway stations, and stadiums,
the traffic density at hotspots is more than 100 times the average traffic
density. Such scenarios require upgraded digital indoor capabilities. In
addition, while going digital, industries require networks to provide new and
stronger capabilities, such as high-precision positioning and ultra-high
uplink, to support smart manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics.
Indoor digitalization has become one of the core capabilities requiring
improvement in the 5G and 5.5G eras. Indoor digitalization faces a number of
challenges: First, as all bands evolve to 5G, they need to be integrated and
coordinated to achieve simplified design and deployment; second, as indoor
traffic is unevenly distributed throughout the day, dynamic energy saving based
on traffic load is necessary to help operators reduce energy costs; third, with
industries going digital, more capabilities must be developed to meet the
requirements of more scenarios.
LampSite X can meet various indoor digitalization requirements. This
series of products can be as small as 1 L in volume and 1 kg in weight, which
is the smallest and lightest in the industry, allowing flexible and easy
deployment in any scenario. Despite its small size, a LampSite X box boasts big
power. A single box supports all bands, all radio access technologies (RATs),
and all wideband and allows networks to achieve ultra-high performance,
ultra-diverse capabilities, and ultra-low energy usage.
LampSite X is the only product in the industry that combines mmWave and
sub-6 GHz to achieve a peak throughput of over 10 Gbps, as well as the first to
bring 5.5G 10 Gbps indoors. The product employs Huawei's unique Distributed
Massive MIMO technology to achieve 10 Gbps single-user experience everywhere
and provide 10 Gbps multi-user experience for everyone.
To effectively meet the connectivity requirements of various industries,
LampSite X provides wide-ranging capabilities, including 10 Gbps ultra-high
uplink, high-precision positioning up to sub-meter levels, low latency up to
milliseconds, and IoT. It uses Huawei's unique "0 Bit 0 Watt"
solution to achieve service-based power adjustment, super dormancy during
off-peak hours with power consumption of less than 1 W, and on-demand wakeup in
just seconds. This around-the-clock dynamic energy saving maximizes energy
efficiency.
LampSite X comprehensively upgrades digital indoor capabilities to
provide all-scenario 5.5G applications for consumers and connect more scenarios
of more industries.
In toC scenarios, LampSite X's new capabilities will bring about an
upgraded consumer experience and business model. For example, at Hong
Kong's 10 Gbps business districts, supported by Hong Kong Telecom, these
capabilities increase traffic by more than 20% and bring new toB and toC
business models, which drive operators to shift from providing network
capabilities to providing converged services.
In toB scenarios, LampSite X's multi-dimensional digital indoor
capabilities will bring greater efficiency to fully connected factories. For
example, at Midea's smart factories, these capabilities improve the efficiency
of many processes, spanning production, quality inspection, logistics, and
warehousing, to the point where a product can be produced in just seven
seconds, cutting production time in half.
Yang concluded by stating that "LampSite X opens up many new
digital opportunities to us. We should seize these opportunities to go beyond
outdoors and upgrade indoor digitalization to support operators as they look to
develop diverse business applications and stride into a new digital era."
