HONOR 5G Experience Lab: a roadmap for solutions that support all-access dual-mode 5G network

The HONOR 5G Experience Lab comprises a Communications Protocol Test Lab and features multiple zones that depict the future of 5G in everyday scenarios. In the Communication Protocol Test Lab, visitors will learn about the various global network standards that demonstrate the seamless connections between these networks. Furthermore, the lab can simulate the frequency ranges and bandwidths of carriers in different countries, allowing visitors to experience the seamless network transitions as if they are on international roaming.

HONOR to win the 5G race with its “All-in-5G” technology

HONOR is at the forefront of the 5G race as it continues to leverage cutting-edge technologies to create innovative products. The development of HONOR Vera30 Series, the company’s first smartphone to support both NSA (non-standalone network) and SA (standalone network) architectures simultaneously to ensure all access, started a decade ago in 2009, when 4G was made commercially available. Here is a snapshot of its timeline:

  • May 2017: Huawei announced the release of 15 NAS (Non-Access-Stratum) for pre-commercial trial
  • May 2018: Huawei completed the first 5G phone call
  • January 2019: Huawei launched Balong 5000, the 5G multi-mode chipset
  • March 2019: Huawei completed the first 5G video call in 4K
  • 6 September 2019: Huawei launched Kirin 990, world’s first flagship 5G SoC chipset

Huawei has invested USD4 billion to innovation in the past decade. Today, Huawei accounts for 20% of all 5G patents globally, making it the leader in 5G capabilities for commercial use. It is the only manufacturer that is equipped with every component of 5G technology, including 5G core networks (integral network), 5G chips, and 5G terminals. Its integrated and comprehensive upstream and downstream technologies are set to bring leading 5G experiences to Huawei and HONOR smartphones.
