Huawei calls for building greener 5G networks

The mobile industry needs to keep pursuing innovations in power supply, distribution, use, and management, and build greener 5G networks with higher performance and lower energy consumption, to adapt to the rapid growth of data traffic.

Huawei’s Executive Director Ryan Ding came up with the remark while delivering his keynote speech titled “Green 5G Networks for a Low-Carbon Future,” on the second day of Global Mobile Broadband Forum 2021 in Dubai, said a press release.

He noted that in countries where 5G is developing faster, operators who have invested heavily in 5G have seen remarkable returns. But he stressed that operators would realise business value only when the 5G user penetration rate is high enough.

When the 5G user penetration rate reaches a threshold of 20 per cent, Ryan said, rapid development of 5G will follow.
