What are the highlights of MWC2024?

The communications industry has ushered in another annual global technology “feast”. From February 26 to 29, 2024, the Mobile World Congress (MWC), the world's largest and most influential mobile communications conference, was held at the Fira Convention Center on Gran Via in Barcelona. The theme of this conference is "Future First", which means that MWC has embarked on the path of integrated development. It is no longer mobile first or digital first, but future first. MWC2024 will bring you a feast of tomorrow's technology.

The four-day conference centered around six themes: "Beyond 5G, Connecting Everything Intelligently, Humanizing AI, Digital Intelligent Manufacturing, Subverting Rules, and Digital Gene". It attracted global technology companies from more than 200 countries and regions and more than 100,000 attendees. These topics will be presented on 17 stages and 260 sessions, with 1,100 guest speakers. MWC has become a truly grand event for the global information and communications industry.

At MWC 2024, 5G is still the protagonist of this year's conference. 5G-related content includes 5G commercialization and investment realization, 5G-Advanced, 5G FWA, cloud computing and edge computing, wireless private network, eSIM, non-terrestrial network and satellite communications wait. Among them, 5G-Advanced has become a hot topic. At the current 5G Business Success Summit, Li Qiang, general manager of China Mobile’s Planning Department, said that China Mobile will start building a 5G-A business model this year, improve 5G-A infrastructure, promote 5G-A application scenarios, and strengthen 5G-A Industrial ecology, striving to achieve full commercial use of 5G-A by the end of 2026. Huawei demonstrated a full range of 5.5G product solutions in all scenarios, including 5G-A, F5G-A, Net5.5G, etc., and jointly held a conference with China Unicom with the theme of "Computing Network as the Foundation, Intelligent Leading the Future" At the innovation results conference, 5G-A related innovative cooperation results were released to jointly build the differentiated advantages of 5G-A. ZTE launched its first 800GE/400GE deterministic router and the industry's largest capacity microwave IDU to achieve extremely efficient backhaul, providing support for smooth evolution towards 5G-A.

In addition to 5G-A, AI has also become a highlight of this conference. The AI large model technology that will explode in 2023 is profoundly affecting the development of the mobile communications industry. At this year's MWC, there were many discussions about how AI can be expanded around related fields and technology selection. Yang Jie, Chairman of China Mobile, clearly mentioned in his keynote speech at the conference that "embrace the 'AI+' era and create a new future together." Yang Jie pointed out that with the significant progress of general artificial intelligence represented by large language models, AI will help thousands of people An auxiliary means for improving quality and efficiency in various industries has been upgraded to indispensable infrastructure and core capabilities to support economic and social transformation, bringing important opportunities for the new generation of information technology to be deeply integrated into all aspects of economic and social fields and promote productivity changes. Intel demonstrated its "AI Everywhere" strategy at MWC 2024, which will launch a series of AI network innovations, edge artificial intelligence platforms and the latest Intel Core Ultra processors, and integrate artificial intelligence into personal computer technology.

In addition to these highlights, Chinese elements are also a major feature of this conference. There are more than 300 Chinese companies participating in this conference. In addition to regular visitors such as China Mobile, Huawei, ZTE, and Honor, China Telecom, YOFC, and Alipay are also participating for the first time this year. These Chinese companies have brought digital solutions including 5G, Internet of Things, cloud services, smart terminals and other digital solutions to showcase China's successful digital experience to the world. In short, the outstanding performance of Chinese elements at MWC 2024 demonstrates China's ICT industry and technological leadership.
