Developing Telecoms: 5.5G (5G-A) Has Come to Reality

At GSMA’s M360 Asia Pacific Summit in Seoul, Dr Philip Song, Chief Marketing Officer at Huawei CNBG, stated that standardized 5.5G (5G-A) technology is “turning uncertainty into certainty”, as reported by Developing Telecoms in a recent article.

Ultra-broadband spectrum resources are the basis for a 10-gigabit downlink in 5.5G (5G-A), but the main challenge is coverage, explained Song. Extremely large antenna array (ELAA) technology, which has been adopted by Huawei for both the 6GHz and mmWave spectrum bands, is capable of improving coverage while delivering a 10 Gigabit experience in the downlink.

For uplink, Huawei‘s enhanced solutions decouple the uplink and downlink to realize multi-band convergence and high uplink rates.

Additionally, Passive IoT in 5.5G (5G-A) is expected to unlock a market of 100 billion connections by combining 5.5G (5G-A) Passive IoT technology, cellular networks, and passive tags. Its advantages include wide coverage, low cost, and positioning support for different scenarios, including smart warehousing, digital production management, logistics, and retail.

Higher demands are placed on networks by automated control and manufacturing automation than by the remote control of machines, which requires latencies to be less than 10ms and reliability to be in the order of five or even six nines. To meet these requirements, innovative technologies like dual fed and selective receiving and deterministic uplink and downlink scheduling have been applied to realize high-deterministic network connectivity that supports high concurrency, said Song.

Song also stated that, with the first 3GPP standard for 5.5G (5G-A), Release 18, expected to be frozen in the first half of 2024, another milestone will be reached; and “Huawei is ready to work with global carriers and ecosystem partners in the drive towards the 5.5G (5G-A) era…so creating a thriving ecosystem to help more consumers and industries go digital.”

Ant International Research Highlights How Readable AI Memories Can Unlock More Personalised, Privacy-conscious Consumer Experiences2.11.2026 09:52:00 CET | Press release

Human sales and customer representatives have institutional memories to serve clients: their preferences and choices. How can we build a memory mechanism for AI services to create similarly personalised experiences? Ant International’s research on this subject recently received the Senior Area Chair (SAC) Highlight Award from the Best Paper Committee at EMNLP 2026, a leading global AI conference. Why do we need “readable AI memory”? In this paper titled 'Text as a universal interface for transferable personalisation', we look into one fact: until now, AI memory of a user has usually been generated and stored as dense numerical code only the original system can interpret. Two long-standing problems with that: First, today's user profiles are "black boxes" — opaque code locked inside a single app, so activity in one service teaches nothing to another, and every product has to re-learn you from scratch. Second, profiles are welded to the model that created them, so they don't transfer whe
