Chinese network equipment provider Huawei has announced products to support development of industrial digital twin systems. The company characterises its approach as encompassing intelligent interactions, intelligent connectivity, intelligent applications, and intelligent hub.

According to the company, its new all-scenario intelligent connectivity solutions will provide ubiquitous gigabit and low latency connectivity for intelligent interaction devices, and apply AI to achieve deterministic network experience and hyper-automated O&M.

In terms of networks, these solutions will provide Intelligent Twins with campus, data centre, WAN, and security networks.

To support these developments, Huawei will continue enhancing its 5G intelligent connectivity capabilities in terms of uplink bandwidth, latency, and location accuracy. In the smart manufacturing domain, Huawei is using its Super Uplink technology to provide gigabit uplink speeds for HD video uploads. For scenarios that require remote operation and control, such as ports, Huawei’s 5G intelligent connectivity technology has introduced features such as pre-scheduling and mini-slot to reduce latency to 20ms and replace 90% of manual labour with automated operations.
