AI is driving a new wave of technological transformation in many sectors, including wireless networks. For networks to become smarter, further innovations in wireless network infrastructure are needed. Antennas are a crucial component of wireless networks, and their digitization will play a key role in the future.

The white paper states that network intelligence and automation require building digital capabilities for remote management and multidimensional tuning of antennas.

Remote management requires antennas to be able to provide accurate and real-time information to network systems, including engineering parameters and beam shapes. This will help build comprehensive data models to support smart grids, providing all the information needed for intelligent optimization.

Multidimensional adjustment means that antenna parameters such as signal radiation directions and radiation beam shapes can be remotely adjusted in real time. This allows greater flexibility and expanded possibilities for intelligent network optimization.

The Antenna Digitization White Paper explore Huawei’s latest antenna innovations. Andy Sun, President of Huawei Antenna Business Unit, remarked: “This white paper reflects the collective vision and perspectives of our partners, industry researchers and Huawei’s own experts. It integrates our in-depth analysis and insights of the mobile antenna industry. Digitization of antennas is an inevitable basis for smart grids. Looking ahead, Huawei will continue to work with industry partners around the world to advance antenna digitization through innovation and help build even smarter wireless networks.
