Zou Zhilei, president of Carrier Network BG of Huawei, said on Tuesday that FMC has become an important trend but there are still many problems.
“The mobile network has made rapid progress these years but it should be noted that 80% of the mobile data traffic emerges indoor, and the amount of the traffic data on the transmission network increases rapidly at an annual rate of 50%. The various devices and the end users’ multiple demands for access have kept the fixed network and the mobile network close , and FMC has become an important trend”, he noted that in his speech at the ITU Telecom World 2015 & Broader Way Forum of Huawei.
But there are still many problems with FMC to be solved, such as the differences of the experiences and the business model between FBB and MBB. In addition, it’s difficult to construct the fixed broadband network and the ROI (Return On Investment) is long; and the mobile spectrums will become rare resources gradually.
Therefore£¬the realization of FMC depends on the encouragement and support of governments and telecom regulators worldwide, and the development of some areas needs to be promoted and improved by the governments, such as the non-communication infrastructure coordination, the right-of-way openness, the releasing of spectrum resources and the convenient use of the spectrum planning and etc. Some remote areas need the capital subsidy to realize the broadband coverage, aiming to improve the basic local environment.
“The spectrums are the motor which pushes the national economic development. Additional spectrums can not only accelerate the popularization of personal and household broadband, but also support the development of IoT and smart city, therefore promote the innovation of the entire ICT. We call on the reasonable regulation on the spectrum tariff by providing additional spectrums,” Zou said.
During the ITU Telecom World 2015 in Budapest, Hungary, Huawei and ITU have jointly held the Broader Way Forum on the subject of “Accelerating ICT transformation, Enriching digital life”. About 200 government officals, regulators , executives of the telecom operators and industry experts from 35 countries and areas attended the forum.
Huawei held the first Broader Way Forum in Barcelona, Spain on Feb 27, 2012. Since then, the Broader Way Forum appeared at ITU Telecom World, which donated by Huawei initially and held by the countries afterwards one after another in all continents, enhancing its fame and the influence as the world’s leading ICT service provider.
