The 5.5G network, also known as 5G-Advance approved by the 3GPP standards, is an improvement to the 5G network which contains features that will transform the telecommunications field.

Being ten times faster than the 5G network, it will support 10 Gbps downlink, 1 Gbps uplink, and 100 billion connections.

The applications that it supports will achieve more than improved connectivity, it will support the Internet of Things in a way that has not been done in the past.

Let's look at features of 5.5G for digital life and development.

10 Gbps user experience. 5.5G will provide a 10 Gbps experience through MIMO technology that boasts larger bandwidth, higher spectrum efficiency, and higher-order modulation. 

Diversify computing. 5.5G technology will refine computing architectures increasing computing efficiency by 10-fold through chip engineering and full peer-to-peer interconnection architecture.

Lift existing limits in storage architecture. Future storage performance will be improved by 10-fold through data-centric hardware and software architecture and diversified data application acceleration engines.

Advance L4 highly autonomous driving networks (ADNs).  It will accelerate breakthroughs in ADN technology, enabling an even faster connection between transport systems, and offer new application options and closed-loop management of service advancing the development of autonomous cars.

Business scope goes beyond connectivity. 5.5G will result in a wealth of new scenarios and applications.The 5.5G core networks will redefine architectures, and foundational technologies to enable new service scenarios, such as private networks, industrial field networks, and new calling.

Developments in green technology and system-level innovation. The innovative solutions for green sites, green networks and green operations will empower operators to increase network capacity and cut energy consumption per bit in the 5.5G era.
