NTT DOCOMO, Japan's largest mobile operator and Huawei jointly demonstrated the first live-demo of 5G CPE application in Tokyo recently.
In the demo, holographic video calls were realized over an end to end network that contains Huawei's 5G mmWave CPEs.
Huawei also provided 5G core network and 5G base stations to form an end to end 5G network. Visitors use a Microsoft HoloLens helmet to connect to the 5G network and make holographic video calls with their offsite friends. An immersive experience is created in this demo, with clear voice calls and smooth video footage free of freezing.
Huawei claims that the CPE used is the industry's first 5G mmWave CPE product to help operators to explore 5G FWA services which exceeds an indoor data rate of about 2 Gbit/s, far above that over fixed networks. The CPE allows for a stable performance in bandwidth allocation and transmission latency, delivering a superb experience of holographic video call services over end to end 5G networks.
With a high integration, this CPE is now the industry's smallest 5G mmWave CPE product, and its indoor unit is of about 3 Liters in size, suiting for indoor settings. This shows that 5G mmWave CPE products already have commercial engineering capability, added Huawei.

The 5G terminal industry chain is a core link in the 5G E2E industry chain. The first successful live-demo on 5G mmWave CPEs is a groundbreaking progress in our joint effort with NTT DOCOMO to build an end to end industry chain.
