Vice President of Huawei's 5G Product Line,
emphasized the significance of this latest
project: "5G distributed Massive MIMO
fulfills diverse deployment requirements,"
he said. "Its application in New Tianjin
Steel Group demonstrates that Massive
MIMO can ensure high uplink and low
latency for industrial services across 5G
macro, pole, and indoor products. Huawei
will work with customers and partners to
make 5G accessible to all manufacturers
and facilitate the adoption of smart, digital
