Huawei Unveils a New Era of Telecom Power Solutions at MWC 2025
At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, running from March 3 to 6, 2025, Huawei presented groundbreaking innovations in telecom power architecture and guidelines for constructing AI data centers. He Bo, the President of Huawei's Data Center Facility and Critical Power Product Line, unveiled the "Single SitePower" architecture designed to empower telecom operators in this energy-conscious era. This architecture is crucial for fostering energy prosumer capabilities in the telecommunications industry.
The Emergence of Single SitePower Architecture
Huawei's Single SitePower represents a new generation of power installation architecture tailored for telecom sites. It employs a three-level synergy mechanism that integrates critical power installations, wireless networks, and energy distribution networks. This innovative design establishes a bidirectional interaction of energy flows and information in a comprehensive process that encompasses energy source, network, load, and storage.
This solution strives to enhance metrics such as system energy efficiency (SEE) and power availability (PAV), while simultaneously reducing the carbon intensity of the network (NCIe). The architecture features several key attributes:
1.
Resilience: Single SitePower integrates wireless networks with critical power installations to deploy synergy across the entire power process, ensuring robust facilities.
2.
Ecology: By incorporating cutting-edge technologies like high-voltage connections, smart optimizers, intelligent algorithms, and fast shut-off devices, Huawei aims to create environmentally friendly installations that facilitate the monetization of clean energy.
3.
Reliability: The architecture emphasizes the importance of high-quality, secure lithium batteries to ensure dependable communication.
Guidelines for AI Data Center Construction: RASTM
As the demand for AI computing surges, data centers face challenges surrounding reliability, uncertainty, rapid delivery, and high energy demand. To address these issues, Huawei developed the RASTM (Reliability, Agility, Sustainability, Technology Management) guidelines for AI data center construction:
- - Reliability: With the increasing value of AI assets, the challenge of maintaining reliability has become paramount. AI data centers must implement advanced architecture and smart management practices to ensure reliability throughout their lifecycle.
- - Agility: These centers should adopt a modular structure and separate electric and mechanical functions, allowing for flexible management of uncertain demands and facilitating quick delivery of services.
- - Sustainability: Power source efficiency takes precedence, focusing on overall efficiency over individual devices and leveraging highly efficient configurations to optimize performance.
Huawei's Continued Commitment
He Bo emphasized Huawei's commitment to the convergence of digital, smart, and low-emission technologies, stating, "We support concepts of Power for AI and AI for Power by continuously investing in technological innovations to promote stronger integration and build resilient, ecological, and reliable telecom facilities."
At MWC 2025, Huawei will also actively promote the commercial deployment of 5G-Advanced, harnessing AI to reshape operator operations, infrastructure, and maintenance activities. The company is poised to collaborate closely with global operators and partners to expedite the transition into the intelligent world era.
