Chinese telecoms giant Huawei doesn’t believe the current telecoms infrastructure is sufficient to meet the needs of the Metaverse, adding that 5G and 6G networks might be able to.
The comments came from Abhinav Purohit, Huawei’s Middle East region chief expert on business & strategy consulting, who published a three-part blog series on Dec. 20 that focused on the potential of the metaverse sector and how telcos fit into the picture.
Describing what the metaverse is or what its update will look like, Purohit outlined that a “metaverse is a collective virtual shared space” that will “allow geographically distant participants to have realistic, spatially aware experiences that seamlessly integrate virtual content with.” those of a user connect physical world.”
He added that the notion of an open metaverse is closely linked to the Web3 movement, as built-in economies are made possible by “digital currencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs)”.
To realize such a vision, download speeds, streaming quality, mobile devices, and Metaverse hardware, among other things, will likely need rapid improvements to enable a smoothly functioning virtual sphere, he said.
Purohit said that providing a fully polished and immersive experience would require a variety of technical advances, commenting:
“Delivering such an experience requires innovation in areas such as hybrid local and remote real-time rendering, video compression, edge computing, and cross-layer visibility.”
He also believes there needs to be changes in cellular standards, network optimizations, and improved latency between devices and cellular networks.
Purohit said that latency (the responsiveness of a network), symmetric bandwidth (the speed at which data is transmitted), and quality of experience (network throughput) are the key issues currently holding Metaverse networks back.
He finally claims that the large-scale rollout of “5G networks will dramatically improve bandwidth while reducing network contention and latency, while 6G will increase speeds by another order of magnitude.”
To put 5G network speeds into context compared to a fixed wireless broadband scenario, 5G can reportedly reach speeds of 1,000 megabytes per second (MBps). These speeds make it much faster than the US national average internet speeds of 119.03 Mbps according to High Speed Internet Data.

Outside the metaverse, there appears to be a significant push to make 5G fully operational worldwide, with data from the Global Mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) showing that 501 operators in 153 countries and territories have invested in 5G as of August 2022.
Of those 501 operators, GSA data also shows that 222 of them have already rolled out 5G wireless services in 89 countries and territories. However, since 5G has not yet been fully rolled out and accepted as a mobile standard worldwide, it remains to be seen whether a full-fledged Metaverse can be supported with it.
