Huawei: Building a Better Smart City by Leading New ICT

The most complicated task that smart cities confront today is integrating and linking information and processes, as well as providing a platform for cutting-edge technology, operations, and administration. Huawei’s Smart City Solutions perceive, analyse, and provide informed choices that help residents live in a better environment. Using a cutting-edge combination of cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI), the newest information and communications technology (ICT) helps create real-time situation reporting and analysis.

Indeed, one of the few companies in the market to deliver a comprehensive set of, Huawei ICT solutions with ‘cloud-pipe-device’ symbiosis, leading the way in the convergence of digital and physical worlds, having established more than 160 Smart Cities in over 100 countries and regions. Huawei’s solution platform remains open — for both applications and devices — allowing partners and solution providers to extend their connectivity ecosystem. Liang Hua, Chairman of Huawei, says “the digital economy has become a new engine of global economic growth, and Huawei is committed to making a positive impact through digital technology innovation. Huawei launched the TECH4ALL Digital Inclusion Initiative, which works with governments, enterprises, and non-profit organizations to bridge the digital divide and provide universal and undifferentiated digital services for all.”

Controlling city activities and operations has a number of tangible benefits, ranging from accelerating disaster response and facilitating cross-agency collaboration to simulating city operations — in terms of facilitating intelligent decision-making using big data analytics — and assisting with unified city development planning. Huawei’s Intelligent Operation Center Solution is a cloud-based ICT infrastructure with a lot of power. Huawei can provide a comprehensive set of services, including urban management data support and manpower services, cross-agency applications, and planning for municipal operations, in collaboration with expert partners. IT infrastructure and data resources such as computing, storage, and network are centrally allocated and managed by an eGovernment cloud platform. Monitoring and alarms, collective handling and command of crises, simulation and unified planning, ‘open city’ information and data services, and cyber security management all benefit from real-time city operations status displays. Hua adds, “Huawei focuses on providing ICT infrastructure and smart devices. We are committed to bringing digital to every person, home and organization for a fully connected, intelligent world. We use innovative technologies to enable green development, support environmental protection, and drive broader digital inclusion. We want to do our part to promote social progress and make the world a better place. That’s how we drive sustainability at Huawei.”

For many years, the State of Jalisco, one of Mexico’s most populated and economically dynamic states, has planned to boost network access construction in order to stimulate economic growth. Huawei employed DWDM technology, which has been effectively adopted by telecom carriers, to satisfy this need. This feature made the most of line bandwidth and provided access to a variety of services. The OTN network effectively solved the poor performance of the original network and ensured bandwidth as the transmission base of communication. The worry-free service was made possible via the flexible service access method.The administration of the Jalisco network operation benefited from high equipment utilisation, effective management systems, organisation and maintenance, and simplified data processing.

By 2050, metropolitan regions will be home to 68 percent of the world’s population. Huawei is also assisting in the delivery of digital to every person, house, and business in order to create a fully connected, intelligent world as cities progress toward intelligent management. Hua concludes, “Huawei is committed to working with its global partners for shared success. We will use innovative technologies to support environmental protection, drive broader digital inclusion, and promote greater sustainability. Together, we will build a fully connected, intelligent world.”
