Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei outlined its roadmap to accelerate Information and Communications Technology (ICT) transformation to enable more people in Asia Pacific to reap the benefits of ICT and move towards a better connected world at the Asia ICT Innovation Forum 2016 held here on Tuesday.
"Today, building a better connected world has become the common aspiration of our entire industry. We are committed to the value propositions of ubiquitous broadband, agile innovation, and inspired experience and fully connecting people to people, people to things, and things to things," said Zhou Jianjun, President of Carrier Business, Huawei Southern Pacific.
Nowadays, consumers are increasingly expecting rich and inspiring experiences when interacting with content. For example, virtual reality (VR) has been applied in many areas, including gaming, shopping, tourism, and training. To deliver a perfect virtual reality experience, VR needs to process about 5.2 gigabytes of data every second and have a latency of less than 20 milliseconds. To that end, ubiquitous ultra-broadband networks with zero wait time and inspired experiences are needed, which will drive constant changes and innovation of networks and provide tremendous opportunities for industry development.
Historically, technological transformations have disrupted and driven social progress and industry development. A better connected world, which was included in Huawei's roadmap, will be a wellspring of opportunities for industries, according to representatives at the forum. These will include the 100-billion-dollar video industry, the one-trillion-dollar market for cloud transformation in enterprise IT, and the Internet of Things (IoT) industry whose user base is expected to grow by a factor of 10. Huawei said it will work in the areas of enhancing connectivity, improving the user experience, expanding access under all scenarios, and helping vertical industries go digital to drive the ICT industry forward.
"Successful ICT transformation requires joint efforts from governments and all industry players. Huawei adheres to a pipe strategy that focuses on ICT infrastructure and smart devices, and is dedicated to building an ecosystem characterized by openness, collaboration, and shared success, in order to accelerate digital transformation. Huawei remains true to investing for the future especially in research and development to create new and innovative technologies that help our customers achieve continued business successes," said Zhou.
The Asia ICT Innovation Forum is held in conjunction with CommunicAsia2016, the largest ICT trade event in the region, where Huawei, together with 50 partners showcase latest innovations and solutions. The event was attended by over 500 representatives and professionals across the world.
