Expanding Horizons of Telecom

Huawei has shared at its Eighth Annual Global Analyst Summit its vision for the telecommunications industry over the next 10 years and its strategy to capture the opportunities presented by these trends.  With the increasing convergence of Information Technology (IT) and Communications Technology (CT), Huawei has put in place a three-pronged strategy of "Cloud-Pipe-Device" to provide comprehensive solutions to telecommunications carriers, enterprises and customers, to expand the horizons of telecommunications industry and to contribute to the development and rise of the Information Communications Technology (ICT) industry. 

Richard Yu, Chief Marketing Officer of Huawei, said, "Globalization has truly taken down all borders and a wholly-digitized society has come to the forefront where applications of telecoms are at the core not just for communications, but across all industries. This trend presents significant opportunities for Huawei and the telecommunications industry as a whole." 

Many leading Indian telecom analysts from Gartner, Tonse telecom consulting, Analysis Mason and others are attending this important technology briefing in Shanghai and understanding the new technology roadmap being unveiled by Huawei. This assumes enormous significance as Indian telecom sector has started to embrace the 3G technology and is getting ready for rollouts in LTE and Wimax technologies in this year. 

According to Yangkaijun, CEO Huawei India, "The Indian telecom industry has already witnessed tremendous growth and in the next decade it is poised for significant achievements. Huawei reaffirms its commitment to India by providing the latest cutting-edge technology to Indian partners in 2G, 3G, Enterprise, Terminals and in the LTE domain."

In the last 20 years, technological evolution and the transformation to a digital society have driven the rapid growth of the telecommunications industry. However, the traditional telecommunications industry now stands at a crossroads and is redefining itself where its focus is shifting from voice to data, from communications pipe to content development, from human-to-human communications to machine-to-machine communications, and from CT to ICT. All these changes will create tremendous opportunities for the growth of the telecommunications industry.
