At MWC2022 in Barcelona, Huawei released their GUIDE business roadmap and innovative solutions, focusing on the digitalization and carbon neutrality of future ICTs. The world’s leading provider of ICT infrastructure and smart devices pledged to empower a green and sustainable future for the Asia-Pacific digital economy during an online media roundtable on Monday.
Existing theories and architectures cannot support the explosion of digital demands.
Forecasts show that more than 50% of global GDP will be digitized by 2022. With the rapid development of the global digital economy, the demand for digital products and services has exceeded expectations. Guo Ping, Huawei’s rotating chairman, said that as Shannon’s theorem and the Von Neumann architecture continue to encounter serious bottlenecks, the industry must explore new theories and architectures, reshape the technological paradigm, and achieve sustainable digital development.
Huawei has always adhered to the concept of “coexisting technology with nature”, and has continued to invest in reducing carbon emissions, increasing the use of renewable energy, promoting a circular economy, and protecting nature with technology. Huawei is committed to integrating digital technology and power electronics, promoting the energy revolution, accelerating energy digitalization, empowering thousands of industries to upgrade, and becoming an enabler of carbon emission reduction.
Huawei hopes to use the synergy between IT and CT, cloud and edge, and cloud and network to help operators become digital and intelligent, and achieve new revenue growth. For example, in the Asia-Pacific region, Huawei’s OneStorage solution helped an operator reduce TCO by 30 percent.
Carbon reduction affects the long-term vitality of the digital economy.
Regarding carbon neutrality, Guo said: “Connection density and computing power determine the strength of the digital economy, but it should also maintain long-term vitality. Therefore, we need to consider a new dimension, carbon emission reduction.”
Huawei is currently adhering to a “more bits, less watts” strategy in this area. In addition to improving basic digital capabilities, Huawei is also committed to improving product energy efficiency by 2.7 times through breakthroughs in theory, materials, and algorithms. Huawei’s third-generation Massive MIMO products make full use of multi-antenna technology, improving energy efficiency by 30% compared to competing products.
To create a greener and more sustainable digital world, Huawei will increase investment in sustainable green solutions, using clean power generation, electric transportation, and smart energy storage to support the Asia-Pacific region’s goal of reducing carbon emissions, and promote Huawei’s Asia-Pacific Vice-President. President Chen Jie said renewable energy and contribute to the circular economy. Through these advancements, the ICT industry can help other industries reduce their own carbon footprints.
AlphaBeta, a Singapore-based strategic economic consultancy that works with governments, businesses, investors and other institutions, said their report shows that a technology-driven economy can help mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and restore the country’s economic losses.
The report states that if leverage is fully exploited by 2030, the country can nurture a digital economy that could increase its economic value by 5 trillion pesos or $101 million by 2030. This is equivalent to 27% of the country’s GDP in 2020 alone.
“In Asia Pacific, for Asia Pacific” is our commitment. At Huawei, we are working closely with operators and partners around the world to jointly explore solutions that make life better, businesses smarter, and society more inclusive. We are also happy to share how our ICT technologies are helping the world become a greener and more sustainable place. Together, we can light up the future,” Chen Jie said.
To support the digital ecosystem in Asia Pacific, Huawei in 2021 It has announced that it will invest US$50 million over the next 5 years to develop 500,000 digital talents in the Asia-Pacific region and US$100 million over three years to foster the startup ecosystem in the region, including the Philippines.
MWC22 Barcelona will be held in Barcelona, Spain from February 28th to March 3rd. Huawei is showcasing its products and solutions at Fira Gran Via, Hall 1, Booth 1H50. Together with global operators, industry professionals and opinion leaders, we have an in-depth discussion on topics such as industry trends, future guidelines, green development, and the future of digital networks.
