5G+Cloud+AI: Huawei and operators work together to build new ICT infrastructure, unleash the benefits of 5G, and enable a wide range of industries

[Shenzhen, China, July 30, 2020] Today, at the Cloud and Computing Forum of the Better World Summit 2020, Huawei said that developing industry applications and releasing 5G dividends have become the common aspirations of operators. Huawei will work with global operators to build a new ICT infrastructure through 5G+Cloud+AI to enable thousands of industries. At the same time, China Telecom shared the latest application practices of 5G+Cloud+AI, as well as how to form differentiated overall service capabilities around cloud-network integration.

Shi Jilin, President of Huawei's International Cloud and Computing Business Unit, said in a speech titled "5G+Cloud+AI, Building New ICT Infrastructure": "Industry customers have a growing demand for cloud-based and intelligent office and production systems. Operators need to build or collaborate with others to introduce cloud and AI capabilities as soon as possible, to make their own 5G operations and business capabilities ready, and to achieve 5G commercial success."

Hu Zhiqiang, General Manager of the Cloud Computing Branch of China Telecom Co., Ltd., said: "China Telecom has cooperated with Huawei for a long time. In the field of 5G+Cloud+AI, there have been many successful cases, achieving win-win results with industry customers. Cloud-network integration is the core of the new information infrastructure. In the process of business expansion, Tianyi Cloud has been building capabilities around the main line of "cloud-network integration". In terms of industry services, Tianyi Cloud has seen the opportunities brought by 5G. 5G's high bandwidth, slicing and other features can create more new business scenarios, and these scenarios require cloud to carry, need stronger network features to cooperate, and need more advanced services such as artificial intelligence."

Huawei believes that the commercial success of 5G requires not only 5G networks but also 5G operational capabilities and 5G business capabilities.

In terms of 5G operational capabilities, 5G has brought new challenges to the operational support platform and its own business platform. On the one hand, the number and capacity of call records have increased significantly, and the complexity of network and business management has increased significantly; on the other hand, the processing capabilities required for media and other businesses have increased significantly. At the same time, the operational support platform needs to match the business processes of different industries. Platforms that mainly serve consumers need to be upgraded to cover all scenarios for consumers and corporate customers. Huawei has collaboratively built architectural innovation capabilities through cloud services and cloud resource pools to achieve flexible scheduling and sharing of resources on a larger scale.

In terms of 5G business capabilities, 5G enables digital transformation in all walks of life, which requires end-to-end solutions. In addition to connectivity, it is also necessary to comprehensively consider the demands of industry customers for cloud-based and intelligent office and production systems. Operators need to build comprehensive capabilities of connectivity, cloud, and AI by building their own or working with partners to promote the commercial success of 5G. The design of future business models also needs to be diversified. A good business model can help operators better aggregate ecosystems and partners to jointly expand the market space.

Huawei is willing to work with operators to build new ICT infrastructure through innovative technologies and architectures such as 5G, cloud, and AI, enhance 5G operational capabilities and 5G business capabilities, unleash the value of 5G, and accelerate the digital transformation and intelligent upgrade of various industries.

In the cloud field, Huawei Cloud has launched a cooperation plan with operators. Through in-depth cooperation, new technologies, new capabilities, and new applications on the cloud can be delivered to customers more quickly and efficiently, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of operators in serving enterprises' digital transformation. In addition, Huawei Cloud explores the implementation of 5G, cloud, and AI in the industry by sharing the ecosystem of the cloud market.

In the field of AI, Huawei provides full-stack, full-scenario AI solutions, including underlying hardware, operator development tools, AI application development framework, development platform, and application enablement. Operators can build AI capabilities based on Huawei Atlas series products or directly use the rich AI services on Huawei Cloud.

l In the field of IT infrastructure , Huawei's general computing server FusionServer Pro is equipped with three acceleration components and five intelligent technologies to provide operators with a faster, more stable and more intelligent system-level architecture to meet the needs of exponential growth in computing power. With innovative FlashLink algorithms and SmartMatrix architecture, Huawei's OceanStor storage Dorado series, OceanStor storage Pacific series, and FusionCube help operators cope with challenges in different data scenarios and promote the upgrade of data infrastructure in all business scenarios.
