Fighting the epidemic with science and technology, shouldering the mission, overcoming the difficulties together

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on people's lives and work around the world, and has had a huge impact on the global economy. ICT technology can play a huge role in all aspects of the fight against the pandemic. Guo Ping said: "As an ICT company, we have the responsibility to use technology to fight the pandemic with our customers and partners, help operators and corporate customers, and contribute to local society through product solutions. Based on the experience of the first-mover regions, we have summarized nine scenario solutions that use ICT technology to support the fight against the pandemic, including hospital network construction, remote consultation, online education, government and corporate resumption of work and production, etc., to contribute our experience and strength to epidemic prevention and control, resumption of work and production, etc. around the world."

5G deployment has come to an end. The next stage focuses on: 5 “machines” synergy, focusing on business success, and releasing 5G dividends

As of July, the number of 5G users worldwide has exceeded 90 million. Guo Ping pointed out: "The global 5G deployment has come to an end. The focus of the next stage is to develop industry applications and release the dividends of 5G networks."

The commercial success of 5G is not just about connectivity. Strategic technologies such as 5G, computing, cloud, and AI have historically come together to promote each other and bring about five industry "opportunities" in connectivity, AI, cloud, computing, and industry applications. Guo Ping emphasized: "Huawei will make full use of its capabilities in these strategic technologies according to different needs, focus on scenario-based solutions, fully unleash the dividends of 5G, and help Huawei's customers and partners achieve commercial success."

To truly achieve 5G commercial success, the industry needs to work together. Only by unifying industry standards and building an ecosystem can we better achieve scale replication. Guo Ping said: "In the future, Huawei will vigorously build the capabilities of enabling partners, collaborate with partners to innovate, and pool the company's strength to promote the prosperity and growth of partners."

Focusing on the present and looking to the future, we will build networks accurately and maximize network value

Guo Ping pointed out that in light of the current global economic situation, operators should focus on the present, look to the future, build networks accurately, and maximize network value. He made three suggestions:

First, we should focus on experience, spend money where it counts, and maximize the value of the existing network.

Second, make full use of the existing 4G and FTTx networks, and coordinate and accurately plan them with the newly built 5G networks;

Third, 5G network deployment will prioritize hot spots and coverage of key industry applications to fully unleash the benefits of 5G networks.

The conference has set up multi-language channels in Chinese, English, Spanish, French, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, etc. for the world, attracting thousands of guests from more than 80 countries to participate online and reach a broad global consensus on ICT enabling the new economy.
