Huawei unveils its GUIDE business model and innovative solutions centered on digitalization and carbon neutrality for the future of ICT at MWC2022 in Barcelona. At an online media roundtable on Monday, the world’s biggest provider of ICT infrastructure and smart gadgets vowed to enable the green and sustainable future of the Asia Pacific region’s digital economy.
According to projections, more than half of global GDP will be digitalized by 2022. As the global digital economy accelerates, demand for digital products and services has outpaced predictions. According to Huawei’s Rotating Chairman Guo Ping, since Shannon’s theorem and the von Neumann architecture continue to meet significant bottlenecks, the industry must investigate new theories and architectures to alter the technological paradigm in order to achieve digital sustainability.
Huawei has maintained the philosophy of “making technology and nature coexist,” and has continued to invest in lowering carbon emissions, boosting the use of renewable energy, fostering the circular economy, and protecting nature with technology. Huawei is dedicated to combining digital technology and power electronics in order to accelerate the energy revolution, accelerate energy digitalization, enable industrial upgrading in hundreds of sectors, and become a carbon emission reduction facilitator.
Huawei intends to help operators get digital and intelligent, as well as generate new revenue growth, by developing synergies between IT and CT, cloud and edge, and cloud and networks. In Asia Pacific, for example, Huawei’s OneStorage solution assisted one operator in reducing TCO by 30%.
Guo on carbon neutrality said: “The digital economy is determined by connectivity density and computer power, but it must also be sustainable. So we need to think about reducing carbon.”
Huawei’s current approach is “More Bits, Less Watts.” Huawei has pledged to make its devices 2.7 times more energy efficient by achieving advances in theories, materials, and algorithms. The third-generation Massive MIMO solutions from Huawei completely employ multi-antenna technology to enhance energy efficiency by 30%.
The company will invest more in clean energy generation, electric transportation, and smart energy storage to help the Asia Pacific region achieve its goals of reducing carbon emissions, promoting renewable energy, and creating a circular economy, according to Jay Chen, Vice President of Huawei Asia Pacific. These innovations enable the ICT industry to help other industries lower their carbon footprints.
According to AlphaBeta, a Singapore-based strategic economic consultancy that works with governments, firms, investors, and other organizations, a technology-driven economy might help mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic and recover the country’s economic losses.
According to the paper, if fully exploited by 2030, the country can nurture a digital economy of PHP 5 trillion (101 million US dollars) by 2030. This equates to 27 percent of the country’s GDP in 2020.
“In Asia Pacific, for Asia Pacific’ is our commitment. At Huawei, we are working closely with carriers and partners from around the world to explore solutions that help make life better, businesses smarter, and society more inclusive. We’d also love to share how our ICT technology is helping make the world a greener, more sustainable place. Together, we can light up the future,” said Jay Chen.
To support the Asia Pacific digital ecosystem, Huawei announced in 2021 that it will invest $50 million over the next five years to develop 500,000 digital talents for Asia Pacific, as well as USD 100 million over three years to cultivate the startup ecosystem in the region, including the Philippines.
MWC22 Barcelona takes place in Barcelona, Spain, from February 28 to March 3. Huawei exhibits its products and solutions in Fira Gran Via Hall 1 at booth 1H50. We delve into subjects like as industry trends, GUIDE to the Future, and green development with global operators, industry professionals, and opinion leaders to imagine the future of digital networks.
