Huawei wins 8 awards from GSMA

Islamabad Huawei received 8 major awards from GSMA during the Global Mobile (GLOMO) awards ceremony at the 2018 Mobile World Congress (MWC). Among them was the Outstanding Contribution to the Mobile Industry Award, which recognises Huawei for decades of advocating new technology, building out the digital ecosystem, and social responsibility.

GSMA presents Huawei with the 2018 Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Mobile Industry As a responsible corporate citizen, Huawei is committed to eliminating the digital divide, protecting the environment, and ensuring the stable and secure operation of networks around the world. It has helped connect places as remote as Mount Everest and the Arctic Circle, and has done its part to keep critical telecom infrastructure up and running during major natural disasters, including the massive earthquake that struck Sichuan, and the Japanese tsunami in Thoku. With its RuralStar solution, Huawei is connecting the unconnected, helping remote villages in Africa link up with the rest of the world. With TubeStar, the company is helping operators reduce their carbon footprint and cut network deployment costs by combining towers, cabinets, and equipment rooms in an all-in-one microsite design. With end-to-end NB-IoT solutions for smart cities, it is making city life more convenient and safe by providing a platform for open innovation and supporting applications like smart parking and smart fire hydrants.

Ultimately, innovation at Huawei is driven by customer needs. Straddling the fence between technological innovation and business evolution, Huawei focuses on the practical challenges that its customers face throughout the digital transformation process. Over the years, Huawei has developed a strong portfolio of solutions that help its customers overcome these challenges and achieve business success. This is where Huawei's true value lies.

Huawei's award-winning solutions include CloudAIR, which applies a cloud approach to wireless networks, decoupling air interface resources and radio access technologies to help operators get the most out of their spectrum; Huawei's ultra-wide band family of RF products, which helps operators increase network capacity and more effectively deploy networks across multiple spectrum frequencies; and its 5G core solution, based on cloud native and service-based architecture centered around micro-services, which opens up new doors to innovation in services, operations, and experience for the entire industry.

John Hoffman, CEO of GSMA, commended Huawei on its decades of contribution. The Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Mobile Industry, he noted, along with the 7 additional Global Mobile Awards that Huawei received over the past two days, were given in recognition of Huawei's outstanding accomplishments, which have changed the industry and continue to shine bright at this year's MWC.
