BARCELONA, Spain, March 1, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

During MWC Barcelona 2022, Huawei's Rotating Chairman Guo Ping spoke on the

company's plan to continue its globalization strategy and increase its

strategic investment into foundational technologies. Through this investment,

Huawei hopes to reshape the fundamental theories, architecture, and software

that underpin its industry, increase its mid-to long-term competitiveness, and

ensure the longer-term sustainability of the ICT industry.

In the keynote speech he delivered online, titled "Just Look Up, Let's Light Up

the Future," Guo focused on two major sources of both challenge and opportunity

in the world: digitalization and carbon neutrality.

Existing theories and architectures are unable to support explosive growth in

digital demand.

Forecasts show that over 50% of global GDP will be digitalized in 2022. As the

global digital economy develops rapidly, the demand for digital products and

services has exceeded expectations. Guo explained that as Shannon's theorem and

the von Neumann architecture continue hitting severe bottlenecks, the industry

must explore new theories and architectures to reshape the technological

paradigm to achieve digital sustainability.

Carbon reduction impacts the long-term vitality of the digital economy.

On carbon neutrality, Guo said, "Connectivity density and computing power

determine the strength of the digital economy, but it should also maintain

long-term vitality. So, we need to consider a new dimension, carbon reduction."

Huawei currently adheres to a "More Bits, Less Watts" strategy in this area. In

addition to improving its fundamental digital capabilities, Huawei has

committed to making its products 2.7 times more energy efficient by making

breakthroughs in areas like theories, materials, and algorithms. Through

advances like these, the ICT industry is able to help other industries reduce

their own carbon footprints. In fact, this reduction will be 10 times larger

than the carbon footprint of the ICT industry itself.

- Huawei is increasing strategic investment into foundational technologies to

reshape the technological paradigm.

Guo also said that Huawei is significantly increasing strategic investment into

foundational technologies and working with its partners to reshape the

technological paradigm in three areas: fundamental theories, architecture, and

software. This investment will gradually be reflected in the competitiveness of

the company's products, which they hope will support the long-term and

sustainable development of both the company and the ICT industry as a whole.

This investment is also notably focused on helping the company get closer to

and maybe exceed Shannon's Limit. By exploring new theories and technologies,

like next-generation MIMO and wireless AI, Huawei is able to push its

technologies ever closer to Shannon's Limit. At the same time, Huawei's

research into new theories like semantic communications will provide the

industry with guidance on new fundamental theories.

Huawei is also developing exciting new architectures. Huawei is currently

integrating photonic and electronic technologies and design peer-to-peer

architectures to solve technological challenges or technique bottlenecks.

In terms of software, Huawei is building AI-centered, full-stack software and a

new software ecosystem to meet the drastically rising demand for computing

capacity caused by explosive growth of AI.

- "Software-hardware synergies" will be the way forward.

Guo finally explained that great user experience comes from software-hardware

synergies. He used two examples to show how Huawei applies this concept to ICT

product development and technological innovation for network evolution. First,

optimized algorithms for AHR Turbos are helping MetaAAUs consume less energy

and improve performance. Second, algorithm breakthroughs in holographic optics

have enabled OXCs to achieve one-hop connections.

- Huawei is the company with the most complete suite of ICT capabilities in the

digital industry.

Over the last 10-plus years, network evolution has been a process of

introducing the latest IT practices to CT, ranging from IP, to cloud, and then

to AI today. As the company with the most complete suite of ICT capabilities in

the digital industry, Guo said that Huawei is confident it will be able to gain

a head start in the evolution towards future AI-native networks.

Closing out his speech, Guo said, "Huawei will continue its globalization

strategy, in standards, talent, supply chain, and more. Huawei is committed to

helping customers who choose it to achieve the greatest business success."

MWC22 Barcelona runs from February 28 to March 3 in Barcelona, Spain. Huawei

showcases its products and solutions at stand 1H50 in Fira Gran Via Hall 1.

Together with global operators, industry professionals, and opinion leaders, we

dive into topics such as industry trends, GUIDE to the Future, and green

development to envision the future of digital networks. For more information,
