BARCELONA, Spain, March 1, 2023 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Huawei launched the Inclusive Connectivity 2.0 Solution at the Mobile World

Congress (MWC) 2023. The launch was part of the "Accelerating Digital

Transformation of Public Services" session, a gathering of public service

experts. The session focused on the trends in the sector's digital

transformation, looking at ways to promote economic and social development

while improving the quality of life of citizens.

Promoting Digital Inclusion with Universal Connectivity

Despite the growing access to connectivity, 400 million people around the world

still lack access to mobile broadband networks (about 5% of the population). In

low- and middle-income countries, rural residents are 33% less likely to use

mobile Internet than urban residents.

In light of this, governments around the world have launched strategies to

connect rural areas by building digital infrastructure in remote areas. The

ultimate goal is to achieve inclusive and equitable digital services, bridging

the digital gap.

Huawei's solution is crucial for countries looking to bridge the digital

divide. Andrew Zhang, Vice President of Huawei Public Sector, explained: "A

leading global provider of information communications technology, Huawei has

supported many governments in their digital transformation journey. Our

innovative solutions can help bridge the digital divide, enable inclusive

connectivity, bringing the digital world to everyone."

At MWC 2023, Huawei launched its Inclusive Connectivity 2.0 Solution, which

facilitates network construction in remote areas with complex environments. The

solution combines datacom, optical network, and wireless products, designed to

bring connectivity to rural and remote mountainous areas.

The goal behind Inclusive Connectivity 2.0 is to reduce network construction

costs and speed up roll out, driving fast and cost-effective national

informatization. It helps governments around the world improve service delivery

and improve the quality of life in hard-to-reach areas.

Accelerating the Digital Transformation of Public Services

Today, public services must be focused on people. Therefore, it is instrumental

to build the "cloud + network" infrastructure via top-level design to deliver

comprehensive digital public services to citizens and achieve interconnection

throughout.

The integrated "cloud + network" architecture enables the public sector to

easily and securely exchange data across networks and regions, offering

one-stop services for the public. At the same time, it can create a

centralized, secure, and reliable bearer environment for government departments

to connect with each other and increase their collaboration efficiency. This

ultimately achieves higher governance efficiency.

Hong-Eng Koh, Global Chief Public Services Industry Scientist of Huawei, said:

" Huawei enables our government, education and healthcare clients globally in

their digital transformation journey through our comprehensive technologies

including 5G, F5G, Cloud, Big Data and AI. We help our clients in their

national backbone, last mile connectivity, to achieve their goals in digital

society, digital economy and digital government."

Chris Baryomunsi, Minister for ICT and National Guidance in Uganda,

said："In building pervasive, intelligent digital infrastructure all over

the country, the government has diligently worked towards expanding the

nation's digitalization in a number of fields, in order to unleash the

multiplier effect of ICT on associated secondary and tertiary industries for

tremendous impact on the economy."

Huawei's mission in government and public services is to help countries and

regions "Enhancing national digital infrastructure, Accelerating public

services digital transformation ". We hope to help governments around the world

go digital.
