IoT Ecosystem

GLocal partnership between large global companies and local SMEs

SINGAPORE, May 24, 2017 – Huawei Technologies shares its vision for the
Internet-of-Things (IoT) with over 200 attendees at the inaugural Huawei IoT
Ecosystem Forum, held in conjunction with CommunicAsia2017. The Forum showcased
successful industry partnerships in the areas of Public Utilities, Smart Home,
Connected Car, Smart City and Healthcare to accelerate the implementation of
IoT industry applications in Asia Pacific.

By 2025, Huawei is projecting that more than
100 billion connections worldwide will come “live”. Low Power Wide Area (LPWA)
networks such as Narrow Band-IoT (NB-IoT) running on licensed spectrum will
represent approximately 70 percent of cellular IoT connections. For instance,
current NB-IoT is already powering industry applications such as asset
tracking, agriculture and parking. While the massive number of connections is
expected to enable significant productivity gains for companies and
individuals, IoT will need the support of the entire ecosystem to reach its
full potential.

Lim Chee Siong, Chief Strategy and Marketing
Officer of Huawei Southern Pacific region, highlighted in his opening speech,
“Huawei will support the IoT ecosystem by focusing on three areas: (1) building
wireless networks, enterprise IoT gateways and home IoT routers; (2) providing
a cloud-based IoT connection management platform, which realizes secured and reliable
IoT connections; (3) and innovating IoT chipsets, with built-in LiteOS, to make
communication and connection in the IoT environment with ease.

“We will work to develop a cohesive IoT
ecosystem, which all partners and telcos can leverage as they address the IoT
needs of different vertical industries.

“Huawei strives to build more connections to
help telcos generate more revenue and enterprises to achieve greater
operational efficiency.”

To drive innovation and glocalisation of
technology services in Singapore, Huawei announced its partnership with i5Lab
with NUS Enterprise in November 2016 to accelerate the growth of IoT startups
in Singapore. The collaboration aims to cater to the industry’s needs for
incubation of innovative ideas, training, research support, funding, testing
and certification in the region.

Jiang Wang Cheng, President of IoT solutions,
Huawei, said, “We believe that IoT is a ‘GLocal’ ecosystem where telcos, local
enterprises and global vendors like Huawei leverage on each other’s knowledge
and capabilities to build a vibrant ecosystem. Huawei is glad to recommend our
partners in different industries and establish channels of communication
between operators and vertical industries. We call for more partners from
across different verticals to join us to build viable IoT solutions.”

Huawei is currently working with more than 40
partners on smart meter, smart light and connected car to offer IoT device,
network, service platform, applications and system integration. In March
2017, Huawei announced plans to invest USD 1 billion in developer ecosystem
worldwide.
