MESSAGE FROM HUAWEI EMT
Operators hope to gain new revenue streams
through developing all-IP broadband services
while enhancing protability through optimizing
competitive cost structures. Meanwhile, in many
emerging markets, billions of people are still unable
to access basic communication services. Operators
are focusing on rapid coverage of low ARPU
(Average Revenue Per User) areas. To succeed in this
new industry environment, a demonstrated reliable
equipment supply partner, capable of ensuring
future-oriented transformation and providing on-
target solutions based on deep understanding of
real world challenges, becomes essential.
Globally, regionally, and nationally, Huawei
has proved to be such a partner. Providing
critical support for operators in this age of all-IP
convergence, we have established comprehensive
strengths in all essential elds, from xed and
mobile network to continuous data communication
technological innovation. Furthermore, we
continuously introduce on-target and highly
competitive products and solutions designed to
enhance operators’ protability and Total Value of
Ownership (TVO). Universally, Huawei is committed
to cooperating with industry chain partners to
build a winning business ecosystem with operators
at the core to ensure long-term competitiveness
for all parties.
In retrospect, we truly understand your continued
success is at the heart of our sustained growth.
Going forward, Huawei will continue to advocate
a corporate culture of dedication, and encourage
employees to devote themselves to creating long-
term value for customers through consistent hard
work and innovation. Working together, we will
all succeed in enriching life through optimizing
communications across the world.

Message from Huawei EMT
Dear Colleagues:
In 2007, Huawei achieved global contract sales
of USD16 billion or a 45% year-on-year increase,
of which 72% came from international markets.
Huawei achieved growth of more than 150% in
developed markets such as Europe, the United
States and Japan, while maintaining strong growth
momentum in emerging markets including the
Asia-Pacic region, Latin America, the Middle
East and North Africa. Backed by several years
of steady growth, Huawei has now become an
undisputed industry leader. For this success, we
gratefully credit our customers, our partners and
our employees. Thank you all for your long-term
trust and continuous support.
The world, as well as the information industry
itself is becoming increasingly atter as a result of
fast evolving information technologies. Blurring
initial borders, telecom networks, the Internet,
digital media and consumer electronics industry
are rapidly converging in the same direction. This
trend exposes the conventional telecom industry to
unprecedented challenges and forces operators to
reconsider and transform their business operating
models in order to maintain their position in the
industry chain.
All-IP based FMC (Fixed Mobile Convergence) has
become the consensus among most operators as
the solution for continued transformation. All-IP
architecture and convergence across every network
layer will help operators simplify network structure,
save transmission and operating costs and enable
a wide variety of innovative applications. End users
will be able to enjoy consistent communication
experiences anytime, anywhere via any terminal.
In developed markets, more and more convergence-
based services are marketed every month.
