8Huawei Investment & Holding Co., Ltd. 2014 Annual Report
Business Highlights in 2014
Becoming one of the world leaders in smartphones
As part of our premium product strategy, we introduced dual brands in
our consumer business—Huawei and Honor. Our smartphones became
market leaders in multiple countries. The market share of Huawei flagship
smartphones increased significantly, with over 4 million Ascend P7 units
shipped to well over 100 countries and regions. The Ascend Mate7 was
the talk of the high-end market, and demand exceeded supply. More than
20 million smartphones under the Honor brand were sold through online
channels worldwide in the first year alone.
Driving service innovation in the cloud era
We launched SD-DC2, our Service-driven Distributed Cloud Data Center solution;
the OceanStor converged storage system, the first of its kind in the industry;
the AR511, our IoT-oriented agile gateway; and our Cloud Fabric Data Center
Network and Agile Branch solutions. Each of these offerings helps our customers
build a technological foundation for business innovation in the cloud era.
Advancing commercial use of NFV/SDN
We continued to consolidate SoftCOM, our future-oriented telecom network
architecture, by deeply integrating the concepts of cloud computing, SDN, and
NFV. We developed solutions that will reshape telecom networks in four areas:
services, operations, network functions, and network architecture. We helped
carriers fulfill their comprehensive business transformation and network evolution
agendas. We worked with more than 20 carriers in over 60 joint innovation
projects on NFV/SDN.
Enabling broader connectivity
With the accelerated rollout of 4G mobile ultra-broadband networks, we commercially
deployed 174 LTE networks and 132 EPC networks worldwide. These networks
reinforced our presence in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Bengaluru in India, and Stockholm
in Sweden. In China, we built up a business presence in every provincial capital. We
constructed 186 commercial networks worldwide powered by our 400G core routers
to help customers across the globe take up the challenges presented by massive data
traffic.
