4Huawei Investment & Holding Co., Ltd. 2014 Annual Report
In our carrier business, our 4G equipment was widely
deployed, and we constructed 186 commercial networks
globally using our 400G core routers in 2014. We have
worked with 20 leading carriers around the world on
joint innovation for NFV/SDN integration services. More
carriers now recognize Huawei as a trusted strategic
partner for their business transformation.
In our enterprise business, we have continued to
implement our strategy of "being integrated" through
open collaboration. We have worked with strategic
partners including SAP and Accenture on joint
innovation for cloud computing and Big Data. We have
built over 480 data centers around the world, including
160 cloud data centers, while our agile networks and
S12700 series agile switches now serve hundreds of
top-tier industry customers.
In our consumer business, we have developed the
Huawei and Honor brands. We strive to make the
best phones under our premium product strategy. Our
smartphones have become market leaders in multiple
countries. The market share of Huawei's flagship
smartphones has increased significantly, with over 4
million Ascend P7 units shipped to well over 100
countries and regions. The Ascend Mate7 has been the
talk of the high-end market, with demand exceeding
supply. More than 20 million smartphones under the
Honor brand have been sold through online channels
worldwide, an amazing increase of nearly 30-fold in
just one year.
Continuing to improve in 2015 and becoming
customers' best partner in the era of ICT convergence
Standing on the threshold of 2015, we can almost touch
the future. ICT technologies, notably broadband, cloud
computing, Big Data, and IoT, are becoming the engine
that drives transformations in many industries.
Industry 4.0, smart transportation, telemedicine, online
education, and smart cities are all examples of how
traditional industries are relying on ICT for their next
round of evolution. ICT infrastructure has shifted from
a support system that helps improve efficiency to a
production system that drives value creation, and has
become a new factor of production, alongside land,
labor, and capital.
We predict that by 2025, there will be more than
100 billion connections worldwide, creating a market
of unprecedented scale. How to store and process,
transmit and distribute, acquire and present this massive
amount of data presents enormous challenges as well
as strategic opportunities for Huawei. We must seize
these opportunities and face these challenges head on.
