Our products and services embrace radio access networks, All-IP broadband,
core network, software, professional services and terminals. With all major
products ranking among the top three in their category, we are able to serve
customers with complete and competitive telecom solutions.
Radio Access Network
The Radio Access Network is a critical link in providing a high-
quality user experience for mobile operators. The daunting
array of environmental conditions, increasing usage and new
standards can quickly impact operators' protability. Huawei
employs customer-oriented technological innovation to
support operators with environmentally friendly and reliable
solutions which support convergence and are designed to
evolve to meet new requirements.
Huawei launched the 4th generation BTS, which features
multiple radio access technologies (RATs) convergence,
multiple carriers on radio carrier, green, and AII-IP. Huawei
initiates the convergent single RAN network, where all
the RATs can be applied to a type of BTS. Our singleRAN
solution effectively simplies choices for technological and
network evolutions, greatly reducing the frequency of site
visits and costs related to equipment room construction,
transmission and ancillaries.
Huawei has established a strong lead in the mobile
broadband areas, helping operators reduce TCO while
constructing protable mobile broadband networks.

Customer Quote
"By 2009 all TransTeleCom's DWDM backbones will be
updated to 40G transfer per wavelength. It is a natural
stage of backbone development, which is necessary to
satisfy the constantly growing demand for bandwidth.
Thanks to Huawei's advanced DWDM equipment, 40G
channels can be activated quickly without restructuring the
existing network."
