14 Business Highlights in 2013
Business Highlights in 2013
Enhancing resource integration worldwide
We set up the Financial Risk Control Center
(FRCC) in London to manage global financial
risks and ensure that our financial operations
remain efficient, secure, and standard-compliant.
Our European Logistics Center was put into
official operation in Hungary, covering countries
throughout Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East,
and Africa.
Leading 5G research and innovation
As a major facilitator of 5G projects initiated by
the European Union and a founding member of
the 5G Innovation Centre (5GIC) in the UK, we
released a 5G white paper, proactively constructed
a global 5G ecosystem, and carried out joint
research in close collaboration with more than
20 universities worldwide. We played an active
role in contributing to the development of future
wireless technologies, industry standards, and the
industry chain.
Enabling large-scale commercial use of 400G
routers
Our commercial 400G router solution was
recognized by 49 customers and put into
large-scale commercial use. We were the first to
launch a 1T router line card for backbone routers,
a super-large-capacity 40T WDM prototype, and a
new AOSN architecture.
Maintaining our global leading position in LTE
We remained the leader in commercial LTE
deployment worldwide. Our solutions have been
deployed in more than 100 capital cities and nine
financial centers.
Changing the future with agile networks
We launched the world’s first service- and user
experience-centric agile network architecture,
along with the first-of-its-kind agile switch S12700.
These offerings are ideal for such new applications
as cloud computing, Bring Your Own Device
(BYOD), Software-Defined Networking (SDN),
Internet of Things (IoT), multi-service support, and
Big Data.
Enhancing brand competitiveness of smart devices
By adhering to a consumer-centric approach
and a “Make it Possible” brand proposition,
we continued to focus on a quality strategy.
Our flagship device, the Ascend P6, achieved
extraordinary results in terms of both brand
awareness and profit. Historical breakthroughs
were made in our smartphone business, and we
were ranked among the top three globally. Global
brand awareness of our mobile phones saw an
annual increase of 110%.
Building service value
Huawei is committed to increasing service
competitiveness. The capabilities of our service
solutions and worldwide delivery organizations
are continuing to advance, enabling us to deliver
uniformly high-quality services on a global scale,
tailored to local needs. The HUAWEI SmartCare®
CEM solution has further extended our leadership
in the telecom CEM area through scaled delivery of
verifiable business value and constant innovation.
We have worked with the TM Forum (TMF) to
develop a CEM metrics system, becoming a
leading player in the development of industry
CEM standards. Our Managed Services have
outperformed the market throughout the year.
Huawei has become an industry-leading managed
service provider (MSP) with strong business growth.
In addition, we have steadily grown our consulting
and system integration services and developed key
capabilities in end-to-end network planning and
evolution services.
