22 Huawei Investment & Holding Co., Ltd. 2014 Annual Report
Wireless Networks
The construction of carrier-operated mobile broadband
networks really took off in 2014, enabling us to
consolidate our presence in the global wireless network
market. With our thorough knowledge of technologies,
the forward-looking analysis of network trends, and
precise user behavior analysis, we continued to meet
customer needs, enlarge the industry "pie", and steer
industry development.
With large-scale worldwide LTE deployment, we steadily
expanded our presence in the global LTE market, having
also commercially deployed 174 LTE networks and 132
EPC networks for carriers. LTE networks constructed
by Huawei now serve approximately half of all LTE
subscribers around the world. In China, we have become
the most important strategic partner of China Mobile,
China Telecom, and China Unicom in the area of LTE
construction.
We maintained our leadership position in the UMTS/
HSPA+ market and deployed a total of 304 commercial
UMTS networks worldwide, accounting for 53% of
the world's total. Out of these, 123 were upgraded to
42 Mbit/s Dual Carrier HSPA+ networks. During the
development of 700 MHz, 450 MHz, and 3.5 GHz,
Huawei partnered with carriers, device and chip makers,
and research institutes to establish industry alliances
that promote the healthy and sustainable development
of the entire mobile industry. Huawei proposed the first
4.5G solution for smooth LTE evolution, which raised
network speed and connections and shortened latency.
The solution is expected to be commercially deployed
in 2016.
According to statistics from 3GPP, we have submitted
665 accepted proposals to 3GPP LTE core standards since
2010, accounting for 25% of the world's total, making
Huawei the industry leader in this field. We currently
hold key positions ranging from chairperson and deputy
chairperson to board member and workgroup leader in
over 100 standards organizations (such as 3GPP, ESTI,
IEEE, and ITU-T).
Mobile connectivity has shattered the limits of time and
space and is changing the way people work and live.
New operating models have been created for traditional
industries. Mobile office, mobile shopping, and mobile
payments have become part of everyday life. Mobile
IoT will be the next step in the evolution of mobile
broadband. 5G is not just the next-generation mobile
communications standard after 4G; it also represents the
basic framework for the future digital world. Huawei has
developed global partnerships with multiple research
institutes, universities, and carriers, and plans to start
to deploy commercial 5G networks in 2020.
In November 2014, Huawei successfully held its Global
Mobile Broadband Forum in Shanghai. More than 600
representatives from major carriers, industry organizations,
industry partners, and Internet service providers from around
the world gathered in Shanghai. They discussed a number
of topics ranging from the construction and operation of
the best LTE networks and 5G definitions to new business
opportunities and IoT, and explored how to create the future
of MBB.
