As we all know, the theme and content of each communication exhibition carefully created by telecom equipment manufacturers are aimed at the main needs and development pain points of operators now and in the future. This time, Huawei added "openness" and "road" on the basis of the theme of "building a fully connected world" last year, highlighting the importance of "openness and user experience".
Most notably, at this exhibition, Huawei made innovation breakthroughs in six new areas on the basis of ultra-wideband basic network, and summarized and launched the "1+6" strategy. For the industry, this theme is very novel, which is very different from the themes displayed by other equipment manufacturers.
It is reported that "1" in "1+6" is defined as an ultra-wideband basic network, including wireless and fixed networks. The "6" new field includes future network evolution represented by NFV/SDN, IT infrastructure represented by cloud, video and DC/IT services, and business enabling platform based on IT PaaS including BES (Business Enabling Suite) and big data.
IT can be seen that the "1+6" strategy involves the transformation of networks, services and capabilities, conforms to the development trend of operators from CT to IT, and its IT content has greatly increased. Of course, the strategy is not formulated out of thin air, but based on Huawei's successful ICT practice and rich experience in helping operators transform, which reflects Huawei's operator BG China's profound understanding of industry development.
Huawei helps operators win in the present and hopes to help operators win in the future through the strategy of "1+6".
So, why did Huawei put forward the strategy of "1+6"? What is the meaning and practice of each number in this strategy? Under the background of many challenges in the development of telecom industry, can it help operators realize business transformation? In this regard, the reporter interviewed Yue Kun, director of the marketing and solutions department of Huawei's China operator.
As we all know, the industrial revolution has gone through the stages of mechanization, electrification and automation, and now it has entered the intelligent stage driven by ICT technology. "Intelligence" has been injected into hundreds of billions of connected devices, covering everything from production to life. 5G, cloud computing, Internet of Things, big data, etc. They are all ICT core infrastructure and technical capabilities that support the intelligent industrial revolution.
The road of ICT transformation in line with the trend has been proved to be feasible, and Huawei has also achieved a faster growth rate. In the first half of 20 15, Huawei's annual sales reached175.9 billion RMB, of which the revenue in China in the first half was about 79 billion RMB. In China's operator market, the growth mainly comes from the fields of LTE construction, all-optical network construction and ICT transformation, which drives the continuous growth of China's full connectivity index.
"At this communication exhibition, Huawei released the'1+6' strategy with the theme of' Open Road to a Better Connected World' to show Huawei's latest practices and achievements in the field of ICT transformation. In the next step, Huawei will continue to work with domestic operators to deploy future-oriented strategic transformation and build a better fully connected world. " Yue Kun, director of marketing and solutions department of Huawei's China operator, said he was optimistic about the future development of the operator.
Road experience promotes operators to rebuild their competitiveness.
With the rapid development of the Internet industry and the proposal and implementation of the national "internet plus" action plan, the national "innovation-driven" policy dividend has become increasingly prominent, and the demand for high-speed Internet has increased rapidly. The information economy represented by "internet plus" has a huge development space, which also brings new growth points for the development of operators-enjoying more digital dividends brought by applications such as cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things and smart home.
Let's imagine what it will be like in 2025. There are 4 billion new Internet users, more than 65.438+million people in 27 cities, and 8 billion smart phones are in use. The number of connections will reach100 billion, and each person will consume 1.7GB of data every day, and mobile payment will reach 3 trillion US dollars ... The future will be a better fully connected world, and the future of the fully connected world will profoundly affect everyone.
At the same time, in the era of the Internet of Everything, the user experience has changed from an independent application experience to an integrated experience in which the digital world and the physical world interact and merge. ROADS has become a new user experience standard, namely real-time, on-demand, all-online, DIY and social sharing.
In this context, Huawei has set the theme of this Beijing Communication Exhibition as "The Open Road to a Better Connected World". Yue Kun introduced that Open ROADS emphasizes the characteristics of openness and open source. In fact, Huawei is emphasizing such an open concept, allowing operators and Huawei to transform from ct to IT.
In addition, the traditional business of operators is more obviously challenged by OTT business, and the problem of "incremental increase without income" of their own business has not been solved. How to realize these road experiences? How to deal with business challenges? This requires operators to complete the transformation of infrastructure support as soon as possible.
Specifically, these opportunities and challenges require operators to transform their information systems from support systems to business systems, and deeply integrate them with their main business, so as to further improve the production efficiency of enterprises, the accurate matching of customer needs and the utilization of resources in a large range.
Building ICT capability is the basis of infrastructure transformation of operators, which is Huawei's advantage. Some people may not know that Huawei is not a novice in the field of cloud computing. As early as 2008, cloud computing began to be deployed, and the "Yun Fan Plan" was launched on 20 10, officially entering the big IT market.
Yue Kun told reporters that Huawei has successfully completed its own ICT transformation, built its own complete IT capabilities, and injected IT technology ideas into the CT field. IT is precisely because of the active investment in the IT field in the past eight years that Huawei has the ability to play a more important role in the infrastructure transformation of current operators, and it also helps Huawei to open the distance with other equipment vendors.
"As a member of equipment manufacturers in the communication industry chain, Huawei has been studying how to help operators transform. Since last year, a relatively mature concept has gradually formed, that is, the concept of "1+6". Yue Kun summarized the reasons for launching the "1+6" strategy.
