Visionary Insights from Eric Xu
Eric Xu, Vice Chairman and Rotating President of Huawei, delivered a keynote address discussing pathways to foster growth in the telecommunications sector. He shared critical observations regarding the industry's current state, describing the timeframe as one of relative stability, despite challenges in finding new growth avenues.
Xu outlined
four primary growth pathways:
1. Adapting to changing user needs and meeting emerging demands with high growth potential.
2. Increasing HD video consumption through coordinated ecosystem efforts.
3. Integrating 5G technology in all vehicles to advance smart connected vehicles.
4. Introducing Fiber to the Room (FTTR) technology for micro and small enterprises to leverage AI opportunities.
"Every operator is unique," Xu concluded. "Their markets, business environments, and competitive landscapes differ. Thus, the growth pathways they explore will vary as well. We are ready to assist operators in uncovering distinct opportunities and forging strategies conducive to sustainable long-term growth."
China's Pioneering Role in 5G-A
China has established itself as a global leader in 5G-A, now available in over 300 cities nationwide. There are over 10 million 5G-A users across more than 30 provinces. Operators are searching for innovative frameworks to monetize experiences by implementing premium upgrade initiatives. Not only does 5G-A deliver ultrafast networks, but it also catalyzes intelligent transformations across diverse sectors, including smart living, transportation, and manufacturing.
Navigating AI Disruption
