About Huawei

Huawei provides information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices. Huawei was founded in 1987. Huawei states its vision and mission as bringing digital to every person, home and organization for a fully connected, intelligent world.[3]

Maintaining multiple networks for 2G, 3G, and 4G drove up operators' costs, both CAPEX and OPEX. Huawei introduced SingleRAN in response to that situation. SingleRAN enables 2G, 3G, and 4G radio access technologies to be processed within the same equipment rack. The GSM multi-carrier technology is the key in the SingleRAN solution. In 2008, Huawei installed the first SingleRAN network for O2, a subsidiary of Telefónica, in Germany, enabling O2 to handle both GSM and UMTS on a single network.[4]

Huawei also offers RuralStar. The back-pack sized RuralStar solution can be mounted on regular wooden or steel poles. RuralStar applies wireless backhaul technology that does not require line-of-sight to link to other nodes. A RuralStar node can be built in less than seven days. Since 2017, RuralStar has been deployed in more than 110 networks globally. In rural Nigeria, Huawei teamed up with local carrier MTN to bring connectivity to the remote village of Tobolo. In another case, Huawei connected its RuralStar to a neighboring donor site in just two days.

The OASIS project operates under WWF Italy's 10-year ReNature Italy initiative and brings together the acoustics technologies and conservation knowledge of NGO Rainforest Connection, local WWF rangers, Huawei's cloud and ModelArts AI technology, and the University of Pavia. Huawei developed the SmartBus project to provide children and adolescents aged between 10 and 15 with the information they need to surf the Internet safely. As of the end of September 2022, the Huawei SmartBus had visited more than 300 different schools in eight countries, including Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Spain.[6][7]
