Huawei is encouraging countries around the world to make their ICT regulation more comprehensive but less restrictive. It says every country should be building more digital infrastructure to fuel a high quality economic transformation and long-term, sustainable growth.
If the computers of the future, distributed all over the world, can pool and integrate their information, they can form a collective "digital brain" in the cloud: An engine for a more efficient society. Data centers and national broadband networks will be the hubs and neurons of this brain.
"Data centers and broadband networks are a vital part of the national information infrastructure,” said Zou Zhilei, president of Huawei's Carrier Business Group, during the ITU Telecom World 2016 in Bangkok. “We believe that for any developing nation or region seeking 'leapfrog development', it is vital to use the levers of policy, coordination on standards, and accelerated infrastructure rollout."
Huawei's exhibition space in ITU Telecom World this year has the theme "Enabler of the Digital Economy, Building a Better Connected World,” and the company is presenting some of its latest ideas and experiences in cloud, national broadband networks, ultra-fast wireless communications, and smart devices.
Virtual reality (VR) and 5G have been the hot new advances of 2016, and Huawei's ultrafast VR and 5G wireless solutions attracted a lot of attention at Telecom World.
New applications will create vast flows of data, and Huawei is calling on governments and regulators around the world to release more spectrum resources for telecommunications. This will allow carriers to put in place gigaband wireless technologies. The world should bring a spirit of openness and cooperation to 5G research so that a single, global standard can be defined. That will reduce costs, and enable the entire world to connect seamlessly.
