Intelligent interaction:
 This layer serves as 
the basis for connecting the physical and digital 
worlds. It is comprised of various devices, including 
cameras, smartphones, robots, and machinery, 
as well as the Intelligent EdgeFabric (IEF) that 
manages, analyzes, and processes these devices. 
Intelligent interaction will present tremendous 
opportunities for the edge computing industry, and 
the value of the global edge computing market is 
expected to rise to US$500 billion over the next 
five years.
From a market perspective, our ICT infrastructure 
business primarily covers two markets: the carrier 
market and the enterprise market. In these markets, 
we use our innovative products and solutions to 
build open ecosystems, develop scenario-based 
Intelligent Twins solutions, and provide services to 
our carrier, government, and enterprise customers. 
This allows us to better serve every person, home, 
and organization.
From an industry perspective, our ICT infrastructure 
business focuses on connectivity and cloud & 
computing. In connectivity, we strive to support 
Intelligent Twins and leverage 5G, optical 
networks, and intelligent IP networks to deliver 
intelligent connectivity that is characterized by 
ubiquitous gigabit, deterministic experience, and 
hyper-automation. In cloud & computing, we aim 
to develop core capabilities for the intelligent 
hub with “one cloud” (HUAWEI CLOUD), “two 
wings” (one is computing; the other is data 
storage & intelligent vision), and “two engines” 
(general-purpose computing & intelligent 
computing). Our ultimate goal is to deliver 
ubiquitous cloud and intelligence and enable 
all-scenario intelligence.
Carrier Market
2020 was an unprecedented year. COVID-19 has 
changed the world irreparably, but ICT technology 
has helped keep us running. Lives and work are 
going online and becoming digital and intelligent. 
ICT technology was critical in the fight against the 
pandemic and it kept families connected and helped 
businesses stay open.
Huawei strives to become the most innovative and 
trusted partner for carriers worldwide. To create value 
for customers, we put them at the heart of everything 
we do and pursue ongoing innovation. In the carrier 
market, our consistent investment into R&D and 
market expansion facilitates and ensures carriers’ 
network stability, business sustainability, and new 
business growth.
In 2020, Huawei worked with its customers and 
industry partners to fight the pandemic, build the 
best possible ICT infrastructure, and drive the digital 
transformation of all industries. Our key efforts over 
the past year included the following:
■ 
We delivered simplified, green, and converged 
end-to-end commercial networks for carriers 
worldwide.
■ 
We embedded digital and intelligent technologies 
into every aspect of carriers’ operations to 
make their network rollout and O&M much 
more efficient, enable the digital operations 
transformation of carriers, and support the 
innovations of carriers and partners.
■ 
We worked with industry partners to build a 
mature ecosystem and develop innovative business 
models and applications. This helped carriers 
unleash the full potential of their networks and 
achieve greater business success by expanding into 
new markets across vertical industries.
Moving forward, we are eager to work with 
carriers and industry partners to explore and build 
future-oriented target networks, which will help 
carriers stay ahead of the curve and achieve business 
success.

Leadership in Innovation: Building a Solid 
Network Foundation for Carriers
Maximizing Network Value
Radio Access Network
Huawei has constantly innovated in the radio access 
network domain, striving to deliver the best possible 
network experiences. Carriers worldwide are looking 
to deploy sites in many different scenarios. Therefore, 
Huawei provides high-performance, green, and 
simplified integrated site solutions to meet their key 
requirements regarding site deployment, spectrum 
acquisition, and user experience consistency. To 
maximize the value of mobile networks, we have 
helped carriers build simplified “1+N” networks, where 
“1” refers to one foundation network for ubiquitous 
coverage and “N” is the on-demand capabilities that 
can be added.
