FEATURED SAMENA TRENDS

President Huawei ME Speaks to SAMENA Council

The Success of Our Intelligent World Relies on Connectivity

Huawei predicts that, by 2030, there will be 200 billion
connections worldwide, and data will reach 1 YB every year,
a 23-fold increase over 2020. As a result, there are increased
demands for intelligence, efficiency, resiliency, and trusted
connectivity and the basic needs of speed, capacity, and
bandwidth in broadband networks.

The evolution of technology has changed how people use
data services and, in turn, modified the data demands in the
network. At the same time, the digital industry transformation
is accelerating, different digital services will generate more
data through massive machine type connections in the
network. Soon we will find ourselves in an intelligent world
that requires ubiquitous intelligence to integrate the virtual
and the physical world that will generate and transmit more
data.
As the region's connectivity technology
and ecosystem mature, we see carriers

integrate other technologies such as
cloud, AI etc, to formulate 'XtoB', aim
to accelerate the industry's digital
transformation

With the industry's digital transformation accelerating,
to enable the specific industry digital solutions, many
enterprises require a single service provider to provide
end-to-end capabilities such as, secure, reliable and agile
campus and cloud networks, cloud and edge computing
capability, data centres facilities, and industrial internet of
things (IIoT) and integrated services. Such demands will
provide massive opportunities for the carriers to create
XtoB capabilities and further drive revenue growth in its 2B
sector. Steven Yi
President
We have seen that XToB revenue growth for 12 major
carriers in Europe increase 3.3% year-on-year, compared Huawei Middle East
to 0.7% for toC revenue. Connectivity such as enterprise
internet connections, private lines, new cloud networks,
and OTN Premium Leased Line services account for 62% of
XtoB revenue. The revenue of cloud service is also growing
rapidly.
