To strengthen its leadership in the business transformation of 5G, Huawei is doubling its investments in operator software.
This announcement follows the rapid development of innovative applications in the 5G marketplace for businesses such as AR maintenance, remote APIs, intelligent quality inspection and drone surveillance. 5G will provide enormous opportunities for digitization in a wide range of industries.
Huawei has already cooperated with a number of verticals and has seen gradual success. As a result, it has won over 1,000 commercial contracts in 20 industries including transportation, power grid, ports, smart manufacturing and other industries over the past two years.
Speaking at the TM Forum Hard Talk event last week, Maurice Ma, Chairman of Huawei’s Software Business Department, said, “Now is the time to plan for the operational transformation and upgrades of the BSS (Business Support System) to achieve the commercial success of 5GtoB. According to our successful practices, the transformation of Greenfield BSS becomes a mature and achievable approach. Huawei will double its investment in carrier software and actively embrace 5G, cloud and industry digitization to help customers succeed in their businesses. “
New 5G opportunities gradually succeed in strategic cooperation
In 2020, the annual turnover of 5G companies of Chinese operators reached US $ 1 billion. In the area of 5G consumers, Chinese operators have incubated a large number of new 5G services, including AR / VR, 5G messaging, and new 5G calling, for example video ringtones. Chinese operators thus earned more than CNY 3 billion (USD 460 million) from the consumer sector.
5G services are developing in multiple dimensions. The demands of vertical industrial services for network slicing, 5G private lines, and new and diverse load sizes all pose great challenges to traditional BSS systems. The evolution of next-generation BSS is therefore an important element in the success of 5G business operations. Recognizing this, Huawei will increase its investment in 5G BSS to maintain its leadership position in the 5G field.
The Successful BSS Greenfield Approach to Telecom Business Transformation
In the past, carrier IT transformation was characterized by very long transformation times, high risks, and unclear transformation values and results. After several years of research and extensive market experience, Huawei’s BSS Greenfield model has now established itself as an effective way for operators to transform their future business support system. The Greenfield model focuses on high-value services, accelerating the exit and upgrade of legacy services and simplifying the transformation journey.
Huawei has embarked on Greenfield’s business transformation model. The vendor has built a new service oriented Greenfield platform and uses MVP (Minimal Viable Product) to attract users to the new platform without inheriting live network functionality or migrating data.
Huawei has helped more than ten operators to successfully complete large-scale operational transformation projects in China, Asia-Pacific and Latin America, and has incorporated the successful experience of these projects into its product solutions and methodologies. delivery services. During the period of accelerated 5G development, the Greenfield model will help more operators to support the development of 5GtoB services and achieve business success.
Huawei to double investment in operator’s software for 5G services
Cloudification, platform and openness of 5GtoB operating systems are essential capabilities to support the future development of 5G services. In addition, the Greenfield model has helped several projects succeed in their transformation. Over the next five years, Huawei will double its R&D investment in carrier software, including 5G-oriented full stack BSS, and ensure continued leadership in this area.
As a leading telecommunications provider, Huawei software serves 3 billion subscribers globally and has been ranked number one in software market share in Gartner Operation Technology reports for the past five consecutive years. Huawei ranks first in 3GPP standards for 5G monetization and is fully committed to helping carriers unlock more business value in the 5G era.
