Outlook of Huawei

Since its founding in 1987, Huawei has expanded from a small reseller of telephone exchange equipment to a global market leader in telecom and enterprise network solutions and consumer devices. 

Through its history, the company has shown a strong focus on research and development. From 2007 to 2016, Huawei's total R&D investment surpassed US$48 billion dollars, having invested $11 billion in 2016 alone. 

In 2017, Huawei's innovative WTTx solution helped resolve last-mile access issues in both densely populated cities and sparsely populated rural areas. This solution reduces connectivity costs by 75% and makes network roll-out 90% faster. 

The company also deployed RuralStar 2.0, a solution for rural networks, for 12 carriers in eight countries, including Thailand, Ghana, and Mexico. 

This solution helps increase network coverage in rural areas, allowing more people, especially those in under-developed regions, to access the online world.

Huawei's Mobile Money solution enables carriers and banks to deliver innovative, reliable mobile banking services without adding too much to their asset base. 

It has been deployed in 19 countries and serves over 152 million users. This solution makes financial services simpler and more accessible, driving financial inclusion
