'Huawei working more closely with customers from different countries including Bangladesh, Nepal during pandemic'

KATHMANDU, May 23: Leading information and communications technology (ICT) solutions and service provider Huawei on Saturday organized a virtual tour of its Darwin Hall, where the organization demonstrated the very latest developments in the global ICT sector and Huawei’s contribution to these developments.

The tour was attended by journalists from Bangladesh and Nepal, as well as senior high officials of Huawei. Jay Chen, Vice President of Huawei Asia Pacific, welcomed the guests and virtually accompanied them on the tour.

During the tour, the guests got a glimpse of the potential of digitization. Digitization enabled technological advancements such as 5G ToB, Smart Manufacturing, Smart Police, Smart Port, Smart City, and OTN Ultra-Fast Financial Private Lane were demonstrated during the tour.

Addressing the session, the vice president Chen said, “2020 has been a difficult year for everyone. But technology has played a critical role in helping us fight against the pandemic and accelerate economic recovery. Facing these challenges, Huawei has worked even more closely with our customers and partners than ever before. Nations like Bangladesh and Nepal are showing remarkable progress to keep up with the pace.”

Chen also added that  once Nepal’s initiation to enter the 5G club will give more confidence to the whole telecom industry in Nepal. “However, there will be a greater need for a lot of research, study and preparation regarding standard regulation, frequency identification, roll out plan etc. to be done by the Government of Nepal, for commercial launch of the 5G network. We believe that during the study and preparation for the 5G test, Nepal can still keep on rolling out 4G networks nationwide.”  He also suggested to the government to focus on spreading 4G in rural areas  as there are a lot of people who are yet to be benefited by the service.

Jay Chen also said that Huawei has been pushing its limits, to take up this genuine responsibility and provide the nations with state-of-the-art technological assistance, for a continuous and seamless transition, from one level of technology-driven development to the next  “Charles Darwin set out across the world to survey in 1831, observing biodiversity in jungles around the world. His epoch-making discovery has ushered in a new era in natural science. Inheriting Darwin's spirit, Huawei explores the latest developments of the ICT industry. In the Digi Telligent Forest, let's uncover secrets to the ICT industry's prosperity.”
