FEATURE: NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE
We’ re seeing increasing overlap between AI, ICT technologies and sustainability. How is Huawei helping countries achieve both digital and environmental goals?
Huawei has many capabilities – we are the largest provider of solar inverters in the world and have been for several years.
TALENT IS THE FOUNDATION OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND THE RIGHT TYPE OF TALENT COMBINED WITH THE RIGHT SKILLSET IS WHAT’ S NEEDED.
We’ ve also achieved the largest deployment of battery storage in the Red Sea project and it is a very well-known project in the region. This is driving a fully renewable powered city or development.
Not only that, we have targets for our R & D across our products to reduce the energy consumption and carbon footprint and we’ re using AI as part of this.
Besides reducing the power of our own products, we’ re then able to deploy solutions for our customers, including something we call the Net Zero Campus.
The Net Zero Campus is a unique solution from Huawei that we partnered on a couple of years ago with Masdar City here in the UAE, where we’ re reducing the power consumption of the ICT network.
Frankly speaking, if we wanted to have no energy consumption, we’ d just turn everything off – but we don’ t want to live like that. Instead, we must consider how to achieve that quality of life with advanced technology using the least amount of energy and carbon footprint.
