What's going on

Speech given by Abraham Liu, Huawei's Chief Representative to the European Institutions, at today's 3rd Huawei DigitALL Talk.

(Brussels, 21 May 2019) – Huawei today reaffirmed its commitment to roll out 5G “The European Way”, at a debate held in the Huawei Cybersecurity Transparency Centre in Brussels.

Huawei shared updates on the use of its ON2.0 solution with more than 200 customers worldwide during its 6th Optical Network Innovation Forum in Nice, France.

Huawei is the unparalleled leader in 5G. We are ready and willing to engage with the US government and come up with effective measures to ensure product security. Restricting Huawei from doing business in the US will not make the US more secure or stronger; instead, this will only serve to limit the US to inferior yet more expensive alternatives, leaving the US lagging behind in 5G deployment, and eventually harming the interests of US companies and consumers. In addition, unreasonable restrictions will infringe upon Huawei's rights and raise other serious legal issues.

Huawei unveiled a new campaign “Vote for 5G, Vote Smarter”

Addressing the POLITICO AI Summit in Brussels today, Huawei's Abraham Liu said Huawei wants to  accelerate the popularity of AI by providing a platform for more people to use it.

Huawei launched its new optical network terminal at the 2019 FTTH conference in Amsterdam, to provide users with smooth, high-speed Wi-Fi and full coverage in the home.
