Huawei's vision and mission are to bring digital transformation to every person, home, and organization for a fully connected, intelligent world. A fully connected, intelligent world means better connections, better experiences, and better operations and maintenance (O&M). To achieve this, Ryan Ding gave some feasible suggestions during his speech.

Firstly, he said operators should realize multi-band collaboration, plan and design based on different services, and extend traditional 2C services to 2B and 2X to provide better connections. Secondly, operators should ensure continuous service experience from network planning and optimization to O&M. In addition, with the help of AI technology and platforms, continuous offline training and online closed-loop management will eventually lead to autonomous networks, with a high degree of automation, self-healing, self-optimization and autonomy. As a result, overall O&M can be improved from three aspects: O&M efficiency, energy efficiency and resource efficiency.

During HUGM, top global operators, including China Mobile, Deutsche Telekom, Telecom Italia, LG Uplus and Telkom, also shared their best practices and viewpoints. Additionally, Huawei reported the results of the 2017 top issue improvement programs, and 2018 top issues group discussions have started, in order to continuously solve problems, create values and improve satisfaction for customers.

For over a decade, Huawei has been sincerely cooperating with all our customers, whose success is our motivation to move forward. With the 10th HUGM as a new start, Huawei will continue to be customer-centric and work together with customers to create better connections, better experiences, and better O&M, to shape the future together for a fully connected intelligent world.
