[Shenzhen, China, April 27, 2022] During the 19th Huawei Global Analyst Summit (HAS), Huawei and Strategy Analytics, a global market research and consulting firm, jointly released the GUIDE to the Future white paper. This white paper examines future trends in changing demands in the telecom operator market and clearly defines a roadmap for the network and service transformation of operators.

GUIDE to the Future white paper

The release of the white paper at this year's HAS closely follows the announcement of the GUIDE business blueprint at MWC22 Barcelona in February. Through the white paper, Huawei aims to decipher trends in the future digital economy and explain how operators should develop differentiated capabilities and seize opportunities through digital transformation in order to achieve business success.

More specifically, the white paper stresses that telecom operators should develop business leadership for the future in five areas: expanding services, innovating efficiently, leveraging resources, competing on value, and contributing to society.

In addition, the white paper sets out a number of network evolution objectives, including mobile broadband networks evolving toward 5G-Advanced, fixed broadband networks evolving toward F5.5G, passive optical networks (PONs) upgrading to 50G PONs, faster integrated cloud-network deployment driving the evolution of IP networks toward IPv6 Enhanced, and telecom networks moving toward intelligent O&M.

"The global telecom industry is entering a new phase of development, where digital transformation across industries will create enormous opportunities for telecom operators to explore new services," said Phil Kendall, Executive Director of Strategy Analytics, "Operators should focus on infrastructure, which means building and maintaining high-quality networks. In addition, with expanded network connections, telecom operators can use digital technologies to overcome traditional service boundaries and exploit new opportunities to gain a better position within the ICT ecosystem."

Philip Song, Chief Marketing Officer of Huawei Carrier BG, explained that "The development of the global digital economy requires strong and sustainable network infrastructure." He went on to say that "Huawei will continuously innovate to help carriers develop differentiated network capabilities, and realize both business and social value to create a bright future for the digital economy through digital transformation."
