At the award ceremony, Xu Xi, President of the Convergent Data Domain of Huawei's Cloud Core Network product line, said: "We truly appreciate the industry's recognition of Huawei SmartPCC solution's policy control capabilities and service-oriented practices. With the advent of the 5G era, policy control will play a more important role in E2E QoS assurance for ubiquitous access, multiple services, and multiple industries. Huawei strives to provide better business models, technical architecture, and evolution strategies for carriers, driving industry development and commercial success. In addition, Huawei will join hands with carriers to build flexible, agile, open, and unified policy control centers, providing new business opportunities, modes of operation, and service experiences for carriers in the 5G era."

Looking ahead, Huawei will remain committed to open innovation and cooperation, creating greater value for our customers, advancing the ICT industry, and ultimately contributing to the building of a better connected world.
