centres and 45 training centres worldwide. Similar
products and solutions are applied in over 170
countries and regions worldwide. Through these
innovation centres and collaboration with partners
globally, Huawei is transforming its global value

enabling customers worldwide to leverage this
platform and the latest innovations from all over
