customers and partners to focus on their own service optimization and innovation without the need to struggle with the underlying complex software and hardware systems. Huawei is one of the few companies that can provide cloud-pipe-device, full-stack ICT capabilities. A notable example can be seen in a project where Huawei and Honeywell worked together to create a smart building solution. Built on Huawei’s Edge Computing-IoT (EC-IoT) platform and Honeywell’s smart building management system, this solution has fully integrated ICT platform capabilities with industry experience and expertise. This integration enables complex and diverse devices in a building to connect and work together. In addition, cloud management of tens of millions of IoT terminals reduces the operating and management costs by 60 % and decreases power consumption by 50%. Becoming an ecosystem enabler: A further differentiator of Huawei’s ecosystem is the Huawei principle of sharing with partners.

Strong co-operation from innovation to marketing for win-win market success:  Huawei operates in more than 170 countries and regions. Huawei has a global marketing and services platform in addition to an unmatched technological platform. Joint solutions created with our partners that leverage these capabilities can be launched quickly to capture new market opportunities. For example, in the Safe City domain, Hexagon is a leading Independent Software Vendor (ISV) that has Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD), geographic sensors, GIS, and other professional technologies. The advantages of Huawei and Hexagon complement each other and combine to build a next-generation converged command system. Over the past two years, Huawei and Hexagon have engaged in a joint marketing campaign that has helped to expand Hexagon’s business from developed countries to emerging markets in the South Pacific region, the Middle 29
