Huawei's big initiatives - Big Video - Everywhere, Big IT - Enabling, Big Operation - Agile, Big Architecture - Elastic, and Big Pipe - Ubiquitous - are designed to create new opportunities. The company foresees a potential US$100 billion video industry market and a US$1 trillion enterprise cloud market. The number of IoT connections is expected to grow tenfold as well.
"Digital transformation is a new engine for telecom industry growth, and it will also empower the innovation of other industries," said William Xu, Executive Director of the Board and Chief Strategy Marketing Officer of Huawei, speaking in London. "Huawei will continue to open up platform capabilities to help carriers to build an open, collaborative, and win-win industry ecosystem to accelerate digital transformation."

With its partners, Huawei is building an overarching ecosystem to realise its vision. The company is:
- Setting up open labs for joint innovation to support rapid commercial use of new services. More than 10 labs across China, Europe and other regions have brought together over 600 partners, the company said.
- Offering developers an eSDK platform delivering flexible and easy-to-use development tools and support services. The company has also launched a US$1 billion Developer Enablement Program to build a supportive environment for innovation.
- Collaborating with consultants and software partners to build industry-specific ecosystems so as to provide integrated solutions to vertical industries such as transportation, energy, government, and finance.
- Innovating with upstream and downstream partners to help them adapt to new telecom trends such as 5G, software-defined networking/network functions virtualisation (SDN/NFV), and digital operations.
- Providing open platform solutions for 2K/4K video which aggregate content and enable innovation in video services.
- Working with telecom operators to provide cloud services. Huawei's cloud strategy is to co-build an open cloud ecosystem with its partners: Huawei will focus on building infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), enabling platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and aggregating software-as-a-service (SaaS), to empower partners in application-oriented and data-driven high value creation.
"Huawei focuses on its core businesses and is committed to empowering carriers' digital transformation with continuous strategic investment. We believe long-term focused efforts and perseverance will lead to breakthrough," said Ryan Ding, Executive Director of the Board and President of Products & Solutions of Huawei, speaking in Beijing.
One of Huawei's focuses at Mobile World Congress this year is 4.5G, which will deliver mobile broadband data rates of up to 1,000 Mbps, enabling HD voice, 2K/4K HD video, and virtual reality experiences to be available anywhere. The technology will also make possible the IoT and help telecom operators expand into industry markets. GigaRadio, to be launched at this year's MWC, is a crucial technology enabler for 4.5G, Huawei said predicting that it will be deployed commercially on a large scale in 2016, and will help to accelerate the global adoption of 4.5G.
Other focuses will include Huawei's IoT solutions, to drive the digital transformation of carriers' home broadband services by making the smart home a reality with Huawei's LTE-based Narrow Broadband IoT (NB-IoT) technology; and Safe City solutions, powered by the latest IoT and mobile broadband (MBB) technologies to deliver smart, video-based security systems for cities. To date, Huawei's Safe City solutions have been deployed in over 100 cities across more than 30 countries.
Huawei also shared the acronym 'ROADS', describing the experience that consumers now want: real-time, on-demand, all-online, DIY, and social, as a result of the convergence of digital and physical worlds. The telecom industry can only deliver a ROADS experience by expanding its own vision, opening up pipes, data, and services to partners, embracing the big initiatives for digital transformation, and sharing resources in complementary partnerships, Huawei said.
