With changes to the ICT industry and the emergence of new technologies such as 5G, cloud and AI, and the rise of B2B market demand, carriers are facing more and more uncertainties and refined operational challenges. To solve these difficulties, carriers require comprehensive professional consulting services and solutions, covering strategic predictions, top-level design, product and offering designs, end-to-end network planning, operation optimisation, and reconstruction and ecosystem valuebased operations, to maximise investment benefits, achieve sustainable development and positive business cycles. On this basis, Huawei will now offer consulting services for the carrier market and its customers.

Huawei will provide carriers with 12 consulting portfolios in the four domains of strategy, business, operations and networks. These portfolios include: 5G businessnetwork synergetic consulting, value-based management consulting, enterprise knowhow consulting, operation optimisation and reconstruction consulting, a DTPC (Digital Transformation practice centre), operation assistance consulting, video consulting, home/fixed network consulting, consumer/mobile network consulting, intelligent operation consulting, digital service consulting and service experience monetisation consulting.

It does this by offering close linkage with business design and network planning, Huawei’s profound professional knowledge, its DTPC innovation and Cloud Open Labs platform. This ensures network deployment is driven by service development, ondemand network construction and precise network construction, to achieve a positive business cycle during 5G development.
