Huawei Tech

It could be as simple as negotiating an elaborate deal with a businessman - even when you
are sitting in an office on the other side of the world. Or it could be as complex as a
hospital`s chief cardiologist making final checks before surgery - for a patient lying in an
isolated village 500 miles away. Or it could be as personal as making sure you see your
children when they get home from school - even though you are in a different time zone.
Huawei's strategy Iocuses on close cooperation and integration with partners to deliver a range oI
customer-centric ICT solutions and services that are based on an understanding oI customer
needs. We oIIer a portIolio oI ICT solutions that cater to global vertical industry and enterprise
customers across government and public sector, Iinance, transportation, energy, large enterprises
and SMEs.
