To boost business resilience Huawei has announced it will optimise its portfolio in software capabilities and components for intelligent vehicles, while focusing on innovations to address current challenges such as energy consumption and supply chain challenges.
Eric Xu, Huawei’s Rotating Chairman said, “Rebuilding trust and restoring collaboration across the global semiconductor supply chain is crucial to bringing the industry back on track.” He added, “Moving forward, we will continue to find ourselves in a complex and volatile global environment. Resurgence of COVID-19 and geopolitical uncertainty will present ongoing challenges for every organisation, business, and country. We believe deeply in the power of digital technology to provide fresh solutions to the problems we all face. So we will keep innovating and driving digital transformation forward with our customers and partners to bring digital to every person, home and organisation for a fully connected, intelligent world.”
William Xu, Director of the Board and President of Huawei’s Institute of Strategic Research, outlined challenges that will affect social well-being over the next decade, including ageing populations and increasingly high energy consumption. Discussing Huawei’s outlook on the intelligent world of 2030, William Xu noted nine technological challenges and proposed directions for research efforts:
1) Defining 5.5G to support hundreds of billions of different kinds of connections
2) Developing nanoscale optics for an exponential increase in fibre capacity
3) Optimising network protocols to connect all things
4) Providing advanced computing power strong enough to support the intelligent world
5) Extracting knowledge from massive amounts of data to drive breakthroughs in industrial AI
6) Going beyond von Neumann architecture for 100x denser storage systems
7) Combining computing and sensing for a hyper-reality, multi-modal experience
8) Enabling people to more proactively manage their health through continuous self-monitoring of personal vital signs
9) Building an intelligent Internet of Energy for the generation, storage, and consumption of greener electricity
William Xu, Director of the Board and President of Huawei’s Institute of Strategic Research said, “In the decade to come, we can expect to see many great improvements in society. To promote these efforts, we hope to join forces with different industries, academia, research institutes, and application developers to address the universal challenges facing humanity. With a shared vision, we all have a role to play as we explore how to make connections stronger, computing faster, and energy greener. Together, let’s march ahead towards an Intelligent World in 2030.”
