Gigabit Transition: Acceleration and Quality Improvement, Meeting Digital and AI Service Requirements

Gigabit optical broadband achieves higher network speeds, and plays a critical role in meeting digital and AI service requirements. For example, 4K/8K live streaming, VR service, and home office require sufficient bandwidth. Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 7, and Huawei's iFTTR F50 solution, can help carriers expand Wi-Fi coverage and explore business opportunities for gigabit smart home. So, the gigabit transition is also an opportunity for the future.

Industry predicts that in the next three years, the proportion of 500Mbps+ broadband users will reach 30%, while the proportion of gigabit broadband users will reach 10% in LATAM.

Scenario Transition: Providing Diversified and Scenario-Specific Services to Explore Personalized User Market

The application scenarios of optical broadband are no longer limited to traditional home entertainment. Amid the continuous growth of network speeds and Internet services, many diversified application scenarios like home office and live streaming emerge. In LATAM, the growth of the live streaming economy and rider economy intuitively showcases the business potential of optical broadband for carriers in new scenarios. Huawei is willing to explore innovative business models and provide services that better meet users' personalized requirements with carriers.

In the AI era, its development relies on massive data, powerful computing, and high-speed networks, which happen to be the carriers' strengths. Carriers can build home hub with media computing hosts to connect smart devices, and provide better services. Provide high-speed and stable network support for AI applications through technologies such as FTTR. Use powerful AI in the cloud with smart devices to offer personalized services. Within these, carriers can seize the opportunity of the AI era.

Huawei is developing ICT business in LATAM over 20 years, and willing to share business experience and the support technology. Huawei will be one of the best strategic partners for carriers to embrace more business opportunities in the GIGA and AI era for digital LATAM.
