Huawei NB-IoT Solution Receives GSMA's Best IoT Innovation for Mobile Networks Award

[Shanghai, China, June 29, 2017] Witnessed by experts
from the global telecommunications industry and the
media, Huawei’s NB-IoT solution received the "Best
IoT Innovation for Mobile Networks" award issued by
GSMA at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Shanghai
2017. As one of the industry’s most comprehensive
NB-IoT solutions, Huawei's NB-IoT solution was cited
for its outstanding achievements and contributions in
technological innovation, industry research, and
applied practice.

GSMA functions to connect participants throughout the
global mobile communications ecosystem, including
almost 800 operators and over 300 enterprises. The
association lays significant emphasis on addressing
common concerns to best serve the interests of mobile
operators worldwide. GSMA's "Best IoT Innovation for
Mobile Networks" award identifies and rewards Internet
of Things (IoT) products, solutions, services, and new
business models to highlight innovative breakthroughs
based on new technological developments and
standards of mobile networks.
Huawei's NB-IoT solution comprises an NB-IoT
terminal chipset, terminal operation system LiteOS,
NB-IoT RAN and EPC, OceanConnect (a cloud platform
for IoT management), and OpenLab that helps related
enterprises develop IoT services and applications. The
goal of the Huawei NB-IoT solution is to jointly build a
better connected IoT solution and ecosystem with
operators and partners from a diverse range of vertical
industries. Huawei was the first to launch associated
products after 3GPP released standards formulated for
NB-IoT. In 2016, Huawei began conducting trials NB-
IoT applications in conjunction with mainstream
operators and partners. In early 2017, Huawei launched
Boudica120, the world’s first commercial NB-IoT chip.
This year, Huawei successfully achieved a number of
development milestones in terms of Smart Metering,
Smart Parking, Smart Lighting, Smart Agriculture, and
associated sectors. In March 2017, Huawei jointly
released the world's first commercial NB-IoT-based
Smart Water project in cooperation with Shenzhen
Water and China Telecom. This project, involving 800
MHz NB-IoT base stations managed by OceanConnect,
established an industry benchmark for NB-IoT-based
applications. Two months later, Huawei participated as
a strategic partner of China Unicom Shanghai in the
trial commercial project for the world's first 4.5G-
based large-scale NB-IoT network with continuous
coverage. Huawei assisted China Unicom in
establishing more than 2600 base stations throughout
Shanghai, offering terminals, servers, Apps, and other
necessary products for the project. In June, Huawei
and China Telecom co-built the world's first NB-IoT-
based Smart Lighting project for commercial use in
Yingtan, Jiangxi province.
"Huawei feels sincerely grateful in receiving GSMA's
prestigious award that represents one of the top
achievements of the mobile communications world in
Asia,” said Jiang Wangcheng, President of Huawei IoT
Solution. “This award embodies recognition of the
remarkable progress Huawei has made in promoting
NB-IoT technological innovation, solution innovation,
and ecosystem establishment, as well as advancing
development of the mobile communications industry as
a whole. 2017 is the starting line for commercial NB-
IoT deployment, and Asia, especially China, will be the
pace-setter. Huawei will continue to offer a premium
product portfolio and open architecture incorporating
chips, LiteOS, RAN, EPC, and a cloud platform. Huawei
hopes OpenLabs will continue to contribute more to
the win-win development of operators and industry
partners. All these combined efforts are in favor of a
prosperous future for the NB-IoT ecosystem and a
fully connected world which is definitely set to be
better than ever."
In 2017, Huawei is scheduled to deploy over 30 NB-IoT
networks for Utility, Smart City, Smart Agriculture, and
other sectors in more than 20 countries across the
globe.
