[Johannesburg, South Africa, July 3, 2024] The South Africa leg of Huawei Network Summit 2024 was successfully held in Johannesburg, South Africa. The event brought together more than 700 industry experts, technical leaders, and partners from over 10 countries in Southern Africa to explore network technology developments in the AI era. At the summit, Huawei unveiled its Xinghe Intelligent Network offerings, industry-specific solutions, and flagship distribution products, and industry pioneers from the finance, transportation, and ISP sectors shared their best practices in network construction in the intelligent era.
ICT infrastructures are particularly important for the digital development of Southern Africa. In his keynote speech, Victor Guo, President of Huawei's Sub-Saharan Africa Enterprise Business, said, "IP networks cover all production and office processes of enterprises, and become more important as we stride towards the intelligent world. We stand ready to work with all like-minded stakeholders to integrate Huawei's leading Xinghe Intelligent Network into new applications in each field and contribute to the accelerated development of Africa's intelligent economy."
"To usher in Net5.5G, Huawei has launched the Xinghe Intelligent Network Solution ideal for building new network infrastructures for the intelligent era," said Steven Zhao, Vice President of Huawei Data Communications Product Line. "This future-proof solution improves computing power efficiency, flexibly schedules computing power, and delivers always-optimal campus application experience and robust network security, helping enterprises maximize intelligent productivity."
Key announcements include all-scenario Wi-Fi 7 APs, the industry's highest-density 400GE modular data center switch (a total of 640 400GE ports), the industry's unique switch with flexible cards from GE to 400GE, the industry's first 220 mm deep 400GE router, an all-in-one intelligent converged gateway, and Net Master (a network large model application).
Besides this, Huawei also launched nine industry-specific solutions and flagship distribution products for customers in public services, finance, and electric power sectors. This reaffirmed Huawei's efforts to dive deep into the commercial and small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) markets.
Also at the summit, Ntuthuko Ndamane, CIO of KZN Department of Transport, South Africa, said through cooperation with Huawei, the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport of South Africa has built a high-quality Wi-Fi 7 wireless network to provide a stable and reliable network for the digital government and improve the efficiency of government work.
A notable highlight was the launch of the IP Club Explorer Program, which offers upgraded rights and interests to members. This program is designed to enhance communication and connections among IP industry peers through more diversified activities, and build IP Club into an important platform for peer communication and interaction in the region. The event also recognized and presented awards to IP Club diamond and gold members in the Southern Africa region.
The intelligent development of industries, with examples such as digital government, intelligent finance, and smart transportation, calls for more intelligent networks.
