[Dubai, UAE, October 15, 2024] During GITEX Global 2024, at a roundtable themed Build City Intelligent Twins to Accelerate City Digital Transformation, Huawei invited government experts and partners from China, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Africa to discuss hot topics relating to smart city and government digitalization. At the Huawei Cloud UAE Summit, Huawei released the global city intelligent twins architecture to facilitate efficient city governance and accelerate city digital transformation.
Smart city construction is rapidly advancing, and the growing intricacy of urban management necessitates fresh architectures and technologies. City Intelligent Twins represent a future-oriented, next-gen digital city technical architecture. Based on cloud, network, computing, big data, AI, IoT and industry applications, this architecture helps build an integrated intelligent system featuring cloud-network-edge-device synergy. It integrates all-domain data for city governance, ensures continuous operations, and enables smooth running and self-optimization for the city. It ultimately aims to make the city smarter, services more diverse, and residents happier.
At the “Leap to Intelligence with a Better Cloud” Huawei Cloud UAE Summit, Hank Chen, R&D President of Government Public Services Digitalization BU, Huawei, introduced the innovative" City Intelligent Twins Architecture " as Huawei's latest achievement in core technologies and applications for smart cities.City awareness is helps mapping the physical world into digital world. City networks are the meridians, defining a new network framework for all services. City cloud acts as the brain. Huawei has built cloud native and AI algorithms to support cloud migration and the intelligent transformation of all services. The integrated city big data system can maximize the value of the data. Smart city applications work as the limbs, serving public services and city governance. Based on the City Intelligent Twins architecture, Huawei has worked with global partners to build a new digital infrastructure, which has been deployed in over 200 cities across more than 40 countries, helping them achieve efficient city governance and accelerate city digital transformation.
At the Global Smart City Innovation Roundtable, Huawei and its partners discussed topics on end-to-end smart city innovation based on project experience in multiple cities in and outside China. Wang Bin, President of the Marketing & Solution Sales Dept of Government Public Services Digitalization BU, Huawei, shared the smart city evolution roadmap and project experience in multiple cities in China. He believes that the development of China's smart cities has evolved from informatization to digitalization，and then to intelligence. China has accumulated diversified practices in infrastructure construction, intelligent center capability building, and upper-layer application development. These practices can provide effective reference for cities to achieve intelligent efficiency improvement.
During the event, Huawei released the National One-Stop Public Services Solution with partners including Audaque, Linewell, and Bamboocloud, and the National Smart City Solution with Freedo Technology, Isoftstone smart technology, and RayChange Technology.
In the exhibition booth, Huawei showcased three types of construction modes and solution architectures: online public services, integrated public services and data, and intelligent public services, aiming to build efficient, people-centered government services. In addition, Huawei displayed multiple application scenarios of the Intelligent Operation Center (IOC) in smart cities, which can help optimize city governance.
In the future, the Government Public Services Digitalization BU will continue to team up with global partners and use advanced ICTs to contribute to smart city construction, enabling cities to sense, think, and evolve.
