"We are also building up a robust ecosystem where we aim to explore new business areas together with our carrier customers and partners. As commercial deployment draws near, our end-to-end NB-IoT Solution will be part of our core IoT strategy and drive the commercialisation of IoT applications. In 2015, Huawei launched the '1+2+1' IoT ICT Strategy. "NB-IoT will be a key driver for this trend - it will also be one of the key untapped markets for operators. "The number of cellular IoT connections worldwide will grow seven-fold over the next three to four years," Jiang Wangcheng, vice president of Marketing and Solutions in Huawei's Products and Solutions division, said. Huawei's NB-IoT solution will enable telecommunications providers to "turn IoT into a basic service", the company said, with the solution to be made available in September followed by a large commercial trial slated for Q4 and large-scale commercial deployment in December. Huawei earlier this month also launched its narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) solution at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Shanghai, saying it will have a large-scale commercialised IoT offering by the end of this year. We look forward to joining forces with leaders from every industry, including our customers, partners, and developers from around the world, to realise the brilliant vision for IIoT." "We are very pleased to become a strategic partner of Huawei in IIoT. "The growth of the Industrial Internet in China demands not only capital and development from companies like GE and our partners, but also a commitment to align the private and public sector to build together," added GE Digital CEO Bill Ruh. Companies need to collaborate openly with partners and integrate resources and capabilities from partners in order to contribute to customers' success."īoth companies said collaboration is the key to achieving the move towards digitisation for the industry, particularly given the growth of the industrial internet in Huawei's home market of China. No single company can address all these challenges on its own. "Industry digitisation will require connectivity among a huge number of devices, Big Data computing, and smart applications. "The next decade is critical for the transition to digital economy," said Huawei's chief strategy marketing officer William Xu.
