At the ninth Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC), two of Huawei's key 
customers won prestigious digital transformation awards: the government of 
Yingtan in Jiangxi Province of China, won the global and China Digital 
Transformation Award, and Longgang District in Shenzhen, China, won the China 
Digital Government Innovation Award. In addition, five Huawei customers were 
shortlisted for intelligent city awards. Hefei, the capital of China's Anhui 
Province, was finalist for the China Digital Government Innovation Award, while 
Zhangjiagang in Suzhou, China, was shortlisted for the China Refined City 
Governance Award. The city of Makati in the Philippines, the South Africa State 
Information Technology Agency (SITA), and DHL Digital Supply Chain were 
shortlisted for the global Innovative Idea Award. While Huawei customers have 
won awards at SCEWC over the past few years, this year Huawei customers won 
awards across more categories with more finalists than previous years. This 
reflects the industry's recognition of Huawei's efforts to help customers 
innovate in the intelligent city field, as well as accumulate and share 
experience with other regions.

Based on extensive experience in urban digital transformation, Huawei helps 
customers build a city digital platform. By integrating new ICT and converged 
data, the platform optimizes the city's digital assets and simplifies the 
operation of new technologies, thus enabling innovation and value from urban 
applications. Ken Kang, Director of Intelligent City Solution Department, 
Huawei Enterprise Business Group stated: "The true 'intelligence' that cities 
need cannot be provided by technologies alone, it is also driven by advancing 
business models. We would like to congratulate Yingtan and our other customers 
on these prestigious awards that show industry recognition for their efforts 
and achievements in moving towards intelligent cities. With open cooperation, 
Huawei and partners will build a robust ecosystem and help customers continue 
to implement customized digital platforms."

IoT-Based Yingtan Wins Digital Transformation Award with 5G+IoT Coverage

As a national pilot city in China's communications field, Yingtan envisions an 
"IoT-based, Intelligent Yingtan." Through collaboration with Huawei, the 
government of Yingtan has built the city's unified services around a "One 
Center, Four Platforms" model. The city has deployed an IoT "brain" that is 
visualized, efficient, and intelligent, a high-precision city information model 
platform and all-domain 5G+IoT coverage. This has enabled the city to build a 
digital twin and develop its digital economy with the IoT industry as the core. 
In the past two years, the number of devices connected via IoT has exceeded the 
city population, and 214 IoT companies have been established, supporting the 
transformation and rapid development of Yingtan's industries, economy, and 
society.

Yingtan has now officially launched 5G services. 43 categories of IoT 
applications such as intelligent water, intelligent transportation, intelligent 
streetlights and intelligent parking are improving the lives of residents. The 
local mobile IoT network now has leading density and quality coverage 
nationwide. As the country's first smart water meter global application city, 
the installation rate reached 95%, the leakage rate dropped to 12%, and the 
annual water saving was 2.4 million tons. Through the development of smart 
transportation, 89% of the city's operating vehicles have installed 
vehicle-mounted terminals, and the number of daily alarms has decreased from 
15,000 to around 280.

Shenzhen's Longgang District Wins Digital Government Innovation Award (China) 
for Being the World's First Intelligent City with an Intelligent "Brain"

Longgang District in Shenzhen began its intelligent city development in 2013, 
aiming to build the world's first city with a "brain" - or an intelligent 
operations center. The district government is now adopting a development model 
that enables cooperation between the government and enterprises, emphasizes 
infrastructure construction, is data-driven, facilitates government operations, 
and benefits the people. As a result, Longgang has achieved three national 
firsts: the first intelligent center that has access to district-wide 
information systems, the first to manage city applications using one map, and 
the first to use a mobile app that enables administrators to monitor the entire 
district with one click, on the go, efficiently serving all 5 million people in 
the district.

Innovative Idea Award Finalist: DHL Digital Supply Chain - Intelligent 
Logistics and Warehousing Solution

Huawei and DHL Digital Supply Chain have developed an intelligent logistics and 
warehousing solution based on industrial IoT. Using RFID and cloud 
infrastructure, the solution improves the efficiency and automation of 
intelligent city supply chains. It has enabled real-time management and ensures 
100% success rate in label reading with coverage distance up to 100m. The 
transparency of material management and efficiency of material handling has 
been greatly improved.

Innovative Idea Award Finalist: Makati - Enhanced City Emergency Response 
Capabilities

Makati City of the Philippines is one of the 16 cities that make up the 
metropolis of Manila, Philippines. Makati cooperated with Huawei to deploy 
urban intelligence solutions to improve urban emergency response capabilities 
through urban digital infrastructure interconnection, enabling citizens to 
quickly report crimes and request assistance to city command centers. Residents 
are now able to directly connect to the command center through IoT devices in 
one-click. In the meantime, Makati's intelligent command center has implemented 
real-time information command and unified dispatch, which improves municipal 
governance.

Innovative Idea Award Finalist: South Africa SITA - a More Agile Digital 
Government with Cloud Platform

In recent years, the South African government has faced challenges such as the 
rising cost of citizen services and management inefficiencies due to fragmented 
data. Through the cloud platform provided by Huawei, SITA has streamlined 
departmental information silos allowing effective collaboration of information 
and data to accelerate the delivery and operations of public services at 
substantially lower costs. It helped SITA build a more agile, responsive and 
flexible digital government, significantly improving public services quality.

Huawei's intelligent city solution has served more than 500 million people in 
over 200 cities across more than 40 countries and regions. At the ninth SCEWC 
held from November 19 to 21 in Barcelona, Huawei exhibits its solutions and 
products under the theme of "Building a Fully Connected, Intelligent City". 
Huawei's booth is located at C321 in Hall 2, Gran Via. For more information
