At MWC22 Barcelona, Peng Song, President of Global Carrier Marketing & Solution 
Sales at Huawei, delivered a GSMA session speech titled "Embracing the Digital 
World, GUIDE to the Future". In the speech, Peng shared his thoughts on the 
future evolution of networks. "We should more actively embrace the digital 
world," said Peng, "GUIDE IS NOW. Let's act now to draw a business blueprint 
with more industry partners and lead future development."

Digitalization is advancing rapidly. According to Peng, through a range of 
activities over the past year, such as on-cloud exhibition and online award 
presentation, he experienced first-hand how digitalization boosts efficiency 
and service experience. Within the industry, self-driving vehicles, smooth 5G 
connectivity on 350 km/h high-speed trains, and 360 degree free-view video all 
indicate that we are entering a digital world. He believes that, in the near 
future, technological innovation will satisfy humanity's pursuit of superior 
experiences and create more possibilities.

Digital technology keeps breaking boundaries. At Huawei Connect 2021, Huawei 
published Intelligent World 2030 Report. In this report, Huawei predicts that 
by 2030, globally, there will be more than 200 billion connections, as all 
things will be connected with intelligence; and there will be 1.6 billion fiber 
broadband subscribers. Further on, we will explore the human brain, in an 
effort to unlock human intelligence mysteries and break biological limits using 
digital technologies. And we will also explore outer space and deep ocean, and 
use next-generation networks to build future cities and break the boundaries of 
space.

In his speech, Peng raised a question: If we look at today from the perspective 
of the next decade, what should we be doing right now to evolve our networks 
and seize the opportunities of digitalization? He mentioned that Huawei 
released the GUIDE model last year, which consists of Gigabit everywhere, 
Ultra-automation, Intelligent multi-cloud connection, Differentiated 
Experience, and Environmental Harmony. These are the five key aspects for 
guiding network evolution into the coming digital age. Today, Huawei is 
expanding the definition of the GUIDE model. "We are proposing GUIDE IS NOW 
today," said Peng, "which we define as building ubiquitous gigabit 
connectivity, speeding up ultra-automation to address uncertainties, providing 
intelligent computing and networks as a service, offering differentiated 
experiences on demand, and enabling sustainability with green ICT." GUIDE 
creates a three-layer business development blueprint:

First, GUIDE outlines the future. It is our proposal for a shared business 
vision for the digital world, which integrates service development, operational 
efficiency, business value, and social contribution.

Second, GUIDE addresses the coming together of technology and business. 
Innovative technologies are continuously developed to address new business 
challenges. At this year's MWC, Huawei will launch some innovative solutions, 
such as 5G MetaAAU, FTTR, and OXC.

Finally, GUIDE creates network measurement benchmarks, as a guide of planning 
for markets at different stages of development to help operators find the most 
suitable path for their own network evolution, contributing to sustainable 
business blueprints.

GUIDE accelerates the deep integration of connectivity with green and 
intelligent technologies, while driving the interlocking between business value 
and technological value to allow connectivity innovation to bear fruit.

"Once the train of digitalization starts to roll forward, nothing can stop it," 
said Peng concluding his speech. He called on operators to act immediately in 
collaboration with industry partners and use the GUIDE business blueprint to 
usher in a bright future.

MWC22 Barcelona runs from February 28 to March 3 in Barcelona, Spain. Huawei 
showcases its products and solutions at stand 1H50 in Fira Gran Via Hall 1. 
Together with global operators, industry professionals, and opinion leaders, we 
dive into topics such as industry trends, GUIDE to the Future, and green 
development to envision the future of digital networks. For more information,
