Awards for Huawei and MTC at AfricaCom 2016
2016-11-23Staff Report 2 Cape Town The recent AfricaCom 2016 awards dinner held in Cape Town saw Huawei walk away with two prestigious awards, namely, the Most Significant LTE Development, and Delivering Excellence in Customer Experience. The Most Significant LTE development award was given jointly to Huawei and MTC, the leading telecom operator in Namibia, for the introduction of LTE and 4.5G. As a LTE pioneer in Africa, MTC launched its LTE network in 2012, partnering with Huawei. In April, witnessed by Namibian President Hage Geingob, MTC and Huawei conducted the first 4.5G trial in Namibia, with peak speed at 1Gbps. 4.5G will have a significant positive contribution to the digital society, bringing cutting-edge communication to citizens, businesses and governments, opening innovations that in the end will create new jobs and the new technology will not only benefit Namibian society, but also open a new gateway for the whole of the African continent. The award recognises Huawei’s contribution to the industry in Africa and Huawei will continue to work with ICT operators, standardisation organisations, industry organisations and a wide range of co-operations to promote the ICT industry in Namibia and also across the African continent. The Delivering Excellence in Customer Experience award was won by Huawei’s Customer Experience Management (CEM) solution, which is business-driven and targets high-end telcos that aim to improve their business & operation performance and deliver a great customer experience to their end user. The solution offers a user-centric solution which shifts the aspect from network-centric to user-centric, establishing user experience indicators of voice, web, streaming, email and OTT services etc. to managing and improving the whole customer experience life-cycle and creating value. 2016-11-23Staff Report 2
