Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>After two years of virtual gatherings, the prestigious annual AfricaCom event \u2013 Africa\u2019s largest technology conference \u2013 made its in-person return this year.<\/p>\n

Taking place at the Cape Town International Conference Centre (CTICC) from 7 to 11 November, the event brought together African operators, industry elites, and opinion leaders. As a leading industry player, Huawei had a big presence at the event.<\/p>\n

With the theme \u201cLighting up the Future,\u201d it shared insight on cutting-edge trends in the telecom industry, including 4G\/5G co-development, FMC intelligent connectivity, digital operations transformation, and green development leading the future of digital networks in Africa.<\/p>\n

During the conference\u2019s opening session, Leo Chen, President of Huawei Sub-Saharan Africa Region delivered a presentation entitled \u201cLighting up the Future with Nonstop Innovation\u201d. In it, he outlined Huawei\u2019s latest ICT development concepts and successful digital transformation solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe high resilience and rapid growth of the continent\u2019s digital economy, technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and cloud are evolving rapidly and the adoption of ICT in a wide range of industries is growing,\u201d said Chen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are supporting Africa in advancing the technical revolution, boosting productivity and increasing jobs.\u201d He pointed out that over the last two decades, Africa has made significant progress in digitalization.<\/p>\n

It has established the first-mile infrastructure, connecting countries on the continent to the global internet. Additionally, it has tripled its middle-mile internet infrastructures that expands the connection within and between countries.<\/p>\n

However, there are still challenges to be overcome. \u201cToday, we still need to improve the last-mile broadband infrastructure and bridge the digital divide between urban and rural areas,\u201d Chen said.<\/p>\n

Whilst there is appetite for a greater uptake of digital technologies, constraints including a skills deficit, and lack of viable technology solutions are impeding the advance of ICT adoption. Chen pointed out there are three major ways to break through these bottlenecks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to further deepen connectivity to connect more people, enterprises, and scenarios; unleash digital productivity and enable digital transformation in multiple industries; increase the ICT industry\u2019s energy-efficiency and leverage ICT technologies to reduce emissions across all industries,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Of particular relevance to the African context were case studies around the digital transformation of the port and mining sectors in China which have attracted wide attention from its African counterparts.<\/p>\n

These case studies provide a good example and reference for the potential of the development of the digital economy in Africa, as 90% of Africa\u2019s imports and exports travels by sea, and mining is an important source of wealth creation for many African countries.<\/p>\n

As Africa\u2019s digital ship sails into the future, it requires a strong tail wind to propel it forward. Chen called for more favourable industrial policies, and more cooperation between public and private sectors.<\/p>\n

To this end, Huawei has set up four innovation centres in Africa, launched several plans to support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and will train 100 000 digital champions in Africa over the next three years.<\/p>\n

At AfricaCom, Huawei also showcased a range of innovative technologies and solutions, including the Very Large Scale Antenna Array (ELAA), and solutions such as Ultra-Wideband RRU, that effectively and cost effectively address some of the obstacles such as inconsistent spectrum resources and insufficient fibreoptic network reach that are holding Africa back.<\/p>\n
