Our products and solutions have been commercially deployed in over 100 countries, and serve 28 of the world’s top 50 operators, as well as over one billion subscribers worldwide. Huawei has also made great progress in our localization endeavors, and our local employees are a strong driving force of Huawei’s service culture. Out of over 10,000 overseas Huawei employees, more than 60% were recruited locally. Through a variety of training programs and cross-cultural exchanges, Huawei helps our local employees understand and adapt to our customer-centric corporate culture. The company also provides local employees with favorable career development paths, with
some of them already in upper-management level positions, supervising local branch offices and areas such as sales and services. As a result of these efforts, our products and solutions have achieved wide success in international markets, for example: • 19 UMTS commercial networks had been deployed by the end of 2005 • Huawei is the No.1 NGN provider in the global VoIP market with 29.3% of market share in terms of port shipments (Dittberner, 3Q05) • No.2 in the global DSLAM market with 16.9% of market share, and No.1 in the global IP DSLAM market with 32% market share (Infonetics, 3Q05) • No.1 provider in MSAN with 32.3% of market share in terms of port shipments (Infonetics, 3Q05) • No.2 in the global optical network market with 10.3% of market share (Ovum-RHK, 4Q04-3Q05) • No.1 in the global long-haul DWDM market with 15.9% of market share (Ovum-RHK, 4Q04-3Q05) • No.3 in the global carrier-router market (Gartner, 2Q05) • No.1 in terms of the number of users of intelligent network products with 21.6% of market share (Ovum-RHK)

Data Communications: leading in carrier-class IP network
Application & Software: exploring new models for the future
The telecommunications industry began to undergo transformation in 2005. In response, global carriers adopted a common development strategy of making IP network more telecom-based and telecom networks more IP-based. In 2005, Huawei launched its ME60, the first in the industry that complies with the ITU-T Y.1291 standard architecture. Huawei’s ME60 can be applied at the core edge of the bearer network, enhancing telecom services such as Triple Play, 3G, and NGN. This converges all network services while allowing them to be controlled separately, thus supporting carriers’ strategy of providing segmented services. Meanwhile, the largest mobile softswitch bearer network in the world that Huawei constructed for China Mobile has been operating smoothly for more than a year, validating China Mobile’s decision to switch to carrier-class IP network for its strategic transformation.
Huawei’s application and software product line made rapid progress in 2005. Huawei maintained its No.1 position in terms of the number of intelligent network subscribers in the value-added services and operation support market, and No.2 in short message quantity. Due to its strength in these two areas, Huawei developed quickly in the systematic development and market expansion of innovative mainstream services. Our service solutions have been successfully deployed by 230 carriers in 94 countries, and more than 100 million subscribers worldwide are using our Color Ring Back Tone service. Our mobile data service has also been deployed on a large scale, and our full 3G solutions have proven themselves through successful applications in mature markets. The popularity of network intelligence is currently at a peak in China, and our NGN service platform has a market share of more than 60% in China.
By the end of 2005, Huawei’s datacom products had been widely deployed in 91 countries including the UK, Germany, Spain, Russia, Singapore, and South Korea, across a variety of industries such as carriers, government, education, banking, securities, insurance, taxation, and electricity. Huawei’s datacom products have also gained extensive trust from customers with carrier-class features of strong scalability, high reliability and high security. 2006 will see the further development of the carrier-class IP network, and Huawei will respond by launching a series of products and solutions designed to meet customer demands in carrier-class IP network, as well as carrier Ethernet.

The telecoms industry is undergoing great changes with the constant development of technology, especially IT and IP technologies. There is also increasing convergence between industries such as telecommunications, IT, media and consumer electronics. The next few years will be a critical time for the transformation of the telecoms industry as broadband, packetization, convergence and mobility become widely recognized as the main trends of the future.
In 2005, Huawei sold over 10 million wireless terminal products, with a year-on-year increase of more than 100%. Huawei’s UMTS and HSDPA data cards were widely adopted by mainstream European carriers, and specifically used by Vodafone in large quantities. In addition, Huawei’s UMTS handsets have entered the Asia Pacific and European markets. Our CDMA handsets have achieved great success in Asia Pacific, Latin America and China, and were deployed by many leading carriers including TATA of India. Huawei’s CDMA handset, C218, was well received in the market and achieved a total sales volume of over 2 million units in 2005. In June 2005, Huawei’s first commercial 3G handset, the U626, won “Best 3G Handset” awarded by the Charlton Media Group in Singapore.

From the network perspective, ALL IP and FMC will be key trends in the next three to five years. The telecommunications network will be undergoing end-to-end changes in all layers including the service layer, control layer, bearer network, access network and terminals. Even carriers’ positioning and business models may need to change.
Posts and Telecommunications News, an authoritative media in China’s telecommunications industry. In 2006, Huawei will make further investments in wireless terminals, and strengthen R&D capabilities and the marketing network to reinforce its leading position. Huawei expects its total sales volume of wireless terminals to exceed 25 million units in 2006.
The development towards ALL IP architecture will gradually change the “vertical network,” characterized by technologies such as PSTN, SDH, ATM and FR, and services such as voice, data and Internet, into a flattened, “horizontal network.” The most direct driver of FMC originates from the need to upgrade the customer experience so access to the same experience can be achieved via any terminal from any location at any time. FMC also lowers OPEX and improves efficiency. FMC includes industry convergence (including the telecoms, IT,
content & media and consumer electronics industries), service convergence (including voice, data, multimedia and content), network convergence (including a unified service network, a unified control network, a unified packet switched bearing network and a unified BOSS) and the convergence of terminals (such as dual-mode terminals and intelligent terminals). FMC is not simply a technology or a characteristic. ALL IP and FMC encompass the transformation and upgrade of an entire network, requiring overall end-to-end considerations. From the service perspective, the main services that carriers provide today such as bandwidth leasing (e.g. wholesale and leased lines) and voice services cannot meet the requirements of future customer demands and market competition. With development of globalization of information, carriers need to focus on new services, namely multi-play services for consumers and ICT services for business users. IPTV is currently the most promising technology to enter the individual consumer market, while the ability to provide integrated solutions which include solution design, service hosting, service outsourcing, service consulting and business process outsourcing will be a key area of concern for future business users. Meanwhile, the business model of carriers will change from the “Bit Pipe” model to “Service” provisioning. During this transformation, openness, cooperation and value chain integration will be crucial for success.

Core Network
Bearer Network
Due to the strengthening of network standardization and the trend towards more open networks at the core layer, it is not possible for networks which integrate switching, control and services to adapt to the development of future services. Thus, it is the industry’s consensus that IMS will become the future core network.
With the development of broadband and multimedia services, the traditional bearer network with SDH/ATM cannot meet the demands of future services. Currently, there are two main trends that can be seen in the bearer network: packetization and intelligence. The aim of these two trends is to simplify network layers and increase the amount of intelligent features in order to realize a “data perceptive” transmission network, thereby reducing network complexity and operating cost.
However, from the current deployment perspective, IMS is fit for multi-media services which will distinguish it from other services. But IMS still faces a number of inherent problems such as handling voice, QoS, IP security, terminal match, as well as cost. Meanwhile softswitch has established its role as a bridge for IMS, especially in the mobile field, due to its proven ability in solving voice. Thus, softswitch and IMS will likely co-exist in harmony for a long time. Huawei’s softswitch has been deployed on a large scale, and the company has accumulated rich experience in areas such as IP QoS, IP security and IP maintenance. Huawei intends to utilize this experience and expertise in the development of our IMS. Because softswitch is future-oriented and takes into account long-term results, it can easily migrate to the IMS network through software
Packetization will have an impact in two areas: the metro network and backbone network. Carrier Ethernet + NG-WDM will become the main model for building metro networks, while TSR + DWDM will become the preference for backbone networks. All services including voice, data and multimedia will be transmitted using the same IP technology. upgrades that protect carriers’ investment and guarantee service continuity. In addition, unified user data management is an important characteristic of the future core network and also serves as an important foundation for providing a unified service experience (one customer account, one bill, one service password, etc.). Huawei’s integrated HLR is a user management solution for the future converged network. So IMS is not only an important way to realize FMC and ALL IP, but is also the key to the creation of a unified control layer.
With the growing importance of IP in telecom networks, carrier-class IP networks must be available in order to maintain service quality for users in the new technology system. Based on the “operable and manageable” concept that we have been following since 2000 and through many years of continuous innovation, Huawei proposed and implemented the concept of the IP Telecom Network in 2003. Today we have completed end-to-end control and management of the IP network and have laid a solid theoretical foundation for more telecom-based IP.

will extend into the access layer to address the great demands of future large-scale broadband development. In this area, Huawei has proposed the creative concept of GE-ADM, which has become one of the key features in NG-WDM. Intelligence can be seen from two different perspectives. On one hand, it can be seen through the intelligent control on each layer of the transmission network. In this situation, automatic routing and configuration via dynamic signaling can be realized on each of the different layers of SDH, WDM, Ethernet and IP. On the other hand, intelligence can be seen from the transmission of the interaction between different layers, especially the interaction between the packet layer (Ethernet and IP) and the optical layer (WDM and OTN) to realize a “data perceptive” transmission network. This improves the automation degree and application rate of the network, the service response time and customer satisfaction, and also reduces the operation and maintenance cost of the network.
Ethernet is also attracting more attention due to its simplicity, affordability and broad scale application. However, Ethernet needs to provide guaranteed services like a telecom network. In 2003, Huawei proposed the idea of V-Switch in the Ethernet field and put it into operation. Currently, Huawei’s V-Switch is widely deployed. In order to respond to the increasing popularity of packet-switched services, the optical system needs to adapt to the trend of packet switching. Thus, NG-WDM for packet transmission will be widely applied in the next three to five years and 25

Core Network
Bearer Network
Due to the strengthening of network standardization and the trend towards more open networks at the core layer, it is not possible for networks which integrate switching, control and services to adapt to the development of future services. Thus, it is the industry’s consensus that IMS will become the future core network.
With the development of broadband and multimedia services, the traditional bearer network with SDH/ATM cannot meet the demands of future services. Currently, there are two main trends that can be seen in the bearer network: packetization and intelligence. The aim of these two trends is to simplify network layers and increase the amount of intelligent features in order to realize a “data perceptive” transmission network, thereby reducing network complexity and operating cost.

Access Network
Service Network
At the access network layer, the major trends for the next three to five years are broadbandization and packetization for both wireline and wireless access. The current trend in the wireline access field is “more optical and less copper” with FTTx becoming the primary way to build a network. In developed regions, mainstream carriers will provide each subscriber with 20-50M bandwidth in the next few years to support the development of high-bandwidth services, especially video services. Generally, in the next few years, when considering factors as bandwidth, coverage and cost, FTTB/C + ADSL2+/VDSL will become primary network models while FTTH will become a complementary method for network construction in new home zones.
Currently, the service layer is built largely around voice service. With an increase in data services, the focus of the service layer will shift toward integrated services and customer experience. There will also be multiple service platforms for different user groups and services such as the multimedia communications platform for personal users, the media and information platform for home users and individual users (typical services including broadband portal and IPTV), and the IT platform for business users (typical services including software hosting and outsourcing). These platforms exist in a relationship that is both independent and cooperative at the same time, with unified user data at the core.
In the wireless access field, technologies such as HSPA, WiMAX, LTE and AIE will push forward the development of packetization and broadbandization. Meanwhile, intelligent terminals (handsets) and mobile PCs will greatly increase the demand for higher bandwidth. It is important to note that, in the next five years or more, multiple access technologies will co-exist in harmony as there will be no single technology that can satisfy all application situations when factors such as bandwidth, coverage, mobility and cost are considered simultaneously. Thus, seamless mobility between multiple access technologies will be critical and will become a vital element in realizing FMC.

Financial Report
The multimedia communications platform and the media and information platform provide multi-play services for home users and individual users, while the multimedia communications platform and the IT platform provide integrated solutions - namely ICT services - for business users. In the future service network, NG-SDP will become the core technology, and the ability to integrate the entire supply chain and experience marketing will be the key to ensuring carriers’ success. The next three to five years is a pivotal period for telecoms transformation. Network development is moving toward ALL IP architecture and FMC, while technologies such as IMS, carrier-class IP, seamless mobility and NG-SDP will prove to be crucial in helping carriers carry out network transformation in the future. Huawei will focus on innovation and investment in the areas of ALL IP and FMC to ensure that there will be no discrepancy in the experience and services that customers enjoy via any terminal, anywhere, and at anytime.
