PANTHEON.tech visited Shanghai last week to attend the third annual Huawei Connect. Martin Varga shares some insights from the event.

Activate Intelligence

This year’s theme was Activate Intelligence. Huawei outlined its broad strategy to bring artificial intelligence (AI) to the masses in applications in manufacturing, autonomous driving, smart cities, IoT and other areas. AI will enable billions of new devices to be connected and transfer big data over the network.

The conference was held in Shanghai, China, at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition Center. Huawei has put a lot of resources and effort into organizing the event which has shown its direct impact on over 26,000 in the attendance. The conference was organized perfectly, to the last detail (exhibition areas, keynotes and conference area, chill-out zones, etc.).

We have witnessed the demonstrations of various smart technologies, ranging from smart city applications, smart education, smart transportation. Smart everything.

HSp

One of the most impressive technology demonstrations was an AI that was able to translate Chinese to English and vice versa, as good as a human translator could. Microsoft in cooperation with Huawei states:

“Internal tests have shown, depending on the language, up to a 23 percent better offline translation quality over competing best-in-class offline packs.”

Huawei is also building an AI ecosystem of partners, that is targeted to exceed 1 million developers over the next three years with US$140m.

Networking

We have had some interesting meetings with Huawei’s representatives. It was very pleasant to learn about Huawei’s visions for the near future. We are also glad to share the same vision for an exciting future. Huawei invests heavily into researching new technologies such as AI or IoT, in order to define practical use-cases that can be deployed into their product’s portfolio.

PANTHEON.tech, as a software development company, is strongly focused on computer networking which is related to the Huawei’s vision to integrate AI into managing network operations.

Mr. Yang Jin Director, Network Data Analytics Research Huawei Technologies Co., stated:

“Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning will abstract data to make next-generation communication breakthroughs come to life.”

Feel free to contact PANTHEON.tech if you have interest in any of the AI, AR/VR, IoT, Intent Driven Network, SDN, NFV, Big Data, and related areas. We can talk about challenges and how we can solve them together.
