Ken Hu, the Deputy Chairman of Huawei said in his opening speech that the 5G rollout by Huawei is in the fast lane as there are more than 400 5G devices available globally. He said that 5G is transforming various industries through Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) guidance & inspection, multifunctional robots, remote diagnosis, and remote ultrasound.

He then addressed the enablement of smart ports for a better and safer workplace with 5G, which has increased the efficiency at work by 20 percent and decreased labor costs by 50 percent.

He added that it is important to come up with 5G business models that can fits everyone as the adoption for consumers and enterprises may differ.

“Every industry is willing to use it but they need to identify the need and access the practicality of the 5G connectivity, cloud services, and integration,” he concluded.
