China affiliated tech company, Huawei, has introduced 11 innovative scenario-based digital energy solutions for its customers in the public services, transportation and manufacturing sectors with 5G network.

5G uses just one-tenth the energy per bit of 4G. But, 5G will create a surge in power consumption due to the traffic increase that’s predicted to total dozens of times current levels. This issue can only be addressed by thinking green from the start – at the design stage – of large-scale construction.

Peng Zhongyang, the Huawei’s board member and president of its Enterprise Business Group, who announced this during an ongoing summit organized within the framework of HUAWEI CONNECT 2021 on the theme: “Digital Energy, Powering the Low Carbon Era” by zoom in Abuja.

He said the summit explores new ICT innovations for industrial applications of “Diving into Digital for a Brighter Future” proposing three focus areas of scenario, models, and eco-system.

Zhongyang said it aims to address challenges, seize new opportunities for digital transformation, and create value for the industry by continuously working with partners.

He noted: “In the public sector, the three key solutions of City Intelligent Twins were released, namely Unified Urban Governance in One Network, Assisted Operation Service, and Zero Trust Security. It continuously helps governments transform their administrative processes, enabling the construction of a new type of smart city that is more comfortable, innovative, humanistic, resilient, and green.
