- Huawei targets influencers to stimulate global growth 10gbe and fttr
- China leads the adoption of the FTTr while global expansion is still far behind
- Huawei wants industry cooperation to unlock HD video and 5G potential
Huawei has described a bold plan to stimulate the growth of telecommunications through China by targeting a new generation of users eager for data, with books and workers in the concert economy at the center.
Speaking to MWC Shanghai 2025, rotating president Eric Xu called on carriers to rethink their strategies, highlighting the 130 million professional influencers expected by 2030.
These users, he said, already generate much higher average income by user because of their high dependence on video and vocal services, traffic models which will soon require a general deployment of the 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBE) and Backhaul networks.
Fttr everywhere
Delivery drivers are another group that Huawei looks closely, because their vocal use and video consumption already exceed national averages – with XU noting that they represent “a new rapid growth of high -value users”.
Huawei’s vision includes four main initiatives: meet the requirements of emerging users, push HD video traffic, activate 5G in connected vehicles and deploy fibers in the room (FTTR) to micro and small businesses to take advantage of IA opportunities.
The FTTR provides high-speed fiber connections directly with each room in a house or a company, offering faster and more stable Wi-Fi with a low latency, ideal for live broadcast, cloud-based work and other strip-out-intensity applications.
China already has around 75 million FTTR users, far exceeding the rest of the world, which has less than 500,000.
HD video is an area which, according to Huawei, remains underused, despite high demand from consumers. XU noted that only 22% of mobile video traffic in major Chinese cities is in full HD or more, partly due to power constraints on devices and the limitation of OTT services.
The company also requests cooperation through the value chain, from network operators to content platforms and apparatus manufacturers.
In 5g for cars, XU has recognized that costs remain an obstacle. “Car manufacturers do not want to connect cars with 5G,” he said, citing high license fees and equipment costs. He urged GSMA to help reduce these charges.
