Huawei responsive to China quake and engaged in telecom service restoration

Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. ("Huawei"), a leader in providing next-generation telecommunication networks for operators around the world actively participated in the earthquake relief efforts and reinstallment of telecom services in Sichuan, China.

A severe earthquake measured at a magnitude of 7.8 hit Wenchuan, Sichuan on 12 May 2008. Afflicted areas were completely battered and communications facilities and services destroyed.

Huawei formed a special relief team led by the company's Chairwoman and reached Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province immediately after the quake.

In the aftermath, time very often equals to life. To accelerate the process of telecom service restoration, Huawei transports emergency telecom facilities, technical experts and engineers using chartered airplanes, to save as much time as possible.

In the meantime, Huawei pooled over one hundred telecom experts from all over country and set up an on-spot team to work around the clock with the company's Sichuan Office.

The grief and sufferings of affected people resonate deeply with Huawei. The company donated CNY5 million (approximately USD714,200), while employees are also busy making voluntary donations.
