Huawei was presented with the Small-cell Innovation of the Year award for its creative and leading edge portfolio AtomCell products. The AtomCell portfolio provides customers with a complete end-to-end small cell solution, including Micro, Pico, Lamp Site, and carrier-grade WIFI. This product range supports a variety of different wireless network scenarios with small cells acting as a supplement to existing macro networks. This is made possible by features such as flexible user equipment (UE) camping, handover and load balancing policies, including interference control policy.

Huawei also received the Cloud Innovation of the Year award for its Cloud FusionSphere suite of products. Four years ago, Huawei announced that they would enter the Cloud Computing marketplace and have since made significant developments in this field, which include a cloud purpose-built range of servers, storage, security and network solutions, as well as a cloud operating system. Over the past 12 to 24 months, Huawei has enhanced the FusionSphere operating system to support a variety of industry hardware platforms, as well as different hypervisors, including Xen, VMware, Hyper-V and KVM, to enable customers to protect their existing IT investment.

FusionSphere's high degree of service automation means customers no longer need to recruit servers, storage, and network and security specialists to perform low level IT infrastructure configuration. All these complicated tasks can now be automated and managed by the service provider. The net effect is a simplified, cost effective cloud solution that helps service providers speed up time-to-market while automating cloud provisioning.

Lastly, Huawei jointly received the Infrastructure Management Project of the Year award with PT XL Axiata Tbk (XL) of Indonesia. This award is based on the "Managed Services for Total Value Ownership (TVO)” project, which fulfilled XL's vision to be Indonesia's cellular champion by delivering high quality mobile services to its customers. Over fifty million XL subscribers are currently reaping the rewards of this new environment. XL is also enjoying many benefits; a substantial improvement in operational efficiency, new revenue from service growth, and an improved customer experience, which will reduce churn and create loyal, happy customers.

Mr. Yee Meng Fook, chief executive officer, PT. Huawei Services Indonesia, said, "This award demonstrates Huawei's Managed Services for the TVO solution is a keystone for the development of Managed Services in order for operators to create more business value. Huawei continues to be confident in delivering operational excellence to provide better end user experiences, customer satisfaction, and network quality for operators around the world."

Huawei, with its total end-to-end ICT portfolio, offers a convenient one stop shop delivering everything from Cloud to M2M to Networking, all in a seamless, agile, and cost effective manner. Huawei supports telecom service providers by enabling them to improve operational efficiency and customer experience, increase revenue stream and reduce cost.

The Readers' Choice Awards are held annually to recognize innovation and contributions from top telecom industry vendors operating in Asia Pacific. Participating in the selection of the award winners were service providers, telecom suppliers, and Telecom Asia subscribers. Huawei is especially proud that we were judged and selected by our customers, partners, and end users.
