Huawei vows to boost Thailand’s tech ecosystem as it marks 20 years in Thailand

By THE NATION

 

Abel Deng, CEO of Huawei Thailand

 

Huawei Thailand on Thursday (October 24) announced its mission to build a thriving technology ecosystem in celebration of its 20th anniversary in Thailand.

 

In line with the theme “Together for a Fully Connected, Intelligent Thailand”, Huawei said it was committed to bringing the latest information and communications technology to the country.

 

“This year marks a significant milestone for Huawei, as we are celebrating our 20th anniversary in Thailand," said Abel Deng, CEO of Huawei Thailand. "After 20 years in Thailand, we understand the market deeper than others and know how important innovation is for the future of Thailand.”

 

"The key to a country’s innovation ability lies in talents while the key to a country’s digital economy development is the industrial ecosystem. We have the responsibility to contribute more to Thailand, to shape a fully connected, intelligent Thailand together,” Deng said.

 

Since its establishment in Thailand in 1999, Huawei has been an important contributor to the development of Thailand’s ICT industry.

 

The company successfully participated in the construction of 2G, 3G and 4G networks with innovative technologies.

 

“We are so proud to say that we made great contribution to Thailand in the past two decades. We are committed to be the enabler of Thailand 4.0, which fulfills our vision of ‘Bringing digital to every person, home and organisation for a fully connected, intelligent world’,” Deng said.

 

Huawei has established its Southeast Asia regional headquarters, OpenLab Bangkok, Huawei Cloud Data Center, 5G Testbed, etc. Now, it has more than 3,200 employees in Thailand, 75 per cent of whom are locals.

 

In 2018, Huawei’s procurement in Thailand reached US$196 million.

 

Deng also revealed that the Thai government and Huawei Thailand had recently signed a memorandum of understanding. With this strategic MoU on ‘Nurturing Thai Digital Workforce for Innovative and Sustainable Society’, Huawei will strengthen knowledge-sharing and skills transfer and work with the Thai government, industrial organisations and enterprises to cultivate ICT digital talents and speed up Thailand 4.0.

 

Huawei will establish the Huawei Academy in Thailand, to explore and cultivate ICT talents, and enable Thailand 4.0.

 

With cutting-edge technologies such as Cloud, AI and Supercomputing, Huawei will enable the digital transformation of government departments and industries, facilitate startup and SME innovations, incubate innovative ecosystem based on 5G and drive Thailand’s innovation capabilities, in order to jointly build the prosperous industrial ecosystem for the fully-connected, intelligent society, Deng said.

 

“5G technology will support the development of AI, and if Thailand could be ahead, it will be faster than others. 5G will be the significant infrastructure, Cloud + AI will create a digital economy. We respect the digital sovereignty of Thailand, startups and SMEs from the world around can plant their “own crops” in the “fertile soil”, the open source platform provided by Huawei. With the digital ecosystem, Thailand can establish its own digital society,” said Deng.

 

As part of the celebrations marking Huawei Thailand’s 20th anniversary, Huawei will be showcasing its new vision of Thailand and achievements in creating rich ecosystems in Thailand on the theme of “Together for a Fully Connected, Intelligent Thailand” during the Digital Thailand Big Bang 2019 to be held at Bitec, Bangkok, from October 28-30.

 

The event will be hosted by Digital Economy Promotion Agency, which is under the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society.

 

The Huawei Thailand pavilion at the Digital Thailand Big Bang 2019 will feature 400 square metres of floor space divided into 5 zones covering the fully connected smart ecosystem in Thailand and showcasing Huawei’s end-to-end portfolio of products, solutions and services in 5G, 5G ecosystem, smart city, Huawei cloud, and Huawei mobile.

 

These events will also help introduce a new ecosystem strategy from Huawei Thailand.

 

Huawei will be showcasing its vision and achievements in creating rich ecosystems in Thailand – including 5G innovations, smart cities, cloud + AI, and mobile developers.

 

These leading technologies will bring digital innovations to every person, home and organisation.

 

Experts from Huawei will join the conversation on many different topics to be explored at the event – ranging from 5G and the Internet of Things to smart city, cloud, and AI.

Don't think for one minute that there is nothing not correct about the espionage charges the USA laid against Huawei. There is a reason they are co0mpletely banned in the USA and google dropped them. You could not give me one of those phones, but sooner or later the gig will be up for all of us and all our data and stuff will be monitored in one big file. Chinese are the absolute worst and showing others how to do it with added intelligence.

By Digital innovations, do they not mean spyware technology in every home, and organisation.

The only difference between Huawei and the other brands is Huawei shares their data with China while everyone else shares it with the USA. That’s all this is. 
 

You and your data are already being monitored.

The sharing of data part is mostly through end-user devices, i.e. phones and computers. Huawei's main business is selling telecommunication gear, not phones and computers or apps. It's easy to find out if a telecommunication device is secretly sending data to somewhere, so it would be stupid for Huawei to do that.

Almost every app that you use on your phone or computer sends data to somewhere so it's easier to request data from application service providers directly instead of using sniffers or embedded backdoors in the telecommunication backbone because of the difficulties in decrypting network traffic. And that's what the Prism program was about. The servers of your favourite search engine, e-mail provider, social network, game, etc.  are accessible by the US government:

PRISM (surveillance program)
 

Quote

PRISM was publicly revealed when classified documents about the program were leaked to journalists of The Washington Post and The Guardian by Edward Snowden – at the time an NSA contractor – during a visit to Hong Kong. The leaked documents included 41 PowerPoint slides, four of which were published in news articles.

The documents identified several technology companies as participants in the PRISM program, including Microsoft in 2007, Yahoo! in 2008, Google in 2009, Facebook in 2009, Paltalk in 2009, YouTube in 2010, AOL in 2011, Skype in 2011 and Apple in 2012. The speaker's notes in the briefing document reviewed by The Washington Post indicated that "98 percent of PRISM production is based on Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft".

No wonder China requires American service providers such as Google to locate their servers in China if they want to do business in China. This policy is no different from many countries where foreign banks were not allowed to base their servers overseas.

Yeah, I really don't care if the US monitors my stuff to a point because they aren't concerned about me one iota, but I do care if China or here does. But the key is only to a point and not the entire nine naked yards.

Make sure you use an American-branded Wifi router if you really think the spying is done on the communication backbone side. Trust me - the spying is done on the end-user devices. Even if you use a Huawei phone, most of the data is sent to US servers because most of their phone models use Google Services.

Yeah unfortunately it is a no win situation for us. AI has all by the balls.
