Hua Yang, president for the enterprise business group for Huawei Southeast Asia, said the growth of the company in the Philippines can be attributed to its services’ affordability and its different solutions being offered.
“[We do] not only [offer] telecom services but also ICT (information and communications technology) solutions,” Mr. Yang said at the launch of a training program.
“We continue bringing affordable solutions ... that has driven us in this market,” Mr. Yang added.
The firm sells handsets, dongles for broadband Internet and “various equipment” to local telcos such as the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. and its mobile network provider Smart Communications, Inc.
Huawei also counts as clients Ayala-led Globe Telecom, Inc., and Gokongwei’s mobile brand Sun Cellular, which is operated by Digital Telecommunications Philippines, Inc.
Seventy percent of wireless voice traffic in the Philippines allegedly goes through Huawei’s platforms, while 80% of household Internet traffic also goes through the firm’s platforms, Nathan Wang, vice-president for the enterprise business group for Huawei Southeast Asia, said.
The firm has grown to over 400 employees in the Philippines during its 10-year stay in the country, he added.
Huawei and Asia Pacific College, which was founded by SM Foundation and IBM Philippines, inked an agreement yesterday for the provision of a training center.
