[Singapore, October 7, 2015] Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today said it has been named winner in two categories at the LTE Asia Awards 2015. The company took first place in the “Biggest Contribution to 5G Development” category, and jointly won the “Best Innovation in Heterogeneous Networks” award with StarHub, Singapore’s first fully integrated info-communications operator. The awards ceremony was held on October 6th at Suntec City, Singapore.

The Biggest Contribution to 5G Development award recognizes Huawei’s efforts in defining 5G standards, providing critical foundations for development of 5G technology. Huawei firmly believes in an evolutionary business strategy that protects and maximizes the potential for 4G investments and also cultivates market demand for 5G. With this development, operators will be able to expand their leadership in wider markets over the years to come. Apart from contributing market leading vision and insights, Huawei has influenced the industry by accelerating the standardization of 5G, providing and verifying key technologies, exploring new markets, and planning commercial launches.

Winning the Best Innovation in Heterogeneous Networks award was the Innovative Smart Mall project jointly developed with Starhub. Early this year, StarHub commercially deployed Huawei’s small cells solution LampSite in The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, enhancing indoor mobile coverage and capacity for customers to enjoy faster downloads and enhanced video experience at LTE-Advanced speeds of up to 300Mbps.

“The regional awards are recognition of Huawei’s contribution to the industry and of a successful industry partnership,” said Lim Chee Siong, Chief Marketing Officer of Huawei Southern Pacific.  “We will continue to focus on technology innovation and commercial deployment initiatives to help operators meet the varying needs of their customers. Huawei will also continue its efforts to establish a global unified standard and achieve a win-win industry chain in close collaboration with the whole industry.”
