"Huawei and GLAND have a close and long-standing partnership. The headquarters of Huawei Technologies Thailand has been in G Tower Grand, a subsidiary of GLAND, since we officially started our business in Thailand in 1999. In 2017, Huawei also launched Huawei Open Lab Bangkok in the same building to promote digital skills development in Thailand, create new innovations and support the country's goal of becoming the ASEAN digital hub. We hope that the cooperation between Huawei and GLAND will strengthen Thailand's real estate sector and fulfill Huawei's commitment to helping Thailand evolve in the digital era. We would like to bring digital technology to everyone, every home, and every organization to create a fully connected, intelligent Thailand," said Abel Deng, Chief Executive Officer, Huawei Technologies (Thailand).
"Thailand is evolving towards a fully digital society and will become an important digital hub in ASEAN through the government's national strategy: Thailand 4.0. It is also a strategic market for foreign investment and trade, especially from China, which is the world's technology leader. This cooperation will enable us to leverage Huawei's expertise to raise the potential for innovation creation in mixed-use projects such as retail spaces, shopping centers, office buildings, residential buildings, and hotels - including GLAND's subsidiaries. We are creating a modern and perfect 'Smart Digital Township' that helps drive business growth and helps real estate businesses adapt to a rapidly changing world," added Naparat Srivanvit, Chief Executive Officer, Grand Canal Land plc.
The cooperation between Central Pattana, led by GLAND and Huawei, will develop a comprehensive, intelligent ecosystem by creating Smart Digital Townships for GLAND's real estate projects through five key elements:
- Smart Building: Using world-class technology to develop smart buildings that raise the building occupants' convenience and be environmentally friendly.
- Smart Asset Management: Using 5G technology in asset management, access point technology, ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi 6, IoT modules, and intelligent cameras.
- Smart Hospitality and Retail: Connecting the fiber backbone system to become the smart hotels and shopping centers of the future.
- Smart Campus and Living: Creating safe building and living systems including intelligent parking systems.
- Intelligent Connectivity: Intelligent connection with AI (artificial intelligence), video & imaging technology, fiber optics and cloud storage.
Previously, Huawei partnered with Central Pattana holding the 'GREEN FOR FUTURE' exhibition in the activity area at centralwOrld shopping center. This event enabled Huawei to launch the latest Huawei FusionSolar Residential Smart PV solutions. The solutions enable householders to produce clean electrical energy, reduce cost, and be environmentally friendly. The clean energy solutions will help promote carbon neutrality and in reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero, demonstrating the companies' commitment to shaping a better future for Thailand and the environment and driving Thailand as an important digital hub of the ASEAN region.
With a digital-first lifestyle, Huawei Enterprise continues to develop innovative solutions and build a digital ecosystem that allows everyone to grow, innovate and be successful. In November 2021, Huawei developed more than 100 solutions, covering more than 10 different industries, including smart cities, finance, energy, transportation, and the manufacturing sector. Huawei's smart city solutions are deployed in more than 700 cities in 40 countries and regions.
Huawei has integrated ICT technologies to develop intelligent campus solutions that enable intelligent and low-carbon campuses for over 800 customers from sectors like government, energy, manufacturing, real estate, and logistics. In addition, Huawei actively participates in standardization by leading a work group that recently launched a project to develop the first set of Chinese national standard for intelligent campuses. We have also built a partner program, attracting over 133 partners to our intelligent connectivity ecosystem for intelligent campuses.
