Japan lose Huawei? How do you see the Japanese community?
At present, China is Japan’s largest trading partner, and the exclusion of Chinese companies’ products is undoubtedly incalculable. Because Japan does not cooperate with Chinese companies, it means that in the field of communication, only products that are costly, slow to update, and gradually drift away from the mainstream of the world will eventually be damaged by Japanese consumers. In less than a week, Japan is about to enter the order and the first year. The first major event after the change is the G20 Leaders Summit to be held in Osaka on June 28.
When the global pace of 5G commercialization is accelerating, what new trends are there in Japan that is about to enter a new era? As one of the US ally, what are the subtleties of Huawei’s attitude towards the globally recognized 5G leader? Our reporter has compiled and interviewed the recent voices of all walks of life in Japan, presenting the status of “Huawei in Japan” to readers as comprehensively as possible. The question is, can Japan lose its Huawei in the first year of 5G? Obviously, not cooperating with Huawei will be a major loss for any country!
On April 10, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan allocated 5G network spectrum to four telecom operators: NTT Docomo, KDDI, SoftBank and Lotte Communications. Among them, by the end of 2024, the highest investment in equipment and 5G coverage was NTT Docomo, about 795 billion yen, and the planned 5G coverage rate reached 97% nationwide.
Huawei concentrated on developing 5G technology in 2009, and Massive MIMO is one of the key technologies of 5G. In 2016, SoftBank (Softbank) joined hands with Huawei to develop and become the first operator to commercialize Massive MIMO technology in the world. In 2017, SoftBank purchased a base station of approximately 17 billion yen from Huawei and ZTE. The current 4G network also uses Huawei’s equipment. The 5G demonstration experiment was also conducted with Huawei.
According to Professor Jiang Qihao, a professor at the Department of Information Science and Engineering at the University of Tokyo, Huawei is ahead of the world in 5G R&D. Abandoning Huawei means having to slow down 5G deployments in the long run, in terms of technology development and social development. For the sake of it, there is no one who benefits.

Keeping electrical infrastructure running smoothly is a major challenge for utility providers around the globe. During a major power summit in South Africa, Huawei joined forces with regional utility companies to address these infrastructure struggles. Together, the groups officially launched a new smart substation solution designed specifically to update and digitize older electrical grids across the region.
Replacing manual inspections with remote monitoring
Traditional power grid maintenance requires teams of technicians to physically drive out to distant, isolated power substations to check for damage or equipment errors. This manual process is slow, expensive, and can leave communities without power for long stretches if a fault occurs in a remote area.
The new technology from the company completely changes this dynamic by deploying automated private wireless networks directly at the power sites. These networks connect to smart camera systems and remote sensors. Instead of spending days traveling, utility operators can now perform a full, detailed inspection of a distant substation remotely in just a few minutes. This immediate visibility helps companies spot physical errors before they cause widespread blackouts, keeping the power on for local businesses and homes.
Cutting maintenance costs and protecting hardware
Beyond remote viewing, the smart solution uses advanced data analysis to monitor the health of expensive electrical transformers. The system can automatically detect unusual heat spikes or abnormal vibrations, sending instant alerts to maintenance teams. By catching these mechanical problems early, utility companies can fix minor issues instead of replacing entire pieces of destroyed hardware, saving millions of dollars in operational costs.
Representatives from the company emphasized that building a reliable, stable power supply is absolutely vital for the economic growth of the region. By merging physical power systems with digital networking tools, the company hopes to create a more resilient power grid that can easily adapt to growing energy demands. The technology is currently being prepared for deployment across several regional power networks immediately.
The digital banking landscape is moving past basic online applications into an era dominated by automated workflows and highly personalized assistance.
At its major intelligent finance summit in Shanghai, Huawei launched a massive update to its core banking software line. The brand-new Financial Data Intelligence Solution 6.0 is designed to help global financial institutions safely transition into a new model of automated banking.
The rise of automated banking
According to executives from the company, digital finance is changing because smart software can now organize and execute complex tasks entirely on its own.
The company envisions a future where every bank customer has access to a smart virtual steward, and every bank employee has a personal digital assistant to handle repetitive paperwork.
To achieve this vision, the company introduced a flexible software architecture that utilizes open-source models. This layout allows global banks to scale up their digital operations across high-value areas while keeping expansion costs under control. The solution is built with a heavy emphasis on data security, ensuring that sensitive customer financial records remain completely safe from outside threats.
Better fraud detection and personalized marketing
The new software package introduces major upgrades across three key areas: data platforms, data management, and daily applications. To prove the real-world value of these upgrades, the company highlighted new tools built alongside its global ecosystem partners.
First, the company developed a smart marketing tool that can utilize over 5,000 distinct customer traits. This deep level of detail allows banks to offer highly specific financial advice and product suggestions tailored to the exact needs of an individual. Second, the company rolled out a joint anti-fraud safety system. This security tool can analyze a digital transaction and flag potential scams in an incredibly fast 30 milliseconds, representing a 40-fold leap in overall operational efficiency.
The company also focused heavily on system reliability. The underlying system infrastructure has been hardened to support sudden 10-fold spikes in online traffic without crashing. This ensures that banking apps stay online during major shopping events or economic shifts. Furthermore, the company upgraded its migration software, allowing banks to completely revamp their old backend systems with zero daily operational downtime.
Enterprise data needs are changing rapidly due to the sudden rise of massive computing workloads. To address these demands, Huawei used its annual innovative data infrastructure forum in Paris to reveal a new full-stack infrastructure strategy. The company is introducing high-density hardware and smart management software to help businesses process large amounts of data much faster.
Massive scale-out storage hardware
The biggest physical hardware announcement from the event is the latest version of the OceanStor Pacific scale-out storage system. The company managed to pack an impressive 11 petabytes of data capacity into a compact server chassis that takes up only two units of rack space. This extreme density allows corporate data centers to save massive amounts of physical floor space while drastically cutting down on electricity costs.
To help companies manage data across different locations, the company introduced a unified data solution. This software allows businesses to safely import and search through hundreds of billions of data points in real time, even if the files are spread across entirely different physical server buildings.
Solving the data speed bottleneck
When running massive data tasks, modern computer systems often face speed bottlenecks while waiting for information to load. To fix this issue, the company is introducing a brand-new memory storage system designed to accelerate performance. This technology acts as a ultra-fast shared memory cache, which the company claims can reduce the initial response lag of a data request by up to 90 percent.
The company also launched a management tool that coordinates how data moves through a system. This manager improves overall accuracy by 30 percent. Alongside the storage upgrades, the company introduced a special framework that allows businesses to deploy new operational profiles with a single click, completely removing the need for complex software coding.
Finally, the company introduced a new natural language platform designed to create digital workflows quickly. This platform helps businesses set up automated digital tasks in a fraction of the time it usually takes. Executives from the company emphasized that these smart digital tools will essentially function like digital employees, serving as the core foundation for modern workplace productivity moving forward.
