Huawei to sell undersea cable business
Huawei Marine Systems, in which Huawei holds a 51 percent stake, lays undersea fiber optic cables between continents in much the same way that Microsoft, Facebook, and Google have been doing. It was established in 2009 and has laid more than 50,000km of cable across 90 projects, according to its website. In recent times, however, the toxicity of Huawei’s reputation as an alleged Chinese spying facilitator has made it increasingly difficult for Huawei Marine Systems to win contracts, as the FT reports. That reports cites Fergus Hanson from the International Cyber Policy Centre at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, who says “It’s becoming a more difficult environment when trying to negotiate deals to build cables because [Huawei] is so much in the spotlight.”
Undersea cables are the backbone of global internet traffic. Huawei has been gaining share in the market dominated by U.S. firm SubCom, Japan’s NEC Corp and Europe’s Alcatel-Lucent, since Huawei Marine was established in 2008 as a joint venture with Britain’s Global Marine.
According to exchange filings, Hengtong Optic-Electric’s largest shareholder is privately owned Hengtong Group with a 15.66% stake. Hengtong Group’s founder and owner Cui Genliang is the second-largest shareholder with 14.95%.

The FutureNet World 2025 event just completed in London, bringing together over 700 industry leaders to talk about the future of network technology. The yearly gathering attracts top executives from global telecom companies, standards organizations, and technology suppliers. For the first time ever, the event created a special “Intelligent Network Best Practice Award” – and Huawei won the prize.
The company stands for its innovative work on smart, self-managing networks. Huawei’s winning technology helps telecom companies run their networks more intelligently with less human intervention. Their solution includes smart digital assistants designed for network maintenance, improving customer experience, and business operations.
These digital helpers fall into two main categories – the Mate series and the Spirit series. The technology has already been rolled out in many countries, showing impressive results across different types of networks including IP, optical, wireless, and core systems. Speaking at the event, Wang Shaosen, who leads Huawei’s smart network solutions, shared the company’s vision: “We’re committed to developing technology that makes networks smarter.
This will help telecom companies succeed with advanced 5G services and prepare for the future of 6G connectivity.
