More fundamentally, it also reshapes the way we live and work. Huawei strives to leverage innovative all-optical network technologies to continuously promote the sustainable development of the social economy, people's livelihood, culture, environment, and ecosystems and build an inclusive digital world that enhances society.

To enhance education, Huawei has helped Pengan, a county in Sichuan, Southwest China, build an all-optical campus network, providing high-speed broadband to more than 80 rural schools.
