At UC Today, we like to be on the cutting edge of Unified Communications, constantly exploring the latest tech and services. Since we haven’t given much of a shout-out to Huawei in the past, we thought it was time we explored what this enterprise-focused company had to offer the UC space.
Huawei is well-known for their versatile approach to unified communications, supporting globalisation and innovation across the world with the latest tech solutions and IP-based multimedia applications. With their UC portfolio, Huawei is delivering a constant stream of technology to the marketplace, intended to help customers tackle the increasingly complex demands of communication and collaboration.
Huawei For Collaboration
Huawei places their focus on designing solutions for resilient, reliable communication strategies, whether it’s voice and video conferencing or cloud computing. In a world where every enterprise seems to be searching for a way to become more connected, and more cost-effective at the same time, Huawei hopes to provide the security, versatility, and mobility that organisations need to evolve and digitally transform.
Huawei’s UC services provide security across mobile devices and terminals, to allow companies to connect to their office wherever they are, with face-to-face HD video, integrated messaging and workflow for collaboration, and open API architecture for a customised approach to UC.
Building a Custom Approach to UC
One of the factors that make Huawei so appealing and competitive in the UC space, is the fact that they provide API solutions that allow companies to customise and improve the services they need. The “Enterprise Communications” service offered by the brand connects to a range of infrastructure-based products and capabilities, in order to deliver a more integrated solution for industries regardless of their size or background.
The EC service, enterprise-grade companies can access a host of services to suit their needs, including:
- Recording, messaging, directory, and mobile systems
- Customisable management and control
- Video conferencing, PC interfaces, IP phones
- Carrier-grade gateways, endpoint devices, and networking switches
- An intuitive “Soft Console” system for central reception and call management.
Multimedia Measures for Enterprise
Huawei is focusing on setting themselves apart in the saturated UC space by providing customers with a tailor-made solution for UC. They combine mobile client apps brimming with IP communication strategies like voice calls and content sharing, with countless online services like presence and directory.
Thanks to their secure and responsible video services, companies can host video conferencing solutions in a flash, while asynchronous document browsing facilities mean that groups can collaborate over shared documents instantly.
Businesses can also choose to switch freely between video calling, IM, business voice, and multi-media solutions with a couple of clicks. The flexible deployment of the whole system, combined with the versatile scalability Huawei offer their clients could make these services perfect for enterprises who want to reduce their OPEX and CAPEX prices, while still making the most of numerous different systems.
Reliable Communications
Additionally, in an environment where security has become more important than ever to modern enterprises, Huawei has introduced a high level of resilience and performance for the companies that need it most. Since remote terminals access the Huawei network through SBC (Session Border Controller) solutions, media streams are fully encrypted for security. Additionally, UC gateways can be accessed for disaster recovery purposes.
The Huawei terminal interfaces and endpoints support the option for multi-registration, which means that you won’t suffer as much with single point of failure issues, and there are features like local switching, power-off survival, and regeneration at local gateways to enhance reliability.
Overall, the full UC portfolio from Huawei is a structure intended for unbeatable support and enterprise agility.
