Huawei South Africa's OpenLab, located at its Woodmead campus in Johannesburg, allows mining companies to experience, test and co-create digital mining solutions in a practical environment before considering deployment in their own operations. The facility demonstrates an underground personnel positioning system developed with South African partner MPI-Holdings, which combines Bluetooth-based positioning technology with Huawei's network and software platform to provide real-time visibility of personnel in underground tunnels, and the MetaWorks digital twin platform, which brings together information from different systems to create a unified view of mine layouts, equipment, workers, vehicles, alarms and production status.
MTN Nigeria and Huawei deploy world's first commercial sub-1 GHz massive MIMOMTN Nigeria partnered with Huawei to complete the world's first commercial deployment of sub-1 GHz massive multiple-input multiple-output technology, with low band LTE traffic surging by 104% and downlink user-perceived rate increasing by 28% following activation on the live network. The solution doubles downlink LTE capacity compared to 4T4R and can expand capacity by 3.2 times when evolving to New Radio in the future.
