Huawei’s Contributions during Pandemic
The Inspiration Award 2021 was awarded to Huawei Indonesia for its active, consistent, and continuous efforts in helping Indonesia face the pandemic through its contributions in ICT.
Huawei Indonesia has offered a diverse variety of contributions, including building an emergency telecommunications infrastructure on Pulau Sebaru at the Thousand Islands Administrative Region when the pandemic first struck in the beginning of 2020.
Huawei Indonesia also takes supporting connectivity seriously; together with Telkomsel and the government via BAKTI Kominfo, it brought 4G LTE broadband networks to Indonesia’s outermost regions.
Thanks to the synergy, connection issues when conducting online classes and other activities during the pandemic were expected to affect fewer people, all the while aiming for democratization of 4G LTE broadband networks. That remote learning in order to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic no longer became a critical issue in those areas was the expected outcome of this cooperation.
In healthcare, Huawei Indonesia offered support for telemedicine and equipping communications equipment in critical hotspots, including in 600 reference hospitals.
Huawei also provided cloud solutions based on AI to accelerate diagnosis of COVID-19 patients by up to six times faster, with an accuracy rate of up to 93 percent. Huawei Indonesia recently arranged the shipments of medical equipment to provide medical supplies and equipment as part of the nationwide fight against the coronavirus.
In education, Huawei Indonesia lent universities its e-Learning Management System. In addition, Huawei is also actively engaging in a series of knowledge- and technologysharing programs for universities all over Indonesia in order to yield highly competent digital talents amidst the pandemic through the 100 Thousand Digital Talents program.
These programs are held in collaboration with the government, industry, academia, communities, and the media and educates participants about the most advanced digital technologies as well as cybersecurity.
Huawei Indonesia held “Berbagi Untuk Negeri – I Do Care” in 15 cities in Indonesia to commemorate Eid al-Fitri and Eid al-Adha 1442H. Through the program, Huawei symbolically offers donation to 30 orphanages and 30 mosques from Jakarta with strict health protocols, followed by other cities simultaneously, making use of live-streaming technology.
