Malta, Huawei sign deal on 5G technology

MALTA and Chinese technology giant Huawei signed a memorandum of understand on Saturday that will improve Maltese businesses via 5G, especially digital infrastructure for smart cities.

The agreement, which was signed by Huawei Technologies Italia CEO Miao Xiaoyang and Maltese Parliamentary Secretary for Digital Economy Silvio Schembri, comes two years after Malta and Huawei signed another MOU that had seen the company test its flagship 5G Internet connectivity in Malta.

Miao said that the technology would offer greater bandwidth and facilitated mass connections that could eventually be harnessed to create smart cities.

Schembri said Huawei would commit to sustaining academic research with a focus on addressing real world challenges related to public safety, video analytics, data processing and IT systems.

The MOU would also create opportunities through education, starting with an ICT training program for Maltese students at Huawei’s training center in China. Schembri said he was happy that Huawei had selected Malta to test its “avant garde 5G technology.
