Huawei announced the launch of its Site Cloud platform in the Russian market at a recent industry event in Moscow.
Site Cloud integrates current global information about existing sites and potential sites (including public resources such as electrical poles, lamp poles, billboards, and supermarkets) into one integrated platform that allows cloud sharing of site information. When considering where to construct a site, operators can find and select the most suitable site location in Site Cloud, which helps them quickly deploy their networks.
During the event, Huawei signed a MoU with Russian tower operator Service Telecom, Prime Telecom, and pole facility partner Vitrulux to create an alliance that will cooperate on a wide range of site-related issues.
Meanwhile, the Moscow municipal government also detailed the strategies it has taken to accelerate 5G's deployment based on increasing access to municipal administration resources and simplifying processes. These strategies have further improved social infrastructure, boosted sharing of public resources, and reduced industry investment overlap.

As we get ever-closer to the arrival of the 5G era, operators will face many challenges when first deploying 5G networks. These challenges include restricted space and load bearing for sites, difficulty in site acquisition, long deployment cycles, and high operating expenses, among others.
Geng Fei, VP of Wireless and Cloud Core Network Marketing, Huawei
Huawei is helping Russian network operators construct simplified, green, and upgradeable 5G sites through innovative solutions that include antenna, baseband, radio frequency, energy power, and transmission solutions.
