Huawei, a privately owned company headquartered in China, was founded in 1987. The company, which employs approximately 165,000 individuals, reported $122.5B in revenue as of 2025. Primarily known for its telecoms products, Huawei functions as a global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices. It offers solutions across four key domains: telecom networks, IT, smart devices, and cloud services.
The US government is providing a nearly $100 million loan to Africell, Africa’s only American-owned telecommunications provider, to expand trusted mobile network technology across the continent and challenge Huawei's dominant market presence. This follows the commencement of a US federal trial against Huawei Technologies on September 9, 2026, in Brooklyn, New York, over an alleged two-decade-long racketeering conspiracy. The trial marks a significant criminal case in the ongoing technology and geopolitical confrontation between Washington and Beijing. Separately, Huawei Technologies unveiled a 7.2-terabit-per-second near-packaged optics (NPO) module for AI data centers, while also working to shape emerging optical-interconnect standards as AI clusters test existing limits.
