Years of close cooperation with Huawei contributed to China Mobile Beijing achieving a net growth of more than 1 million home broadband users in 2017, as well as improving revenue structure and market presence. Through the joint innovation efforts described in the new MoU, the two parties are endeavoring to establish a long-term partnership in premium broadband, focusing on big video services and premium broadband innovation. Huawei's E2E solutions and services, such as network O&M and network planning, will support China Mobile Beijing in achieving its two major goals: growing its video user base to 10 million and establishing O&M indicator systems that offer systematic O&M capabilities. In addition, the two parties plan to aggregate high-quality resources to support the implementation of innovative premium broadband solutions and improve broadband user experience, achieving business success.

This cooperation involves multiple fields, such as business consulting, broadband user experience improvement, broadband network optimization, as well as platform development and construction. Based on the joint innovation, the two parties will work together to implement China Mobile Beijing's first premium broadband innovation solution and the video-experience-based E2E proactive O&M solution in 2018. The cooperation consists of two phases: In the first phase, trials will be run at pilot sites in benchmark regions, and in the second phase, the premium broadband solution will be implemented citywide following the example of pilot sites.
