Huawei was founded in 1987 in Shenzhen, China, by Ren Zhengfei, a former engineer in the country’s People’s Liberation Army. It is known worldwide for its telecommunications equipment, which are used in cell towers, network infrastructure and construction of other devices, such as routers. It also manufactures smartphones and other components for smart devices.

When the company was created, Sweden’s Ericsson had been in China for three years, with eight other international companies betting on this telecommunications device market in the country. While the disputes were concentrated in the cities of Shanghai, Beijing and Canton, Huawei settled in the then new city of Shenzhen.

The company’s first GSM products were launched in 1999, with CDMA and UMTS technologies. Huawei expanded global operations in 2000, although only 1% of revenue came from outside China. During this period, Huawei began to focus on markets ignored by other companies, such as Africa and Asia, investing in 3G research and development, as it was too late to gain from 2G.

Huawei’s first phone was the 2004 C300. To board 3G, the company launched the U626 in 2005. With the arrival of 4G, China had become the leader in the telecommunications market, operating in 170 countries. The company says that one-third of the world’s population uses its telecommunications technologies daily.

Not only smartphones, Huawei today also produces notebooks, tablets, smartwatches and other products for end consumers, such as mesh routers and headphones. At 5G, two-thirds of the antennas of the new generation of mobile networks are from the company.
