Kominfo also plays an active role as a custodian of the Digital Economy Working Group (DEWG) with three priority issues, namely post-Covid-19 recovery and connectivity; digital literacy and digital proficiency; and cross-border data flow. We appreciate the joint efforts of players in the telecommunications industry, including what IOH and Huawei stated today, who not only provide connectivity for delegates, but also provide an impressive experience using the green technology that is so needed for the planet."

Further advancement in 5G connectivity can be made using Huawei's advanced 3.5 GHz All-in-One module, which enables site simplification with one embedded active and passive antenna and combined with the dual band radio module 5516, which is more environmentally friendly than traditional single band radio modules.
