Afrik 21

At a time when Africa is embracing information and communication technologies (ICTs), there are still questions about the energy-intensive aspect of the equipment, their impact on the environment, not to mention the difficulties of access to electricity in Africa. It is therefore necessary to rethink ICTs with regard to the energy challenges of the African continent. In this forum, Sean Xiao, Director of the Huawei Strategy for North Africa insists on the need to adopt equipment that is conducive to energy efficiency and especially to supply its devices with electricity produced from renewable energy sources.
