Huawei, a Chinese technology corporation, plans to expand its Harmony operating system with numerous new applications.
In a statement, Huawei Chairman Xu Zhijun stated in a speech posted on the WeChat messaging app that the business plans to have 100,000 apps available within a year.
With over 15,000 apps presently addressing fundamental needs, Huawei intends to expand its ecosystem with different, personalised applications to reach universal adoption and maturity.
China’s Huawei, which has been blacklisted by the US, said on Saturday that it plans to launch 100,000 applications for its Harmony operating system in the coming months as it seeks mass support to attain self-reliance.
He said, “Based on our analysis, for the Harmony ecosystem to be mature in meeting consumer needs, 100,000 apps is the milestone, and that is the key objective over the next six to 12 months.”
The ambitious app aims to emphasise the importance of creating domestic innovations as China faces rising tensions with the United States in sectors ranging from trade to technology, with President-elect Donald Trump threatening to be stricter on China.
Xu Zhijun believes the business must strive harder to improve Harmony.
He wants government agencies and businesses to use Harmony at work.
He also begged users to be patient while the system developed.
Five years ago, Huawei released its operating system in response to US sanctions that limited access to Google’s Android.
Since then, the Shenzhen-based tech behemoth, known for its diverse product line ranging from smartphones to laptops, has also developed an open-source version of the Harmony system.
“Huawei has been forced to accelerate developing its own operating system,” Xu stated.
We earlier reported that the launch of the first commercial 25 Gbps microwave link in the world in the E-band spectrum has been announced by Huawei Egypt and Vodafone Egypt.
