Mobile phone giant Huawei eyes huge opportunity for expansion in Africa

Huawei Technologies, China's largest phone-equipment maker, said revenue in southern and eastern Africa may climb as much as 30 per cent in the next three years as growth on the continent outpaces most regions.

The company plans to capitalise on low mobile-broadband penetration rates and increasing demand for smartphones in Africa, Li Dafeng, president for eastern and southern Africa, said in the capital Nairobi.

Huawei, based in Shenzhen, will also focus on developing its enterprise business that supplies equipment to governments and companies, he said.
