Huawei's safe city solution includes network access, intelligent analysis, video linkage, convergent command and video cloud.

Among the attendees are experts from the Global Security Industry Alliance (GSIA), SAP, Intergraph, Telmex, and Netherlands VCS, along with Huawei's customers from many Latin American countries.

"With urbanization as a global trend, technology plays an increasingly important role in enhancing the security of metropolitan areas", said Xu Mingxu, Huawei's President of Enterprise Business in Northern Latin America.

"With more than two decades of experience in ICT, Huawei will work hand in hand with industry partners to build a better connected world and smarter and safer cities in Latin America."
