Huawei is a leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices. With integrated solutions across four key domains – telecom networks, IT, smart devices, and cloud services – we are committed to bringing digital to every person, home and organization for a fully connected, intelligent world.

At Huawei, innovation focuses on customer needs. We invest heavily in basic research, concentrating on technological breakthroughs that drive the world forward. We have more than 200,000 employees, of which 55% are employed in R&D, and we operate in more than 170 countries and regions.

Huawei invests more than 20% of revenues in R&D every year: in the past 10 years our total R&D investments exceed 150B USD.

By the end of 2023, Huawei held +140.000 active patents.

In Milan Research Center, we work on cutting-edge technologies in microwave and millimeter-wave communications, focusing on frequency bands such as E-Band, W-Band, and D-Band.

Our research extends to free-space optical communications, advanced system architectures, antenna technologies, and contributions to standardization efforts. We also develop active phased array systems, focusing on innovative architectures and antenna array technologies. 

Additionally, we are engaged in research on optical RFICs, including drivers and transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs), as well as microwave and millimeter-wave IC used in power amplifiers and front-end technologies.

Our research also covers HF technologies, advanced electromagnetics (EM), and also power integrity and high speed signal integrity in next-generation systems.
