Case Study: State Grid Corporation of China protects the power grid with Huawei videoconferencing

SGCC Protects Power Grid with Robust VCON

State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC), one of the world’s largest utilities, needed a more stable and higher-quality videoconferencing system to support emergency response across China’s power grid. Its legacy SD system was unstable, limited to low-resolution video, and lacked dual-stream and multi-channel capabilities, making it difficult to manage large conferences and respond effectively to disasters.

Huawei provided a robust emergency videoconferencing solution with fully redundant backup architecture for MCUs, links, boards, and terminals, plus 1080p video and compatibility with SGCC’s existing equipment. The Huawei system improved O&M efficiency, reduced setup time from hours to about 30 minutes, and enabled faster, clearer emergency coordination; SGCC also reported more than $156 million in travel cost savings from 1,123 conferences in one year.
