A. HUAWEI-UET JOINT TELECOM IT CENTRE (HUTIC)

HUAWEI-UET Telecom IT Centre (HUTIC) was established as a joint venture of UET with HUAWEI
Technologies (China) in 2002. The HUTIC Center has 9 million USD worth of Equipment.
The equipment provided by HUAWEI technologies comprises of Telecom Equipment and Telecom
Network Equipment. All the mentioned nodes are installed under one roof in a newly built Centre. The
Center thus becomes a unique and one of its kind facilities that offers practical exposure to all nodes of a
Telecom and Networking system in the convenience of a single lab. In field, on the other, hand different
nodes of a network are distributed at various distant sites making it less feasible for training purpose.
In order to enhance the technical skills of talented workforce in the field of telecommunication and
networks, HUTIC is offering a series of courses for students and professionals. These courses provide
practical exposure with hands-on experience on the latest equipment. Through the training program, a
strong link is developed between academia and industry as students learn the practical implementation of
their theoretical knowledge. The strong practical experience induced in students through this program
helps them secure jobs in telecom industry of Pakistan and neighboring countries including Middle East,
Far East and Africa; since the equipment available at HUTIC is quite diverse and installed at many places
by the leading telecom operators worldwide. In Pakistan, companies like Mobilink, Warid, KPN, Reliance
Telecom, Ufone and Telenor have installed this equipment. This widespread dominance of the Huawei
equipment makes the job prospects for trained students even higher. In addition, those who are trained at
HUTIC through the dedicated staff can easily get acquainted with equipment of other vendors in a short
time because of the strong foundation they build during these courses.
The detailed course outline is provided in Annexures. The training courses can be conducted for the
individual module or combined for all modules. Group discount and combined course discount is available
