Huawei Launches Pakistan’s First National Spare Parts Repair Hub
Pakistan now hosts Huawei’s inaugural national-level Spare Parts Repair Center, designed to process over 10,000 telecom equipment modules annually while minimizing the country’s dependence on foreign repair services.
The Islamabad-based facility was officially opened by Federal IT and Telecommunication Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja, with Huawei Pakistan CEO Ethan Sun attending the ceremony. It offers on-site repair, diagnostics, troubleshooting, and maintenance for Huawei’s telecom hardware deployed nationwide.
Outfitted with 16 dedicated repair stations, the center manages repairs for more than 180 distinct equipment categories, including wireless systems, microwave networks, power solutions, and access-network components. Huawei reports the center will restore over 6,000 repaired units to operation each year, achieving a roughly 60% repair success rate.
The initiative aims to accelerate repair cycles, cut replacement equipment demand, and eliminate the need to send devices abroad for servicing. Advanced diagnostic tools from Huawei enable fault identification and performance testing.
Staffed by more than 10 local technicians, each boasting over a decade of Huawei maintenance experience and specialized training from the company’s Chinese headquarters, the center enhances emergency response capabilities. This local expertise ensures quicker network restoration during crises.

Addressing the launch, Minister Khawaja showed the center’s role in bolstering Pakistan’s digital infrastructure by supporting homegrown technical skills. She cited the nation’s Digital Nation initiative, which prioritizes cultivating a globally competitive workforce in technology-driven sectors.
The minister emphasized Pakistan’s ambition to evolve from a technology consumer to a producer and exporter of digital innovations, stressing that skill development and knowledge exchange are essential to this transformation. She praised Huawei’s investment as a catalyst for strengthening the country’s telecom network resilience.
“Huawei is proud to partner with Pakistan in building sustainable technical expertise,” Sun remarked. “This center reflects our vision of translating global technology into local capability, ensuring faster service and stronger networks for the country.”
Beyond regular maintenance, the new facility will play a critical role in sustaining telecom operations during emergencies, according to the company.
