Five industry leaders recognized at GITEX GLOBAL 2025 for pioneering Wi-Fi 7 applications in intelligent sensing, healthcare, and retail; Huawei solidifies global market dominance in Enterprise Wi-Fi 7.
Dubai, UAE, October 22, 2025 – During GITEX GLOBAL 2025, Huawei hosted the prestigious awards ceremony for Season 4 of its “Imagine Wi-Fi 7 to Reality” Program. The event recognized five participants—Freedom Telecom, Qatar Foundation, MEEZA, Spadile Technologies LLC, and CloudLink—for their visionary and pioneering applications of Wi-Fi 7 across diverse and crucial industry scenarios.
The awards were presented by a distinguished lineup of technology leaders, including Dr. Hussam Al Hamadi, Vice Chair of IEEE UAE; Tang Zhentian, President of Huawei’s Middle East & Central Asia ICT Marketing & Solution Sales Department; Shawn Zhao, President of the Campus Network Domain, Huawei’s Data Communication Product Line; and Jason He, President of Huawei’s Global Enterprise Data Communication Marketing & Solution Sales Department.
Since its launch, Season 4 of the program has successfully attracted hundreds of technology leaders and innovators from the Middle East, Central Asia, Europe, and Africa. The program effectively showcases cutting-edge Wi-Fi 7 innovations in intelligent sensing, energy saving, and security, highlighting the technology’s transformative potential in real-world business applications.
“The ‘Imagine Wi-Fi 7 to Reality’ program is not only a platform for showcasing technological innovation but also a key driver of digital transformation across global industries,” said Shawn Zhao, President of the Campus Network Domain, Huawei’s Data Communication Product Line. “The remarkable achievements from this season offer replicable and scalable models for intelligent campus network upgrades worldwide.”
Huawei’s technical prowess in WLAN innovation continues to earn sustained recognition. For the third consecutive year in 2025, Huawei was named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure, remaining the only non-North American vendor in the Leaders quadrant. Furthermore, according to IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Wireless LAN Tracker® for Q2 2025, Huawei’s enterprise-class Wi-Fi 7 once again ranked No. 1 globally in both market share and shipment volume.
These achievements are underpinned by Huawei’s commitment to scenario-driven R&D, focusing on its innovative “Wi-Fi + X” strategy.
The strategy delivers tangible benefits through:
- Wi-Fi + sensing: Utilizing Wi-Fi channel state information (CSI), Huawei enables intelligent spatial sensing. In large campuses, this technology can integrate with Building Management Systems (BMSs) to reduce energy consumption by 10% and enhance security via nighttime presence detection. In healthcare, a contactless mmWave-based solution replaces manual patient monitoring, enabling 24/7 non-intrusive automated vital sign monitoring.
- Wi-Fi + IoT: By supporting multiple access methods like SD-IoT on a single Access Point (AP), Huawei enables converged deployment of office and IoT networks, cutting deployment costs by up to 50%. This capability helped a hospital in Guangzhou, China, boost its network deployment efficiency by 70%.
Additionally, Huawei unveiled the industry’s first spycam-detecting AP, equipped with innovative algorithms that accurately identify 110 models of cameras across 62 brands, providing real-time alerts regardless of whether the cameras use Wi-Fi, cellular networks, or local storage.
Looking ahead, Huawei reaffirms its commitment to working closely with global partners to advance Wi-Fi 7 adoption, delivering a more efficient, secure, and intelligent wireless network experience to customers worldwide.
