[Barcelona, Spain, February 27, 2024] At MWC Barcelona 2024, Huawei held a commercial & distribution business session themed Accelerating Digital and Intelligent Transformation of SMEs. Being the debut of Huawei's commercial and distribution business at the MWC, it demonstrated Huawei's determination to increase investment in the SME market. Huawei also launched 24 new products and solutions for the commercial market and 12 new HUAWEI eKit products for the distribution market to assist SMEs worldwide in digital transformation and intelligent upgrade.
Huawei has been working in the ICT field for more than 30 years. To better serve SMEs and help them go digital, Huawei initiated commercial and distribution business transformation at the beginning of 2023, paying more attention to and investing in the global SME market. Huawei managed to achieve good results in the past year.
In the commercial market, Huawei has released 17 new products and 7 new solutions for industries including education, healthcare, hotel, retail, and SME. For example, for multi-branch interconnection scenarios in various industries, Huawei's SD-Branch network solution enables deployment in a single store within 10 minutes and deployment in 1000 stores within one day. For SME office scenarios, the efficient, secure, and inclusive all-flash OceanStor Dorado 2100 supports application deployment by scanning barcodes and enables smooth sharing of files.
According to Zhang Haiping, Director of the Commercial Business Dept of Huawei Enterprise Sales Dept, with the support of partners and customers, Huawei has made great achievements in the commercial market in 2023. In 2024, Huawei will continue to customize and develop more marketable products and solutions for SMEs based on industry application scenarios. Through partner-centricity, Huawei will continuously optimize the sales and service systems that support partners, provide more benefit assurance and incentive policies, and work with partners to serve customers in the commercial market.
In terms of the distribution business, HUAWEI eKit has launched 12 new products in fields like SME networks, intelligent collaboration, and MiniFTTO. This includes:
• Wi-Fi 7 eKitEngine AP371, designed for VR, live broadcast, and other heavy-traffic scenarios; this provides ultra-high-speed networks with 2 ms low latency

These new products will effectively support distribution partners in expanding more scenarios and smooth the digital experience of SMEs.
HUAWEI eKit believes in the importance of being led by distributors and centering on subcontractors. It aims to build a complete distribution system as well as a healthy market order. According to Wei Xianbin, Director of the Distribution Business Dept of Huawei Enterprise Sales Dept, HUAWEI eKit develops marketable products and scenario-based portfolios for SMEs, budget hotels, primary and secondary schools, and other typical scenarios. It supports the efficient operations of distribution partners through its digital platforms—the HUAWEI eKit official website and app. HUAWEI eKit is committed to providing products, digital platforms, and services that are easy to buy, sell, install, maintain, learn, and use, and working with partners to create a new future for the distribution business.
