Huawei Holds the Largest Share in the Chinese Campus Switch Market in 2024 According to IDC Data

[Shenzhen, China, March 17, 2025] Huawei announced that it maintained the largest share in the Chinese campus switch market for the full year of 2024, according to the Chinese Ethernet switch market tracker 2024 Q4 report released by IDC. This marks that Huawei continues to lead the Chinese market with its complete best-in-class campus switch portfolio.

Bandwidth assurance, unlocking infinite possibilities through high-speed connections

Huawei's feature-rich campus switches facilitate ultra-high-bandwidth network access, accommodate bandwidth-hungry services such as superfast Wi-Fi access and high-speed file downloading, and ensure 10 Gbps to the room or even 10 Gbps to the desktop. Plus, Huawei's campus switches are designed with on-demand hardware licenses to pave the way for smooth office campus network upgrade for the future and fully satisfy customers' network requirements of today and tomorrow.

Energy saving, creating a low-carbon office environment

Huawei's campus switches deliver significant energy savings at architecture, device, and technical levels. Specifically, at the architecture layer, the simplified architecture design decreases the expenditure of devices and air conditioning in the equipment room, greatly reduces cabling, and saves valuable space resources. This, in turn, slashes the power consumption and deployment costs of the entire network. At the device level, energy-saving technologies such as low-power ports and intelligent fan speed adjustment further reduce the power consumption of devices during operations. When it comes to the technical level, the intelligent tidal energy saving algorithm further reduces energy consumption in line with the global philosophy of eco-friendly and sustainable development.

Smart architecture, simplifying operations and improving efficiency

Huawei's innovative simplified architecture — which builds on future-proofed campus switches — enables one device for one network, greatly improving deployment efficiency and simplifying management. This architecture also integrates diversified AI capabilities. For example, NetMaster, a network AI agent, automatically resolves 80% of wireless issues. On top of that, natural language-based questions and answers (Q&As) assists IT personnel in more efficient operation and maintenance (O&M), enabling one person to manage a campus with over 10,000 users. Beyond this, Huawei's AI-powered application identification technology ensures always-smooth key applications and always-optimal VIP user services.

Top-notch security, safeguarding data security

Huawei's campus switches leverage end-to-end Media Access Control security (MACsec) technology to prevent information eavesdropping and ensure data transmission security. The built-in probe design efficiently detects exceptions, thereby preventing unauthorized access. Another highlight is terminal identification technology based on the industry's most comprehensive terminal fingerprint database, which accurately identifies and manages popular terminals to further improve network security and protect enterprise data assets.

Looking ahead, Huawei continues to stay at the forefront of technological innovation in campus switches. In doing so, Huawei remains dedicated to helping all industries to accelerate digital and intelligent transformation by building a high-quality wired network with the "BEST" (bandwidth assurance, energy saving, smart architecture, and top-notch security) experience.
