"We predicted this change a few years ago and we believe that digital wireless technologies for enterprises will be more diversified in the future. However, network infrastructure should avoid unnecessary reconstruction. Converged access, unified management, and an open ecosystem should therefore serve as the foundation for an enterprise's wireless network, allowing it to handle future digital scenarios. Huawei has been recognized as a 'Strong Performer' by Forrester in this field, reaffirming our leadership in meeting differentiated customer requirements in the enterprise wireless network field. With a converged access wireless architecture, CIOs can implement simpler wireless access management, reduce repeat investments in infrastructure, and build a platform to support digital services."
