HUAWEI eKit SME Network

LA7 Gym is a modern beachside fitness club in Egypt, catering to health-conscious members seeking a premium exercise experience. With state-of-the-art cardio machines, treadmills, and wellness equipment integrated with IPTV, streaming apps, and online fitness classes, LA7 Gym required a network infrastructure that matched the technological sophistication of its facilities.

To meet member expectations for uninterrupted streaming and connectivity for IoT-enabled equipment, the gym needed a reliable, high-performance network that could be deployed quickly, operated with minimal IT expertise, and scaled across all its branches.

Running a modern, tech-driven fitness club comes with its own set of challenges, and LA7 Gym faced several of them. With treadmills, cardio machines, and wellness equipment now relying on apps for streaming classes, video content, and online fitness programs, the gym needed a network that could provide fast, stable, and uninterrupted Wi-Fi throughout the facility. At the same time, as LA7 planned to grow across multiple branches, the network had to be reliable and consistent in every location while remaining cost effective.

The gym also has a small team with limited IT expertise, so the system needed to be easy to install, manage, and maintain without requiring dedicated IT staff. On top of all this, the equipment had to run quietly to keep the workout environment calm and focused. Balancing all these demands — speed, coverage, simplicity, and silence — was a major challenge for LA7 Gym.

LA7 partnered with a Huawei-certified installer to deploy a compact yet powerful HUAWEI eKit solution across its fitness club. The deployment combines high-performance Wi-Fi 6 access points with silent PoE switches, all managed via Huawei’s cloud-based eKit platform for ease of monitoring and management.  

1. AP361 — Wi-Fi 6 Access Points

• Twelve AP361 units were deployed throughout the gym to provide seamless, high-speed wireless coverage.
• Each AP361 supports multiple simultaneous connections, ideal for streaming, online classes, and IoT-enabled fitness equipment.
• Energy-efficient operation at just 9.4W, minimizing power consumption while maintaining peak performance.

2. S220-24P4J — PoE Switches

• Two PoE switches deliver both power and connectivity to AP361 devices, simplifying installation and eliminating the need for separate power sources.
• Designed for silent operation, ensuring a serene environment for gym members.

All devices are centrally managed via the Huawei eKit APP and SNC cloud platform, providing branch managers and partners with real-time monitoring, configuration, and troubleshooting capabilities — with no on-site IT engineer required.

The HUAWEIeKit solution was deployed quickly and efficiently, with minimal disruption to the daily operations of LA7 Gym. Thanks to Huawei’s advanced eKit scanning and auto-configuration tools, the certified installer was able to rapidly set up and configure all access points and switches across the facility. This streamlined process eliminated the need for complex manual configuration, allowing the network to go live much faster than traditional deployments.

Even with multiple devices and a high-demand environment, the gym was fully connected and operational in record time, providing members with uninterrupted access to streaming classes, online content, and connected fitness equipment from the very first day. The smooth rollout also ensured that gym staff, who have limited IT experience, could easily monitor and manage the network through Huawei’s cloud-based platform, avoiding downtime or technical disruptions.

Overall, the deployment demonstrated how quickly and effectively the HUAWEI eKit system can deliver a modern, high-performance network, keeping both members and staff satisfied.

The HUAWEI eKit solution transformed LA7 Gym’s network experience for both members and staff:

.

• Noise-Free Operation: Silent switches maintain a calm, distraction-free environment for workouts.
• Seamless Wi-Fi Roaming: Members can stream OTT content or join online classes from anywhere in the facility without interruption.
• IoT-Ready Infrastructure: The network supports fitness equipment, apps, and online content, enabling future digital enhancements without additional investment.
• Energy-Efficient Solution: AP361 units consume minimal power while delivering maximum coverage.
• Zero On-Site IT Requirement: Cloud-based management allows the gym team to monitor and maintain the network effortlessly.
