Nadim Abdulrahim, an industry expert from Huawei's Global Public Sector, announced the launch of the Smart Classroom 2.0 solution and introduced Huawei's all-scenario education solutions. According to Mr. Abdulrahim, "Huawei's education solutions integrate ICTs into teaching scenarios. Huawei upgrades smart classrooms, enabling a converged campus network based on Huawei Wi-Fi 7, which connects to the green and energy-saving all-optical network to build a diversified smart teaching environment. This will help educators break the limitations of time and space and enable universal teaching and learning for equal and inclusive education."

The Smart Classroom 2.0 solution delivers the following advantages:

• Access terminals are upgraded.

• Wi-Fi 7 delivers an air interface rate of 18.67 Gbit/s, ensuring smooth online learning.

• Intelligent edge devices connect video resources to the cloud platform to provide functions such as smart attendance, real-time speech-to-text conversion, and online video resource management.

• The solution supports live streaming, automated recording, and class analysis, facilitating smart teaching with edge-cloud synergy.

Huawei ensures smooth smart classroom services using a converged campus network and NREN. These create a high-performance digital cloud foundation. By focusing on smart classrooms, smart campuses, and research innovation, Huawei designs all-scenario education solutions to drive high-quality education development.

Ana Margarita Reyes, CEO of Maiwei, the technology and innovation company of EXSUSA, Panama, said, "In Panama, conventional ICTs prevent smart teaching. Together with Huawei, we are building smart campuses using NCE-Campus, a video storage and analysis system, and IdeaHub. This is driving efficient, intelligent campus management and digital teaching, resulting in a better learning experience."

Huawei has helped promote smart education with more than 2,800 clients from education ministries, academia, and research institutes across 120 countries and regions.
