Wi-Fi 7, the successor to Wi-Fi 6, boasts an impressive data transmission rate approximately three times faster than its predecessor, ensuring seamless connectivity for streaming 4K and 8K videos, engaging in VR experiences, or facilitating remote office work.
Recognizing the critical role of Wi-Fi in shaping the future, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) UAE Section and Huawei have joined forces to launch the groundbreaking Huawei ‘Imagine Wi-Fi 7’ Innovative Application Contest. This collaborative initiative invites ICT practitioners across the Middle East and Central Asia (ME&CA) to share innovative ideas and explore the best implementation scenarios for the latest Wi-Fi generation—Wi-Fi 7.
The Huawei ‘Imagine Wi-Fi 7’ Innovative Application Contest will help accelerate Wi-Fi 7 adoption across ME&CA. The contest invites customers, partners, research institutes, universities, and analysts to actively explore Wi-Fi 7’s application scenarios and unique values for businesses and societies. By fostering proactive innovation, this concerted effort swiftly elevates industry awareness and acceptance of Wi-Fi 7. Participants will share their ideas through video submissions, aligning with the ease of digital life.
The ’Imagine Wi-Fi 7’ contest winners will be celebrated as Wi-Fi 7 pioneers, receiving prestigious awards and certificates jointly presented by the IEEE UAE Section and Huawei. The top three winners will also enjoy an exclusive invitation to the Huawei Tech Carnival Tour in Baku, Azerbaijan, in May 2024.
Dr. Eesa M. Al Bastaki, honorary Chair of IEEE UAE Section, President of University of Dubai, said, “Our members are excited with the Wi-Fi 7’s potential, as it heralds a new era in wireless connectivity when demand for new experiences is at an all-time high.”
Shunli Wang, Vice President of Huawei Middle East & Central Asia, said, “Huawei is grateful for the invaluable support extended by IEEE UAE Section and the University of Dubai for the Imagine Wi-Fi 7 content. We are confident that the Imagine Wi-Fi 7 program will inspire creative thinking and lead to the development of innovative applications that explore how Wi-Fi 7 could revolutionize our professional, personal, and cognitive spheres.”
The Wi-Fi 7 era has officially dawned, with the Wi-Fi Alliance releasing the Wi-Fi 7 certification standard. Huawei’s pioneering efforts position it as the trailblazer for this transformative technology. As Wi-Fi 7 gains momentum, Huawei remains steadfast in shaping the future of wireless connectivity. The ‘Imagine Wi-Fi 7’ contest is part of the company’s vision to build the industry ecosystem by driving innovation and openly collaborating with all stakeholders for shared success.
