BANGKOK, May 30 (NsNewsWire) — Huawei held the first Southeast Asia IP Club Carnival in
Bangkok, Thailand. The two-days (On May 30–31,) event, with the theme "Rethink IP, Building the Engine
for Digital Transformation," brought together approximately 400 IP Club members, industrial and

professional, open, trustworthy, and respectful IP technology communication platform.
At the IP Club carnival, Rohit Mehra, IDC's Vice President of Network Infrastructure, shared his insights
into how the rise of emerging technologies such as AI, big data, and cloud created both opportunities
and challenges for network construction. Mr. Mehra stated that the network is central to the secure,
scalable, and efficient use of emerging applications, and that network transformation is urgent because
traditional networks no longer keep pace with digital transformation. He also predicted that future
intelligent networks would continue to evolve towards autonomous, self-driven automated ones.

revealed his outlook on how the IP industry would progress under the tidal wave of digital
transformation. In addition, he shared Huawei's latest research and leading practices in the IP
technology field. He said, `Huawei plays a pivotal role in industry fields such as Wi-Fi 6, AI Fabric, and
SRv6, achieves market leadership and makes outstanding contributions to the industry due to
continuous innovation and R&D investment. Huawei would continue to increase R&D investment and
provide leading intelligent IP network solutions in order to build a next-generation intelligent
connectivity base for the upcoming intelligent society.’
Dr. Osama Aboul-Magd, Chair of the IEEE 802.11ax (the sixth generation of Wi-Fi) task group, shared
the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard evolution trends and Huawei's contribution to the Wi-Fi 6 standardization. He
said: "Huawei has submitted 240 new proposals during 802.11ax standard development, accounting for
15% and ranking number one across all vendors".
Dr. Li Xing, Vice President of the Campus Network Domain, Huawei's Data Communications Product
Line, then released the industry's first commercial Wi-Fi 6 – P7060DN. He commented: "Huawei leads
the industry in commercial Wi-Fi 6 products verified by Tolly Group, an international authoritative test
organization. According to Tolly, Huawei's commercial Wi-Fi 6 products achieved the highest
performance among those tested."
In the future, Huawei's IP Domain will deliver more technologies and resources to better serve the
Southeast Asia market. Through close collaboration, Huawei and its partners will provide more intelligent
connections for enterprise customers. In addition, Huawei will continue to use the Digital Platform to
integrate new ICT, helping customers to succeed in digital transformation and march towards
