The Chinese company Huawei will not only invest in the mobile device market but also in telecommunications infrastructure, wireless technology, and data centers
Huawei has maintained double-digit growth in Mexico.
Huawei, the Chinese technology giant, reaffirms its commitment to technological development in Mexico and plans to maintain an investment of over $300 million by 2025.
Saúl Arjona, director of Huawei’s Technology Department, indicated that this sum shows the organic growth that the company has experienced in the country, driven by the increase in sales, the expansion of its client portfolio, and the growing demand for telecommunications infrastructure and cloud services.
“It is not just a financial investment, but a long-term commitment to the Mexican technological ecosystem,” said Arjona.
The company has maintained sustained growth of between nine and 10 percent annually since 2014, allowing it to contribute $12.5 billion to Mexico’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2023.
Although Huawei is widely known for its smartphone production, its participation in the Mexican market goes further, as the company has diversified its operations into three major areas: telecommunications infrastructure, wireless technology, and data centers.
In the field of telecommunications, Huawei is one of the main suppliers of fiber optic equipment for data transmission, used in internet access for Mexican homes. In addition, it leads the development and deployment of infrastructure for cellular networks, providing the majority of transmission antennas in the country.
Currently, Huawei operates around 90 thousand internet access points distributed throughout Mexico.
In the field of wireless technologies, Huawei has been a pioneer in the development of Wi-Fi transmission equipment, being the first company to offer Wi-Fi 6 compatible devices in Mexico.
In addition, Huawei is already working on the deployment of Wi-Fi 7, a technology that promises to significantly improve the speed and stability of connections.
One of the highlights of Huawei’s presence in Mexico is its role in the development of data centers and cloud services.
Huawei operates data centers in Tlahuaca and Querétaro and was the first to implement a public cloud data center in the country.
This infrastructure allows for reduced latency and ensures that sensitive data does not leave the national territory.
“Our cloud infrastructure is not only designed to meet the needs of companies and governments but also to support the growth of small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs),” said Arjona.
Huawei’s data centers also stand out for their technological innovations, such as efficient cooling systems that direct airflow directly to equipment, compact power backup systems, and the ability to deploy data centers in train containers, reducing installation time to just 15 days.
Huawei’s influence in Mexico is not limited to technology. The company has generated more than 100,000 indirect jobs through the manufacturing, assembly, and distribution of its solutions.
In addition, it maintains close collaboration with educational institutions through programs such as “Seeds of the Future,” which train students in emerging technologies.
Huawei has also invested significantly in research and development, ranking fifth worldwide in investing the most in this area.
This commitment to innovation translates into more than 940,000 patents registered globally, which consolidates the company as a technological benchmark.
