ICT solutions and smart devices giant Huawei, and Ektech, a solutions distributor, have announced a partnership to develop the internet service provider (ISP) market in Brazil.
The announcement was made at a special certification ceremony held at Huawei’s headquarters in São Paulo.
The collaboration aims to strengthen the infrastructure of regional ISPs by offering access to innovative technologies and high-performance connectivity solutions. With a portfolio that includes connectivity solutions for next-generation fibre optic networks, the partners say the alliance will enable Brazilian ISPs to expand their coverage, optimise their services and offer higher-performance connections to end users.
The initiative will, they add, provide technical training, specialised support and joint initiatives to build capacity in the sector, ensuring that providers have access to the best practices and technologies available in the market. In addition, Huawei and Ektech will develop flexible and accessible business models, enabling ISPs of all sizes to modernise their operations and expand their services efficiently.
Patrick Canton, President of Ektech, highlighting the importance of the synergy between the two companies, says: "Huawei's expertise in cutting-edge technologies, combined with our capillarity and knowledge of the local market, will allow Brazilian ISPs to have access to robust and efficient solutions, ensuring sustainable growth and greater competitiveness."
Huawei has four business units in Brazil: a group dedicated to operators, which offers telecommunications equipment and infrastructure; one that meets the needs of the corporate market, providing ICT solutions and infrastructure; Huawei Cloud; and Huawei Digital Power, whose smart solutions are focused on the generation, distribution and storage of photovoltaic energy.
The company also develops projects in the area of smart automotive solutions and devices for the end consumer, such as smartwatches, routers and smartphones.
