-Wi-Fi 6 Pilot to Explore Use Cases for Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality 
in Mondragon University-

At the Wireless Global Congress (WGC) held by the Wireless Broadband Alliance 
(WBA), Huawei announced a groundbreaking Wi-Fi 6 pilot. The project, supported 
by the WBA, will carry out a series of Wi-Fi 6 verification tests at Mondragon 
University, Spain, to explore innovative Wi-Fi 6 use cases, inspire students, 
and enhance education outcomes.

The pilot project will pave the way for immersive education methods such as 
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) which are changing the way 
teachers and students interact on campus. Similarly, it's planned that the 
trial will include testing Wi-Fi 6 for online live broadcasts and remote 
education, which are all personalizing the way in which talents are cultivated. 

Through the Wi-Fi 6 pilot project, Huawei will work with the WBA to ensure that 
Wi-Fi networks better adapt to the requirements of teachers and students in 
higher education scenarios with high-density access requirements and 
increasingly diversified teaching applications. With Wi-Fi 6, digital talent 
cultivation in colleges and universities will no longer be held back by network 
factors such as bandwidth and latency, providing diversified and personalized 
teaching experience at the students' fingertips.

At the Wireless Global Congress, Li Xing, Vice President of Campus Network 
Domain, Huawei Data Communication Product Line, delivered an impressive keynote 
speech about enabling intelligent Wi-Fi 6 networks with AI. Li Xing said: 
"Wi-Fi 6 is a technological revolution. Huawei AI-powered AirEngine Wi-Fi 6 
products achieve real-time analysis and optimization of networks, greatly 
improving network quality and providing a ubiquitous ultimate connection 
experience. Huawei joins hands with WBA to launch a Wi-Fi 6 pilot project, 
which will significantly improve Wi-Fi services in higher education scenarios."

Mr. Tiago Rodrigues, CEO of the WBA, commented: "Wi-Fi has become an essential 
part of daily life for people across the world, and enabling students and 
teachers to learn in truly immersive and collaborative learning environments 
will unlock so many possibilities for academia. The Wireless Broadband Alliance 
is working with Huawei and Mondragon University on this Wi-Fi 6 trial to help 
deliver a seamless and secure Wi-Fi roaming experience for students and 
lecturers, and improve the quality of learning methods and resources for 
generations to come."

Jesus Lizarraga, Telematics Coordinator of Mondragon University affirms: 
"Compared with other industries, colleges and universities have a stronger need 
for Wi-Fi 6. Mondragon University has just deployed the latest Huawei Wi-Fi 6 
products, bringing higher bandwidth. We believe that Wi-Fi 6 will help us 
explore new educational models for the future. Therefore, we are very pleased 
that the WBA and Huawei have chosen Mondragon University for Wi-Fi 6 
verifications."

Huawei is committed to promoting the development of the Wi-Fi 6 industry, and 
will continue cooperating with partners to provide ubiquitous connections and 
pervasive intelligence for colleges, universities, government organizations, 
and enterprises. Additionally, Huawei strives to combine the power of new ICT 
technologies through digital platforms and assist customers' pursuit of digital 
transformation success.
