The essential contribution of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to the economy of all countries does not seem sufficiently evident. For example, in Mexico, SMEs contribute 52% of the gross domestic product and 68% of jobs overall, according to Inegi figures.
Despite their core contribution to economic development, SMEs suffer a decline in their share of GDP because, according to the World Economic Forum (WEF), they lack sufficient technological adoption to increase the efficiency of their operations, save on costs and improve its competitiveness.
The WEF emphasizes that for an SME to remain competitive in this constantly changing landscape, it is essential that it adopts the network tools and resources necessary to integrate into the digital and intelligent era. Fortunately, digital innovations have become more affordable, widely available, and highly adaptable to fit the needs of entrepreneurs and SME owners, no matter what they do and where.
Now we see very clearly all the possibilities and benefits of ICT integrated into all aspects of our lives. Businesses, regardless of size, also benefit.
Here we talk about two industries that benefit greatly from their adoption of the digital age.
Digitize education: from an interactive classroom to sophisticated scientific and research centers
The essence of education 4.0 is to prepare students for ever-changing industries. A non-negotiable requirement in this direction is the incorporation of technology to promote flexibility, diversity and inclusion in education.
In a basic scenario, a classroom has a high-quality Internet connection, with a collaboration tool that facilitates interaction and participation in class, which simplifies some teaching tasks and even the way in which students take notes. All in a safe environment, with high quality technology and with an affordable investment. Huawei has a wide range of high-quality networks with the most modern and fastest Wi-Fi connection.
However, these tools are not enough for university campuses. University campuses are larger, more complex environments with greater demands. The technological infrastructure for university campuses and research centers must be highly adaptable, capable of adopting intelligence, fast, omnipresent, autonomous. For these scenarios, the appropriate and affordable option is the adoption of fiber optics, which offers exceptional, uninterrupted and secure connectivity. “Fiber to the Office” (FTTO) solutions connect an entire campus, classrooms, library, dining halls, dormitories, faculty and administrative staff offices, to create fully connected and secure environments.
Everyone’s health in the hands of technology: from digital health to smart health
Imagine that from the moment you enter the hospital or clinic, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, laboratory technicians, all know exactly what you need, how to assist you and how to follow up. Add that all your studies—lab tests, X-rays, MRIs, etc.—are available at high speed. Patients follow their treatment, appointments, and scheduled studies easily with an application.
No matter the size of your hospital or clinic, you can adopt simplified campus networks that allow you to connect a building to a device, have distributed Wi-Fi with access to the Internet of Things without disconnections. Huawei’s high-quality networking solution for hospitals and clinics already increases the quality of patient care and makes the work of doctors, nurses and administrative staff more efficient and coordinated.
However, for more complex hospital scenarios, with more complex and data- and broadband-demanding medical devices – such as medical devices, tomography, clinical analysis systems -, where intra-hospital information must be managed securely – medical records, medical insurance, treatments, patient monitoring, hospital care – also fiber connectivity to the office (FTTO) is the option that offers a dedicated connection for any hospital or clinic. It guarantees stable bandwidth and reliable performance, essential for those who depend on fast and uninterrupted Internet connectivity. Not only that, it adapts to each of your needs.
The future of healthcare already has one foot in the present. Very soon, diagnoses will be able to be made with the help of big data and artificial intelligence.
Empower your SME with solutions that are user-centric and support the integration of flexible, intelligent, future-proof software and hardware. Huawei adapts to the needs and size of your establishment.
