Huawei, the Chinese technology giant, reaffirms its commitment to technological development in Mexico and plans to maintain an investment above 300 million dollars by 2025.
Saúl Arjona, director of Huawei’s Technology Department, indicated that this sum is a reflection of 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 in an interview with El Sol de México.
He also highlighted that the company has maintained sustained growth of between nine and 10 percent annually since 2014, which allowed them to contribute $12.5 million to the Mexican Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2023.
Although Huawei is widely known for its production of smartphones, its participation in the Mexican market goes further, as the company has diversified its operations in 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 devices compatible with Wi-Fi 6 in Mexico.
In addition, it 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.

The company 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 “Semillas del Futuro,” which train students in emerging technology topics.
Huawei has also invested significantly in research and development, ranking as the fifth company worldwide that invests 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.
With the construction of new data centers and the deployment of advanced technologies such as Wi-Fi 7, Huawei reaffirms its intention to continue being a key player in the Mexican technological ecosystem.
“Our vision is to create a robust technological ecosystem that not only drives connectivity, but also fosters innovation and economic development,” concluded Saúl Arjona.
