Dialog Enterprise and Huawei drive digital innovation with Wi-Fi 7 for future-ready businesses

Dialog Enterprise, the corporate ICT solutions arm of Dialog Axiata, continues to lead the way in delivering enterprise-grade wireless connectivity, empowering businesses with high-performance networking solutions. As a pioneer in Business Connectivity, Dialog Enterprise has deployed advanced wireless connectivity solutions across corporate offices, industrial factory floors, and leading hospitality venues, ensuring seamless connectivity tailored to the unique demands of each sector.

Taking a significant step forward, Dialog Enterprise, in collaboration with the global technology innovator Huawei, has now deployed Sri Lanka’s first Wi-Fi 7 network at two key partner locations: the Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology (SLIIT) and The Kingsbury Hotel. These deployments mark the beginning of a nationwide transformation, bringing next-generation wireless capabilities to organisations that demand high-speed, ultra-reliable, and secure connectivity.

Wi-Fi 7 is designed to cater to environments with high traffic, a vast number of connected devices, and extreme throughput requirements. Using the latest 6 GHz spectrum, 4K-QAM modulation, and Multi-Link Operation (MLO), Wi-Fi 7 delivers speeds up to four times faster than its predecessor, with significantly lower latency. This makes it ideal for industries requiring real-time collaboration, high-definition video streaming, large-scale cloud applications, and AI-driven operations.

At SLIIT, the Wi-Fi 7 deployment enhances virtual learning, collaborative research, and an enriched student experience, supporting the institution’s digital-first approach to education. At The Kingsbury Hotel, ultra-fast, high-capacity Wi-Fi ensures guests enjoy buffer-free streaming, seamless remote work, and smart room integrations for an enhanced hospitality experience. Beyond education and hospitality, Wi-Fi 7 has the potential to impact industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and security. It could enable real-time telemedicine, rapid transfer of large medical files, and IoT-enabled smart medical devices in healthcare. In manufacturing, the ultra-fast network may support smart factory automation, seamless device communication, and predictive maintenance analytics. For security and defence, Wi-Fi 7’s low latency and advanced encryption capabilities could enhance real-time surveillance and rapid data processing for critical infrastructure.

Huawei Sri Lanka Enterprise Business Vice President Hao Zhiqiang said: “Wi-Fi 7 represents a major leap in connectivity, enabling industries to meet growing digital demands with greater speed, capacity, and security. Our partnership with Dialog Enterprise ensures businesses benefit from cutting-edge wireless solutions that drive innovation and efficiency.” 

Dialog Enterprise Group Chief Officer Navin Pieris said: “Wi-Fi 7 represents a transformative leap in connectivity, enabling organisations to meet the ever-growing demands of digital transformation. Whether in education, hospitality, or enterprise, our goal is to provide cutting-edge wireless solutions that deliver exceptional performance, reliability, and security.

“Our collaboration with leading global partners ensures we bring best-in-class innovations to our customers, helping them stay ahead in a hyper-connected world,” he added.

By deploying Wi-Fi 7, Dialog Enterprise reaffirms its commitment to working closely with businesses, institutions, and industries to deliver tailored solutions that meet their evolving connectivity needs. As digital adoption accelerates, this initiative lays the foundation for next-generation networking across Sri Lanka, empowering businesses with superior speed, efficiency, and security.
