Huawei and SOLUM launch smart retail network at MWC 2026, cutting costs up to 55% with unified digital signage and shelf labels.

At MWC Barcelona 2026, Huawei and SOLUM launched the Shop-in-Shop Smart Converged Network Solution, a unified retail platform integrating digital signage and electronic shelf labels via a single gateway supporting LTE, Wi-Fi, and ESL connectivity. Designed for high-traffic venues like malls, airports, and train stations, the system enables plug-and-play deployment, remote management, and real-time content updates across global locations without dedicated access points. It reduces total cost of ownership by up to 55%, with larger stores saving up to 33%, and supports rapid, synchronized promotions for pop-up shops, branded stores, and dining outlets. The solution builds on prior IoT access point convergence work and signals plans for future AI integration in retail environments.
