Hybrid meetings: why Huawei IdeaHub is the choice for boardrooms and ministries

A poorly equipped meeting room is costly

A slow connection, sound that remote participants cannot hear, a document that will not project: every incident delays decisions and gives partners an unprofessional impression. Many rooms still pile up a projector, a webcam, a whiteboard and cables.

The challenge is not to add yet another screen, but to replace this stack with a single, simple and reliable tool.

One device instead of five

Huawei IdeaHub is a large smart screen designed for offices and team collaboration. This all-in-one tool can on its own replace a whiteboard, a projector and professional videoconferencing equipment. It brings together in one device:

• high-definition videoconferencing, intelligent handwriting recognition, ultra-high-definition projection and a gallery of business apps;
• on the IdeaHub S2 generation, “Bring Your Own Meeting”, immersive HD meeting quality, Wi-Fi 6 direct projection and ultra-low writing latency;
• compatibility with existing tools: IdeaHub works with Huawei Cloud Meeting as well as the main third-party cloud videoconferencing platforms, so partners are not forced to adopt new software.

In a boardroom, the screen is wall-mounted. For multi-purpose spaces, it sits on a mobile stand and moves from room to room.

Award-winning design

IdeaHub has received several of the world’s most recognised design awards:

• the Red Dot Design Award in 2020, then the iF DESIGN AWARD 2021 in the user interface category, with the jury praising its streamlined architecture, simplified interface and ease of use;
• the iF DESIGN AWARD 2023 for the IdeaHub S2 model.

For decision-makers, these awards reflect a concrete advantage: equipment that participants can use without lengthy training.

References on several continents

IdeaHub already equips demanding organisations:

• Oil industry (Egypt). PETROBEL, a subsidiary of the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation and one of the country’s leading oil and energy companies, chose IdeaHub after comparing videoconferencing and collaboration products from several vendors.
• Education (Qatar). Ta’allum Group equipped more than 120 classrooms after successful trials and plans to extend the solution to other campuses.
• Public education (Mexico). USEBEQ deployed IdeaHub ES2 in 300 schools.
• Higher education (Poland). Kozminski University adopted IdeaHub to strengthen its remote teaching.

What institutions and senior management gain

• Meetings that start on time, with no settings or cables.
• Smooth exchanges with remote participants, whether in the provinces or abroad.
• Better-documented decisions, thanks to the digital whiteboard and instant document sharing.
• A modern image with partners, donors and foreign delegations.
• A controlled investment: one device replaces several pieces of equipment to buy, install and maintain.
