As Huawei eKit continues to grow and drive technological innovation, it remains committed to delivering robust digital infrastructure products and solutions tailored for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The company consistently provides reliable, forward-thinking solutions while continuously refining and enhancing its product portfolio to meet evolving business needs. This commitment was evident at Mobile World Congress (MWC), where Huawei eKit took part in a product launch event themed “Explore New Horizons and Create a Better Future Together.” The event highlighted the company’s dedication to empowering SMEs through cutting-edge technology and collaborative innovation.

During the event, Huawei eKit unveiled more than 20 new distribution products tailored to nine major sectors, including office, hospitality, and education. Each Huawei eKit product is engineered to deliver high performance while ensuring simple deployment and easy management. Through this expanded portfolio, Huawei eKit reinforces its commitment to advancing digital and intelligent transformation for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). By continuously innovating its product offerings, the company aims to enable smarter operations, improve efficiency, and support sustainable business growth across diverse industries.

Build smarter connectivity using Huawei eKit solutions

Within the datacom domain, the newest Huawei eKit product offerings are designed to make daily network performance faster and more reliable. The eKitEngine AP572 and AP673E deliver stable Wi-Fi 7 coverage in classrooms and large meeting rooms, ensuring smooth online collaboration. The eKitEngine S310 switch provides 2.5 Gbit/s speeds and PoE across all 48 ports, making it a practical choice for schools and business hotels. For security, Huawei also launched the eKitEngine USG6000F-S, an AI-powered firewall that offers reliable protection at a cost-effective level. Together, these solutions show how a Huawei eKit product can combine performance with ease of deployment.

In the MiniFTTO space, each Huawei eKit product focuses on integration and efficiency. The eKitOptix F700D simplifies installation by combining optical access and Wi-Fi 7 into one device. The eKitOptix FG736 enhances wireless performance for modern offices. Meanwhile, the eKitStor Xtreme 200E SSD and the portable eKitStor Shield 210 provide fast, secure storage options for daily business needs.

Empowering SME Growth with Huawei eKit Philippines

Althea Loja — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 09:41:27 +0000

Following Huawei’s 2023 announcement of Huawei eKit– a comprehensive solution designed to support SMEs on their digital transformation journey, MEC Networks kicks off 2026 by proudly adding Huawei eKit to its roster of globally recognized ICT brands.

Huawei eKit: Designed Specifically for SMEs

In the Philippines, high-speed and high-performance networking, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence are some of the digital technologies that businesses quickly adopt to enhance efficiency and connectivity with clients. These solutions lead to smarter work, enhanced partnership, and new sources of income. However, next-generation technology may seem daunting to several small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) because of high initial costs, technical demand, and insufficient IT capacity. This digital divide can see SMEs lagging behind bigger and better-financed competitors.

Recognizing these challenges, Huawei introduced HUAWEI eKit, a dedicated sub-brand built to support the digitalization journey of SMEs. Available through trusted partners in the Philippines such as MEC Networks, it delivers end-to-end ICT solutions that combine networking, collaboration, storage, and management tools. Backed by the extensive knowledge MEC Networks has in enterprise networking as well as local deployments, SMEs do not only obtain the latest technology, but also professional design, deployment, and support that is specific to Philippine business environments.

Enterprise-Grade Networking Made Simple

Huawei eKit offers extensive networking solutions that are tailored to modern SME settings. Products such as GE and 2.5G access switches to Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 access points support high-speed connectivity in offices, schools, hotels, and shopping areas with high levels of reliability. Some of the solutions like MiniFTTO (Fiber-to-the-Office) enable companies to substitute the conventional copper cabling with fiber, which provides greater bandwidth, greater stability, and future-proof infrastructure with minimal installation involved.

Simplified Management, Stronger Growth

With AI-fueled monitoring, QR-codes configuration, and centralized control, SMEs are now more efficient in complex network management with the Huawei eKit App – enabling IT teams to work smarter and quicker. With the eKit rapidly developing, adding new features of advanced collaboration, secure storage services, and intelligent network optimization, the Filipino SMEs can now enjoy the technology that is previously available only to big businesses. Huawei eKit Philippines is enabling businesses to open up to growth, remain competitive and feel more comfortable playing in a more inclusive digital economy by reducing barriers to adoption.

Through this strong partnership, organizations in the Philippines can now utilize Huawei eKit solutions, with the support of local expertise of MEC Networks to allow businesses to develop reliable, high performance and easy to manage infrastructure of networks. Together, Huawei eKit and MEC Networks help SMEs improve connectivity, strengthen operational efficiency, and support digital-first business environments.

The next generation of SME connectivity in the Philippines begins here, with Huawei eKit and MEC Networks.

30 Years, One Mission: MEC Shares the Gift of Vision

Althea Loja — Thu, 25 Dec 2025 02:30:56 +0000

The sense of sight is something that most people take for granted. Through our eyes, we get to see the people we love, witness how our future unfolds, and appreciate achievements and milestones. It’s a gift. But not everyone has the privilege to receive this gift. In celebration of our 30 years in the ICT industry, MEC is making that gift possible for dozens of people as we give back to the community we serve. We’re giving the gift of vision.

30 Years of Igniting Ideas and Driving Excellence

MEC Networks is an industry leading distributor company in the Philippines that was founded by its founder and president, Merrick Chua, in 1995. As the number of IT businesses thriving rapidly, he knew that rather than a business competing with one another, why not serve their needs and empower them? The outcome of these thoughts is the products and solutions that MEC constantly provides.

After years of hard work, compassion and perseverance, strong workforce, thousands of business partners, nationwide branches and globally recognized ICT brands, we have become a big dynamic organization which is recognized not only in the local but also in the international arena. MEC Networks, celebrating its 30th anniversary, aims not at serving just the IT industry but also as a reliable partner in education, telecommunications, hospitality, and healthcare.

When Innovation Meets Compassion

Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center is a beacon of hope to many Filipinos, being located in the busy road of Blumentritt. Although a privately-owned organization, it is receiving a lot of patients. The hospital has a social development foundation which serves as a refuge to indigents because it grants such patients and communities an opportunity and a chance to be treated.

The department of ophthalmology is one of the busiest and active wards in the hospital. When we entered their floor, we could see the number of people who have been attending to eye issues, particularly the aged people. And, as Dr. George Co remarked, you are disabled to do anything without the sense of sight. With the majority of them having someone to help them or having a cane to help them walk, it can be clearly seen how hard it is to move and at least to take them to the hospital appointments without having clear vision.

Cresenciana Claveria, a patient who does catechistic work stated that she would simply listen to the priest as she is no longer able to read the bible. Patient Rene Ang, on the other hand, shared that he would read the newspaper with one eye. Another patient, Editha Tampucao, told us that it is difficult to move around the house with clouded vision. She would bump off drinking glasses and when eating fish, she would have her family debone for her since she can no longer see well.

Dr. Co highlighted that the population in need of cataract surgery is very high in the country. Most of them afford treatment but not all patients have the financial ability to be treated. Although visual impairment is prevalent, a more distressing aspect which emerges is the disparity in accessing healthcare.

Sharing the Gift of Vision

As shared by our Executive Vice President, Maureen Chua, during Thanksgiving, “The causes we support outside, echoes the values we uphold inside.” She further stated that the greatest way of celebrating is by serving our community because these moments make us remember the values we live by- to remain grounded, to work as a team and to use our success to make a positive difference which has been playing a major role in the way we do business today.

Three decades in, MEC continues to show that technology is at its best when driven by compassion. In commemoration of 30 years in the ICT industry, MEC is offering free cataract surgery to 30 patients of the Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center.

The program that is made possible through the collaborative efforts of partnering organizations is not only a medical aid. It is a symbol of hope, empathy and solidarity. Each successful operation is the testimony of a changed life, a parent who can see his or her children growing up, an employee who can resume working, and an elderly who can see the world clearly again.

This project is an expression of our lifelong commitment to ensuring we, at MEC, remain committed to empowering individuals to never lose hope and inclusive growth towards the brightest and clearer future as a reflection of our commitment to uphold our core values.

Milestones Worth Celebrating

This event highlights that true success comes not just from achievements or partnerships, but from the people who make them possible. By giving the gift of sight, MEC honors both its decades in technology and its commitment to community welfare.

As we look in the future, one thing is for sure: MEC will keep on making a positive impact.

To the Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center, thank you for making this vision come to life.

And partner? We’re excited to see where our united vision takes us.

30 years in, a lifetime of impact to go.

To 30 Years and Beyond: MEC Thanksgiving Dinner

Althea Loja — Sat, 20 Dec 2025 06:07:06 +0000

Holiday cheer was already lingering at MEC as we held our annual Thanksgiving Dinner last November 20, 2025, at East Ocean Palace in Parañaque City. This year’s celebration was not just a night of appreciation—it was also an opportunity to commemorate our 30th anniversary with our friends in the industry: brands, clients, and customers.

From the word itself, thanksgiving is all about showing appreciation and gratitude. It is a joyous occasion where you want the people you value most to gather and celebrate. Upbeat music, dazzling lights, scrumptious food—you name it. But beyond all these festive elements, the highlight of Thanksgiving is the people who help make and work tirelessly to build the company that is MEC today.

Though the performance came toward the close of the program, it was a moment worth highlighting from the start. Soprano singer-songwriter Lara Maigue and musical actor Gian Magdangal—renowned for their work on both local and international stages—brought captivating energy to the evening. Their presence illuminated the venue, and their heartfelt duet infused the celebration with the warmth and joy that Thanksgiving embodies.

Honoring Partnerships This Thanksgiving

As our President, Merrick Chua, shared in his speech, “Our principals, whom we proudly represent, partners, and customers—your presence this evening reflects the partnership and trust that has sustained MEC for the past 30 years.” This was not just an event but a celebration of the incredible partnerships and mutual trust we have long built and shared. Today, MEC proudly represents globally recognized ICT brands that cater to various business needs. Indeed, we have established a strong circle united by one goal: to drive innovation and progress forward.

“Success may not always be glamorous, but perseverance is quietly powerful.” These words from our Executive Vice President, Maureen Chua, deeply resonated with the entire room. MEC began as a startup founded by two individuals straight out of college—a bold risk fueled by a shared vision to become a strong player in the IT landscape and an unwavering belief that technology would shape the future. As beautifully captured by our Strategic Planning Director, this determination guided MEC to where we are today.

As MEC marks 30 years in the ICT industry, our drive to learn, adapt, and grow with technology remains stronger than ever. As our Risk Management Director said, “Although we may no longer be a startup, we have never lost the spirit of one.” We continue to work with the same commitment, because at MEC, we always strive to give the best products and service possible.

To 30 Years And Beyond with MEC

This year is truly special for us—30 years filled with achievements and milestones we are immensely proud of.

In his parting statement, our President commended the MEC team, “This achievement belongs to you, for your dedication, resilience, and customer-first spirit.” And indeed, credit is given where credit is due. Our work ethic reflects the way we are led—by leaders who are hardworking, passionate, and a joy to work with.

It was a night full of fun and celebration. This Thanksgiving reminded us that while technology keeps us connected, it is the people behind it who truly make a difference.

Thank you to our hardworking team, trusted partners, and loyal customers who contributed to this big milestone. Through your unwavering support and trust, we were able to achieve 30 years of innovation, growth and partnership.

Unto the next chapter partner, shall we?

MEC Networks’ 30th Anniversary: Celebrating 30 Years of Innovation, Growth, and Partnership

Kait Donieto — Fri, 17 Jan 2025 06:39:27 +0000

Who would have imagined that a small computer shop would one day grow into one of the Philippines’ premier ICT distributors, now celebrating three decades of success? What started as a humble dream has become a story of passion, resilience, and meaningful partnerships. For MEC Networks, our 30th anniversary isn’t just a celebration of success—it’s a tribute to everyone who’s been part of our journey. It’s a story about innovation, trust, and community. Join us as we take a closer look at 30 years of empowering individuals and businesses while building connections that truly matter.

The Beginnings of MEC Networks

Back in the 1990s, as technology boomed and computer shops sprang up across the Philippines, MEC Networks’ founder and president, Merrick Chua, saw an opportunity. What started as a side hustle quickly evolved into something much greater. By 1995, our president made a bold move. He realized that instead of competing with countless other computer shops, he could empower and connect businesses by becoming a distributor of ICT products. With this pivot, MEC Networks was born —a decision that laid the foundation for a legacy that continues to thrive today.

The company’s first major partnership came in 2002 with Krone, a German cable manufacturer. This partnership was the beginning of MEC’s commitment to delivering world-class products and solutions to the Philippines. Today, that commitment has grown to include over 30 global ICT brands.

Growing with Our Partners

MEC Networks’ journey has been extraordinary. Over the past three decades, the company has celebrated several milestones that highlight its growth and dedication to serving its partners:

• Expanding Operations: We had a very modest rented office in Binondo, Manila, then later moved to Ortigas, and eventually had its very own headquarters in Cubao, Quezon City. With this expansion, MEC Networks has grown its physical footprint to better serve its customers. Today, the company even operates a branch in Cebu to support our partners from Luzon to Mindanao.

• Partnering with Global Recognized Brands: As mentioned, we started as a distributor of cables, but today, MEC Networks now distributes products from over 30 globally recognized ICT brands. With a proven track record of excellence and gaining the trust of different brands to partner with us, we have become a one-stop shop for state-of-the-art solutions tailored to various industries.

• Building a Strong Community: With over 800 business partners nationwide, MEC has established itself as more than just a distributor. It’s a trusted partner that helps businesses in healthcare, education, telecommunications, hospitality, and more, achieve their goals. We become not just business partners, but we’ve built a close-knit community across different industries.

Building Trust Through Innovation

Innovation and trust are at the heart of MEC Networks’ success. By offering cutting-edge ICT solutions, the company has helped businesses adapt to the rapidly changing technological landscape.

The holiday season came early this year as we hosted our annual MEC Thanksgiving Dinner on November 15, 2024, at the East Ocean Palace in Parañaque. It was a night of gratitude, celebration, and a magical surprise that left everyone in awe—a special guest performance by the one and only “King of Christmas Carols,” Jose Mari Chan.

A Night to Remember with Jose Mari Chan

We were thrilled to share this moment with our trusted partners, suppliers, and principal associates from across the Asia-Pacific region. The legendary Jose Mari Chan’s heartwarming presence brought timeless melodies to life, filling the room with joy and holiday cheer.

Jose Mari Chan’s music has long been beloved by Filipino families, and his surprise performance added a truly special touch to the evening. As he sang his classic hits, including the timeless “Christmas in Our Hearts,” the room was packed with warmth and the unmistakable spirit of the holidays. It was a moment of unity and joy, perfectly reflecting what our Thanksgiving Dinner was all about.

MEC Thanksgiving: A Celebration of Partnerships and Gratitude

This annual tradition of ours has always been more than just an event—it’s a cherished tradition and our way of expressing sincere thanks to the incredible individuals and organizations who have been part of our journey. For nearly 30 years, MEC Networks has been a premier name in the ICT industry, delivering top-quality products and solutions to businesses in the Philippines while fostering collaboration and mutual growth.

In her speech during the event, our Director of Strategic Planning beautifully captured the essence of the night. She shared, “Our relationship and our friendship aren’t just about the transactions, the projects, the focus, the targets. We’re a family—a family bound by mutual trust and shared goals. It’s a bond that won’t easily crumble amidst changing business landscapes and challenges we’ll continue to face.”

This year’s theme, “Bound by Partnership, United Like Family,” reflected exactly that—a celebration of the relationships that define who we are, relationships that have helped shape our story. These enduring partnerships are the foundation of everything we do, and we couldn’t be prouder to honor them.

As the laughter and melodies lingered in the hearts of our guests, our Director reminded everyone of something truly special: “To all of you, our partners, please remember that here in MEC, you are home.”

To our valued partners and principals, thank you for being part of our journey and for trusting us to be part of yours. For us at MEC Networks, you are more than collaborators—you are family. As we look ahead, we carry the shared memories of this evening and the promise of even greater things to come.

Cheers to another year of partnership, growth, and success!
