SHANGHAI, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sept 16, 2026, at the 2026 HUAWEI eKit Launch Event in Shanghai, Leon Wang, President of Huawei’s Data Communication Product Line, delivered a keynote unveiling the upgraded HUAWEI eKit Intelligent Office Solution 2.0, which targets digital transformation pain points for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

“Digital and intelligent transformation is essential for the high-quality growth of SMEs,” said Leon Wang. “Featuring superior quality, simplicity, and full-scope security, the lightweight, highly adaptable, and secure solution lowers the barrier to intelligence for SMEs—bringing the intelligent world within reach and making intelligent office accessible to all.”

For startups, Huawei introduced a minimalist solution in 2025, which required only one device and one screen. This year, HUAWEI eKit has upgraded its aesthetics and performance.

Aura10: Featuring three-color ambient lighting, four proprietary folding antennas, and an industry-first dual-polarization desktop design, the router doubles signal strength and boosts Wi-Fi speeds by 40%.IdeaHub B3 Base Smart Screen: Powered by a decoupled screen-compute architecture, it supports one-click switching between Android and Windows. Integrated with the DeepSeek LLM, its smart search and generation capabilities quickly organize fragmented information to enhance workplace productivity and decision-making efficiency.

For SMEs, Huawei introduced a Wi-Fi 7 + 2.5GE high-performance networking solution with comprehensive security protection in 2025. This year, HUAWEI eKit AR281 was launched to simplify networking and O&M. A single device does the work of five by integrating routing, NVR, WAC, private line access, and online behavior management. SuperCoding 3.0 achieves up to 85% video storage compression (one disk, six times the capacity), significantly cutting enterprise storage costs. In addition, the solution supports one-stop unified deployment and O&M, minimizing deployment cycles and costs.

In office security, HUAWEI eKit applies its full-scope security philosophy to protect business secrets from hidden recording. The new DF10 premium handheld spycam detector features a new meeting guard mode. Paired with the iGuard mobile app, it enables one-touch automated scanning with a 1.5-hour battery life for silent, continuous meeting protection. With the multi-dimensional AI identification model, false alarms are reduced to 5%.

Long committed to SME intelligence, HUAWEI eKit continues to address real enterprise pain points and lowers the barrier to digital transformation—making intelligent office accessible to all SMEs.

New offerings address two distinct market needs: fixing-related exposure management and continuous quote-driven gold access.

PORT LOUIS, Mauritius, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — STARPRIME is expanding its gold offering with AM/PM Fixing and XAU24/7, giving market participants two distinct ways to manage and access gold exposure. Both offerings will be available in time for Forex Expo Dubai 2026, where STARPRIME will showcase its expanded liquidity offering as a Platinum Sponsor.

The additions complement STARPRIME’s existing gold suite, including Spot XAUUSD, with contract variations for Top of Book and Order Depth, as well as XAU Futures. Together, they respond to increasingly different client requirements across physical and electronic gold markets.

AM/PM Fixing is designed for physical hedgers and other market participants managing exposure around fixing prices. Clients can trade fixing contracts directly with the STARPRIME Trading Desk, with orders subsequently converted into spot contracts. This enables exposure to be offset against other positions and may reduce margin requirements associated with maintaining separate exposures.

XAU24/7 addresses a different shift: growing demand for quote-driven products beyond conventional market hours. As continuous access becomes increasingly familiar across financial markets, the product provides around-the-clock gold trading while operating as a distinct instrument with its own pricing environment and contract specifications, including pricing generated outside traditional reference-market hours.

“Physical gold participants increasingly need efficient ways to value and hedge inventory, while another segment is seeking continuous, quote-driven access. These are very different requirements, and liquidity solutions need to evolve around both,” said Jay Mawji, CEO of STARPRIME.

STARPRIME will showcase its expanded liquidity offering as a Platinum Sponsor of Forex Expo Dubai 2026, taking place 22–23 September at Dubai World Trade Centre. Visitors can meet the team at Booth 152. STARPRIME will also contribute to the event programme through a Liquidity Panel and fireside chat, exploring how liquidity requirements are evolving across brokers, institutions and professional trading businesses.
