Acer for Business EMEA outpaces market growth in Pro OS segment with +15% in H1 2025 - Middle East Business News and Information
According to Context data[1], Acer's EMEA 'for Business' division has achieved significant market-beating growth: +15.8% in the professional notebook business compared to a 5,7% market growth and +14,8% in the professional desktop PCs business against a 10,1% market growth. This achievement underscores Acer's unwavering commitment to the commercial segment, a year after relaunching its business focus during its annual press conference in Switzerland. Several key strategic pillars are driving this positive trend and paving the way for future success: new initiatives to strengthen reseller and partner loyalty, increased investment in the flourishing Digital Signage market, and continued innovation in products and services for businesses. These levers reaffirm Acer's crucial role in the commercial segment. Massimiliano Rossi, EMEA Product Business Unit VP of Acer, commented on the company's achievements and plans ' Over the past year, ' Rossi explained ' we have consolidated our product portfolio to offer a broader range of solutions supporting both SMB and Enterprise segments, leveraging the expertise of sister companies like Aopen for Digital Signage and Altos for server/infrastructure. In Digital Signage, investments have expanded to include new product lines such as Large Format Display [LFDs] and Chromebox and Veriton NUC mini-PCs. ' Rossi also attributes much of this success to Acer's channel-partner vertical certifications. ' What's truly paying off, ' he continued, ' is the creation of specialized certifications like our Acer Cloud Partner Program for Chrome OS-based solutions, where we hold a dominant 35% market share in EMEA. Our Acer Education Partner Program has also enabled a significant 25% market penetration .' Rossi emphasized Acer's 'channel first' approach, stating, ' The fact that we are not simply 'indirect,' but rather channel-first, ensures we never compete with our resellers. Our streamlined and flexible structure allows resellers of any level or size to directly access necessary information. ' The company is also planning to launch a new portal dedicated to resellers later this year. The Partner portal has a dual objective: to further strengthen relationships through a tool that simplifies their work and to build a robust foundation for the continuous growth of the channel ecosystem. 'The new platform will streamline partner experience, providing quicker access to advantageous offers, business support services, and training on new technologies,' says Cristina Pez, EMEA Director of Commercial & Marketing at Acer. 'Acer has always been recognized as an 'easy to work with' vendor. We've built the new portal with the idea to keep it simple and user-friendly and turn it into a concrete tool for our resellers to manage negotiations, collect product information and get an immediate view of their achievement in the loyalty program . ' The new Acer for Business Partner Portal is set to be launched by the end of this year.

e& deploys GCC's first Dual-Band 64T64R MetaAAU, advancing 5G network sustainably - Middle East Business News and Information
Abu Dhabi, August 2025 – e& UAE has deployed the GCC's first Dual-Band 64T64R MetaAAU, an advanced radio unit from Huawei, on its live 5G network. This new technology not only improves how 5G networks perform but also uses less energy and reduces the amount of equipment needed, delivering a better, more sustainable experience for customers across the UAE. Abdulrahman Al Humaidan, Senior Vice President/Access Network Development, e& UAE, said: 'This deployment is a breakthrough in compact, high-performance network technology and an important marker on our road to net zero by 2030 and 5G-Advanced. By merging two key 5G frequency bands into a single, intelligent unit, we've halved the amount of equipment needed at our mobile sites while significantly improving coverage, speed, and energy efficiency. It's a smarter, greener way to deliver better connectivity to our customers.' The Dual-Band 64T64R MetaAAU combines multiple frequencies (2.6 + 3.5GHz) in a single unit, cutting hardware needs and lowering power consumption by 35 per cent. Smart energy saving features, like symbol-level sleep, further lower energy consumption by an additional 15 per cent during low traffic periods. Using advanced antenna technology with double the capacity of traditional units, 384 antenna units compared to 192 units, the coverage capability is improved significantly, strengthening indoor signals, and enhancing connectivity in busy areas by 30 to 60 per cent. Unlike traditional setups that require separate installations for each band, this integrated solution reduces equipment footprint by 60 per cent and halves the deployment time, making network rollouts quicker and more efficient. As 5G progresses, technologies like Dual-Band 64T64R MetaAAU are instrumental in creating a more connected and energy-efficient future for the UAE and pave the way for 5G-Advanced connectivity. This deployment reinforces e& UAE's commitment to building smarter, more sustainable 5G networks that cater to both customer needs and the nation's digital future.
