In grand Style, they succeeded to configure a network with equipments and a virtual laboratory, as well as other innovative configurations.
News Upfront gathered that the students are confident of the skills aquired thanks to Huawei, but they however know that the world finals would be very challenging.
“It is going to be a high level competition, and we shall be participating alongside other African and world nations,” Loic Meli said.
The competition is not in it’s first edition but Cameroon is participating for the first time.
For their first year, they made it to the top level. First year, first triumph.
It goes without saying that the world’s giant Telecommunications company, Huawei has for years now encouraged Cameroonian ICT students to further their knowledge in technology and innovation.
The competition this year is taking place online because of the health challenges linked to Coronavirus.
