Winners of Network track are Joolfoo Muhammad Bin Abubakr and Gokool Ravish from University of Mauritius and Bahadoor Indeshwar Anandswaroop from Polytechnics Mauritius.
Ravish, one of the winners from University of Mauritius commended that: “The lessons learned throughout the Huawei ICT Competition were enormous. As a Telecommunications Engineering student, my knowledge of data communication, Security and WLAN were broadened by the various resources supplied by Huawei. The competition was not one of the easiest as the course sets were voluminous and very detailed hence there were a lot to cover. However, with great effort I was able to complete the course sets and pass the national exam. I would highly recommend students from the IT sector to take part in the future Huawei ICT Competitions to cultivate and better their knowledge on Digital communication and network security.”
Indeshwar, winner from Polytechnic said that: “I have always been fascinated by all the technological products that surrounded me since childhood. It started with robot toys and RC cars, then flip-phones to touch screens, followed by wireless transactions and today, as an Internet of Things student, I am amazed by the world of Network Technologies. I recently learnt about the Huawei ICT Competition from a Roadshow by the Huawei Mauritius Team, on my campus at Polytechnics Mauritius. In class, I learnt that from the small Wi-Fi antenna in a smartphone to the numerous servers and data warehouses around the world, data hops through so many devices, crossing different network layers and taking various forms under different protocols. A few exchanges with the Huawei Team drew my interest to the Network Track of the competition. The Huawei learning platform has helped me a lot so far with the competition, as well as with my studies and personal exploration of networks. I also have had the opportunity to meet students from other institutions and make new acquaintances. “
Winners of ICT Competition National final Cloud track are Justus Wamswa Chemirmir, Christian Adebambo from African Leadership College and Sevish Babooa from University of Mauritius.
“Huawei ICT Competition has provided me with a platform to venture into multiple areas of the IT industry outside my curriculum. I have engaged with a lot of content previously unknown to me and I loved the every moment I got to go through the provided readings. Part of that delight is due to the practicality of the courses: a combination of theory and Huawei technologies.” Said by Justus, a foreign student from African Leadership College.
