The solutions are designed for AI Network Powered connections. Huawei aims to help local stakeholders embrace intelligent development and boost digital productivity. According to Huawei, AI use in networks is still in early stages. Most current solutions add AI components to traditional network management systems (NMSs) to fix isolated issues. Shawn Zhao, Vice President of Huawei's Data Communication Product Line, reported that only AI-powered networks offer viable long-term solutions. He explained that: Network devices now have built-in AI computing power. The upgraded network brain shifts from single-point AI functions to full-process automated assurance. This transformation is expected to improve network experience, security, and operations and maintenance (O&M) capabilities. Huawei confirmed that the upgraded Xinghe Intelligent Network covers various scenarios. These include campus networks, wide area networks, data center networks, and network security. One key innovation is Huawei's Wi-Fi Shield. It is the first industry to use AI signal scrambling for physical-layer encryption. This ensures zero data leakage. The intelligent experience assurance solution was also revealed. It can prioritize apps like Teams and Zoom with latency under 100 milliseconds. To counter evolving threats, Huawei announced AI-powered border firewalls with a 95% unknown threat detection rate. The endpoint security solution offers over 2,000 protection points. Additionally, the AI-powered tracing graph engine can perform correlation analysis of 100 hops to identify threat sources. Huawei also reported active engagement in global markets. It focuses on over 10 high-value scenarios, including enterprise offices, education, and healthcare. The company upgraded O&M tools for partner support. It improved the journey playback function in the iMaster NCE platform and launched the WebMaster visual network management system. In distribution markets, Huawei targets hotels, retail stores, and SMBs. The company continues to launch energy-efficient products. For example, the AP266 access point uses only 9.4 watts—just 61% of the industry average. Huawei also introduced new accessories to ease installation and maintenance. Its general-purpose metal mounting bracket suits eight different scenarios, improving onsite work efficiency. Other highlights included the 'Imagine Wi-Fi 7 Pioneer Awards' presented during the 'Imagine Wi-Fi 7 to Reality' Program (Season 3) Awards Ceremony.
