Huawei Launches Five Aviation Solutions to Accelerate Intelligence

[Madrid, Spain, April 8, 2025] During the Passenger Terminal Expo 2025, Huawei launched five aviation solutions including the Smart Airport Intelligent Operation Center (IOC) to advance intelligent industry upgrades. Huawei executives, including Mr. Dong Fangshuo, Vice President of Huawei's Smart Transportation BU, Mr. Yang Guojie, Director of Transportation Industry Solution Domain from Huawei's Data Communication Product Line, Eric Liu, Chief Engineer of Huawei Optical Network Business, and Dr. Rachad Nassar, Director of Global Business & Strategic Partners of Huawei's Smart Transportation BU attended the launch ceremony.

Huawei launches five aviation solutions

ICT has evolved from a siloed support system to a mission-critical production system, with intelligence being at the heart of the ongoing aviation transformation.

This prompts airports to rethink how they allocate resources and evolve toward smart airports. They must consider airport-industry-city integration, and how to create collaborative airport cluster operations. Huawei deeply integrates novel technologies with aviation services to create the architecture of intelligent digital twins that synergizes connectivity, cloud, AI, computing, and application. This architecture aims to significantly enhance operational efficiency, business value, safety, and passenger experience. The five solutions unveiled at the event lay a solid foundation for aviation to go broadband, go cloud, and go AI.

• Huawei's Smart Airport IOC enables precise and efficient decision-making through all-domain situational awareness. With Total Airport Management (TAM) concept at its heart, the IOC streamlines production and operations systems and seamlessly connects more than 30 airport production systems, providing a holistic view on one map. Capitalizing on AI algorithms, the IOC accurately predicts the time when an aircraft moves into the stand, optimizes resource allocation, and improves the rate of aircraft docking to jet bridges. This results in a 5% increase in flight departure punctuality and ground support efficiency. The system monitors operation in real time, deploys service resources in advance, proactively handles disruptions, strengthens security management, and improves passenger experience, helping airports go digital and intelligent.

• Huawei's Smart Airport Perimeter Security with Fiber Sensing Solution elevates airport operational security. Using innovative technologies like Huawei's distributed fiber optic sensing and AI sensing algorithms, the solution can precisely identify airfield intrusions under harsh weather conditions. It misses no alarms and generates very few false alarms (hundreds of alarms per day reduced to less than 1 alarm/km/day).

• Huawei's Digital and Intelligent Platform for Airports based on cloud, data, and AI makes airport operations smarter, more efficient, and more secure.

✓ Cloud: Core services are migrated to the cloud for active-active deployment, ensuring zero data losses. The recovery time is shortened from 1 hour to just 5 minutes, meeting the 99.99% availability requirement.

✓ Data: The platform builds a comprehensive data governance system alongside a robust data foundation to deliver high-quality data for intelligent applications.

✓ AI: Huawei provides advanced AI capabilities and supports open and compatible mainstream models and engines. Together with its partners, the company looks to create optimal industry models to accelerate aviation intelligence.

• Huawei's Xinghe Intelligent Airport Integrated Data Network Solution builds a high-quality and highly reliable communications network. Wi-Fi 7 enhances the passenger experience and boosts bandwidth for VIP passengers by 20% through its VIP assurance technology. Huawei's exclusive Wi-Fi Shield adopts noise superposition to prevent data from being stolen during air interface transmission and protect data. It automates access authentication and authorization, and can automatically detect and block spoofing and unauthorized access behavior within 30 seconds, eliminating terminal access risks. The solution fully boosts production and operational efficiency and ensures airport networks are stable.

• Huawei's Smart Airport Fully Connected All-Optical Network utilizes IP and Passive Optical LAN (POL). It introduces the first 10G M45 panel-type Optical Network Unit (ONU) — the OptiXstar P892M — for airports, which supports multiple installation modes such as tabletop, wall embedding, and floor cylinder. One optical fiber allows for integrated access of voice, Wi-Fi, and HD video services, providing more reliable, agile, and eco-friendly infrastructure for high-quality bearer of multiple airport service systems.

Dr. Rachad Nassar, Director of Global Business & Strategic Partners of Huawei's Smart Transportation BU, noted in his keynote speech that the advancement of aviation relies on digital and intelligent technologies. He stated that Huawei is committed to building safer and more efficient airports with a seamless passenger experience. "Moving forward, we will collaborate with more industry partners who have best practices to establish a new ecosystem for airport innovation and development. Together, we can help customers streamline existing industry systems, maximize data potential, and improve productivity within the aviation sector."

During the exhibition, Huawei showcased its brand-new scenario-based solutions for airport operations, security, and services alongside airlines' operating scenarios. The solutions ensure smooth passenger and flight flows, improve travel experience, and increase the operational efficiency of both airports and airlines.

To date, more than 210 airports, airlines, and air traffic management authorities the world over have chosen Huawei. Looking ahead, Huawei will work with industry customers and partners to build a digital and intelligent foundation for civil aviation, develop smart airports that are safe, green, and passenger-friendly, and accelerate the intelligent development of aviation.
