Huawei Once Again Named a Sample Vendor in AI Networking by Gartner® in the Hype CycleTM for Enterprise Networking, 2024

[Shenzhen, China, July 27, 2024] Gartner®, a global information technology research and consulting firm, has once again listed Huawei as a Sample Vendor in the AI Networking field in its Hype CycleTM for Enterprise Networking, 2024 report.

The Hype Cycle provides critical insights into the maturity and adoption of technologies and applications. It serves as a valuable benchmark for the industry to evaluate the development trends and business value of emerging technologies. According to the report, AI Networking has reached the “Peak of Inflated Expectations” of the Hype Cycle for Enterprise Networking, indicating its rapid adoption and transformative potential in the industry.

The report underscores the benefits of AI Networking: "AI networking can improve the end-user experience, reduce setup and management costs, enhance agility, and drive more efficient network operations. More advanced AI networking products can reduce trouble tickets and simplify troubleshooting by offering recommendations. They can improve network performance that can't reasonably be achieved through manual resources. Furthermore, generative AI (GenAI) adds a conversational interface to simplify network operations." AI Networking is evolving and entering its adolescent phase, with increasing technical capabilities and application maturity. This presents a significant opportunity for enterprises to adopt this technology and leverage its benefits.

Huawei's Xinghe Intelligent Autonomous Driving Network Solution leverages AI-powered networks to address complex network O&M, service experience assurance, and network security challenges, achieving high-level autonomy at L4. The solution integrates Huawei's Net Master — a cutting-edge network large model — with digital map functionality to ensure seamless and secure network operations.

Net Master, trained on Huawei's Pangu Models, boasts a vast data communication corpus of over 50 billion tokens and leverages the collective expertise of over 10,000 network professionals. This intelligent system features Copilot capabilities and multiple scenario-specific agents, creating a "digital expert" in enterprise network O&M. Net Master can proactively resolve over 100 typical faults across eight categories, automate decision-making in over 30 scenarios, and boost O&M efficiency by 100 times, significantly improving service continuity and network user experience.

To us, Huawei's recognition as a Sample Vendor in AI Networking by Gartner underscores its strength in network intelligence innovation. Looking ahead, Huawei remains committed to advancing technology and developing cutting-edge intelligent network solutions, supporting global customers in their transition to autonomous networks and ushering in a new era of intelligent networks.
