Huawei Launches Xinghe Intelligent Network to Help Build a Digital-Intelligent Africa

[Marrakech, Morocco, May 29, 2024] The third stop of Huawei Network Summit 2024, themed "Innovations Never Stop", was successfully held in Marrakech, Morocco. At the summit, Huawei unveiled its Xinghe Intelligent Network products and solutions for the Northern Africa region to best suit diverse scenarios such as campus networks, wide area networks (WANs), data center networks, and network security. By leveraging these purpose-built offerings, Huawei stands ready to join forces with customers to build a digital-intelligent Africa together.

Key launches include the Xinghe Intelligent Campus, Xinghe Intelligent Fabric, Xinghe Intelligent WAN, and Xinghe Intelligent Network Security.

• Xinghe Intelligent Campus: Intelligent experience assurance is a key focus of Xinghe Intelligent Campus. To this end, Huawei's all-scenario Wi-Fi 7 products leverage smart antennas and intelligent scheduling technologies to double the wireless signal strength and increase the number of concurrent users by 50%. Plus, Huawei's audio and video assurance solution, unique in the industry, intelligently identifies and prioritizes audio and video applications to ensure always-optimal experience. Regarding wireless network security, Huawei launched Wi-Fi Shield technology, an innovation that prevents unauthorized users from eavesdropping any valid data, ensuring robust wireless network security.

• Xinghe Intelligent Fabric: By leveraging AI Turbo and a network scale load balance (NSLB) algorithm, Xinghe Intelligent Fabric performs network-wide intelligent optimization. The resulting benefits include zero packet loss, network-wide load balancing, and over 98% high link utilization on average. Plus, link- and device-level switchovers are completed within milliseconds, and network-level switchovers within seconds. The three-level fast switchovers ensure reliable running of the data center network and efficiently unleash intelligent computing power.

• Xinghe Intelligent WAN: Drawing on an adaptive multi-path selection algorithm, Xinghe Intelligent WAN intelligently schedules millions of service flows on the entire network. And service bandwidth can be flexibly adjusted from 2 Mbit/s to 100 Gbit/s, fully utilizing idle network resources. Furthermore, latency-based path selection and one-click deployment of end-to-end network slicing ensure efficient data transmission for intelligent applications in various industries. By empowering network devices with AI, Xinghe Intelligent WAN can self-learn application traffic behavior, and detect and report application traffic exceptions in seconds through intelligent baseline monitoring. All of these ensure uncompromised experience for key applications.

• Xinghe Intelligent Network Security: As network security becomes one of top priorities, Huawei launched the Xinghe Intelligent Network Security Solution that provides enterprises with integrated intelligent security protection across clouds, networks, edges, and endpoints. Specifically, the security brain on the cloud has built-in inference rules and security detection models to automatically correlate security events, match handling policies, and ultimately handle 99% security events in a closed-loop approach. In particular, four security engines leverage AI algorithms to dynamically analyze traffic models in real time and detect threats at 99.95% accuracy. Plus, the industry's first two-dimensional threat graph engine enables parallel threat detection, with the ransomware detection rate reaching 100%.

In addition to launching Xinghe Intelligent Network solutions, Huawei also unveiled an extensive range of Xinghe Intelligent Industry Network solutions that cover diverse industries like public services, finance, energy, education, transportation, manufacturing, and healthcare. All of these cater to the differentiated requirements of various industries when they are stepping into the intelligent era.

Also at the summit, Huawei announced more than ten innovative products and solutions to best suit diverse use cases. Examples include all-scenario Wi-Fi 7, the industry's highest-density 400GE modular data center switch (a total of 640 400GE ports), the industry's unique switch with flexible cards from GE to 400GE, the industry's first 220 mm deep 400GE router, an all-in-one intelligent converged gateway, and Net Master (a network large model application). All of these will help build an intelligent network foundation for the AI era and accelerate intelligence across industries in the North Africa region.
