At MWC Barcelona 2026, Huawei unveiled its upgraded Xinghe Intelligent WAN Solution. This solution provides a stable network foundation via upgraded intelligent identification, secure encryption, reliable convergence, and intelligent O&M to address digital transformation challenges facing the ISP, government, electric power, and transportation industries.

Identification experience upgrade: Eliminates unseen risks on fully encrypted networks. As all network traffic becomes encrypted, conventional identification techniques struggle to maintain high accuracy, leaving significant vulnerabilities in delivering seamless VIP experiences and robust content management. To tackle this challenge, Huawei Xinghe Intelligent WAN leverages NetTrans—an application identification model—and the industry's first encrypted app identification engine, achieving an identification accuracy of over 95% for encrypted traffic and automatic application signature updates every two hours. The solution also introduces the intelligent service board VSUF-800 with 50% performance improvement, enabling precise identification of major applications like video streaming and cloud gaming. By transforming a once-opaque black box network into an identifiable, monetizable, and intelligent network, this solution lays a foundation for service quality assurance.

Security experience upgrade: Builds a robust shield for data security in a world of quantum computers. The commercialization of quantum computing is advancing rapidly, leaving conventional security algorithms vulnerable to cracking. With quantum "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" attacks becoming more sophisticated, the likelihood of devastating data breaches in vital industries such as government and finance now exceeds 90%. Huawei Xinghe Intelligent WAN provides three countermeasures to implement quantum-resistant encryption—Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), external Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), and built-in QKD. The solution uses the Starnet network reflection algorithm to improve deployment efficiency by over 60%, and uses built-in QKD boards to integrate the communication network with the quantum network, eliminating the need for additional fiber deployment and device installation. This ensures zero data leaks while slashing the total TCO of enterprise network construction by over 60%.

Convergence experience upgrade: Implements a multi-service bearer on one network. Legacy SDH devices and scattered standalone devices result in high O&M expenses and hinder efficiency; many industries such as electric power and transportation demand accelerated network evolution toward IP intelligence. Huawei Xinghe intelligent WAN addresses these issues by using built-in multi-rate PCM boards to support all types of power terminals and implement a converged bearer of PDH, SDH, and IP services. The solution also replaces external teleprotection devices with built-in teleprotection boards, reducing the TCO of enterprise network construction by over 40% and building an intelligent foundation for all-service convergence.

O&M experience upgrade: Builds an intelligent autonomous network. To tackle critical challenges like large network scale, high O&M costs, and complex fault diagnosis, Huawei Xinghe Intelligent WAN builds an intelligent O&M system powered by the upgraded iMaster NCE controller, with a framework of one map (Network Digital Map) and one brain (NetMaster agent). Network Digital Map supports seven-layer visualization, and the NetMaster agent enables real-time conversational fault locating and root cause analysis. This intelligent O&M system reduces diagnostic time from four hours to just three minutes—dramatically boosting the O&M efficiency.

The four experience upgrades of Huawei Xinghe Intelligent WAN precisely address the differentiated requirements of four industries:

ISP industry: The NetEngine 8000E series routers help cut operational expenses and implement experience monetization. They guarantee premium network performance for VIP users by precisely identifying encrypted traffic and key applications. The compact NetEngine 8000E M1E-B, the 1U mini-BNG, helps slash enterprise investment by 50%.

Government industry: SRv6 over GRE enables site service provisioning in minutes, improving network deployment efficiency by 50% in remote areas. Hard slicing implements dedicated bearer channels for VIP services, improving government service efficiency by over 50%. Quantum encryption accelerates secure network deployment, achieving zero leaks of sensitive data and building a solid defense for government data.

Electric power industry: Multi-rate interfaces are capable of handling PDH, SDH, and IP services. The ultra-low jitter performance at the microsecond level meets stringent relay protection requirements. IP lossless protection ensures 99.9999% reliability of relay protection, with the differential latency deviation within 2 μs and annual service downtime within 30 seconds, facilitating the smooth transformation of traditional power networks to IP-based networks.

Transportation industry: The intelligent O&M system, with the one map, one brain framework, delivers an accuracy of 80% in fault diagnosis. Physical hard isolation ensures 99.999% network reliability for critical production services such as train control and dispatch, paving the way for evolution to the Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS). Meter-level accurate locating of optical fiber faults slashes optical fiber O&M costs by 70%, dramatically boosting both cost-efficiency and operational performance.

Huawei Xinghe Intelligent WAN leverages flagship NetEngine series routers and four upgraded core capabilities to tackle critical industry challenges head-on. It delivers intelligent, secure, converged, and autonomous network support, empowering digital and intelligent transformation across various industries. This solution is now ready to lead network transformation through intelligent identification and lay a secure foundation for various industries.
