Huawei Unveils NG WAN Architecture to Drive Service Provider Growth
Huawei Unveils NG WAN Architecture for Service Providers
During the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2026, Leon Wang, President of Huawei's Data Communication Product Line, revealed the company's latest innovation: the NG WAN architecture, designed specifically to accelerate growth for service providers in this evolving digital landscape. This initiative reflects Huawei’s commitment to modernizing IP bearer networks for the Internet of Agents era, prioritizing security, resilience, multidimensional insight, and network autonomy.
Modernizing IP Networks for Enhanced Growth
Huawei’s NG WAN aims to create a self-defending network foundation for service providers. This approach not only ensures an enhanced user experience but also accelerates revenue growth, boosts network efficiency, and facilitates intelligent connectivity. With an emphasis on safety and robustness, service providers are better equipped to respond to threats and maintain a high-quality service environment.
Introduction of the Xingluo Identification Engine
A standout feature of the NG WAN is the innovative Xingluo Identification Engine—the first encrypted traffic identification engine in the industry. With an impressive identification accuracy of over 95% for encrypted traffic flows, this engine empowers service providers to accurately discern and understand user and service characteristics. Furthermore, it assists in quickly acquiring new customers by creating highly detailed user profiles with a 90% accuracy rate.
Enhancing Computing Efficiency
Huawei has also introduced lossless intelligent computing boards that enable data transmission without packet loss. These boards ensure stable computing efficiency by converting training and inference data into robust high-dimensional vectors through the proprietary Xingluo lossless algorithm. This transformation allows for the provision of distributed collaborative training and inference services while securing business data.
Advanced Security Measures
Huawei's NG WAN architecture integrates advanced security features, including intelligent intrinsic security boards. These boards are capable of detecting unusual activities related to files, memory, processes, and traffic. They swiftly identify and block intrusions, allowing for effective defense against potential cyberattacks, thus mitigating risks of further compromise.
To combat route hijacking, Huawei has developed an intelligent resilient main control board equipped with a 40-dimensional knowledge graph. This system dynamically identifies attributes of routing addresses and paths while detecting any manipulation of routing information, ensuring zero-route hijacking during critical situations.
Quantum Security Solutions
Additionally, Huawei has introduced a groundbreaking quantum security solution. This system supports service providers in establishing quantum-secure bearer networks that protect user data from breaches. Service providers can utilize Huawei's Xsec multi-point dynamic deployment solution to quickly set up PQC-encrypted connections, increasing the efficiency of quantum private line implementation by 60%. For those opting for the Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) path, Huawei has rolled out the first intrinsic QKD board in the industry, allowing direct installation into NetEngine 8000 series routers, significantly reducing total investment costs for service providers by over 60%.
Network Autonomy with Intelligent Management
The NG WAN architecture introduces intelligent operations management (OM) solutions that ensure 24/7 network protection. Acting as the intelligent brain of the network, Netmaster simulates expert analysis, strategy formulation, and action execution, facilitating the transition from reactive to proactive network operations management.
In summary, Huawei's NG WAN architecture represents a significant step forward in enhancing the capabilities of service providers. By prioritizing security, efficiency, and user experience, Huawei is not merely adapting to current network demands but is setting the stage for future advancements in telecommunications.
As we progress into a more interconnected world, innovations like Huawei’s NG WAN will play a crucial role in shaping the landscape of internet services and connectivity.
