Huawei Unveils Enhanced Stellar AI Network at HUAWEI CONNECT 2026

Huawei Unveils Enhanced Stellar AI Network

At the recent HUAWEI CONNECT 2026 event held in Shanghai, Huawei showcased its cutting-edge Stellar AI Network Solution, reinforcing its dedication to secure and intelligent connectivity. This innovative solution boasts efficient computing performance, lossless data transfer, and super-fast application capabilities, fully preparing businesses for the age of artificial intelligence.

Addressing the Growing Demand for AI

With the rapid proliferation of AI technology, the demand for daily token consumption has surged by 260 times within just one year. In response, Huawei's enhanced Stellar AI Network, which includes AI Fabric, AI WAN, and AI Campus, focuses on smart connectivity and security to meet this escalating need.

Stellar AI Fabric 2.0

To tackle challenges such as rising network costs, slow protocol conversion, and traffic re-transmissions stemming from connection fluctuations, Huawei has launched the UBG switch series SF9300. When deployed alongside the Ascend A5/A6, this toolkit creates a comprehensive integrated computing-network solution. Notably, its two-layered, multi-plane architecture reduces setup costs by 30% while the unified protocol cuts end-to-end latency from 20 microseconds to 11 microseconds. The Layered Link Re-transmission (LLR) mechanism effectively eliminates packet loss during connection fluctuations, reducing the annual downtime of cluster services by 100 hours. Furthermore, Huawei introduced the CloudEngine XH9300-EN series NPO switches, engineered with three key innovations to offer unprecedented performance.

1. Centralized Light Source Design: This design reduces the power consumption of connection lines from 1,000 W to 600 W, leading to significant electrical savings.
2. Proximity Architecture: This reduces optical-electrical conversion latency by 180 nanoseconds and optimizes single-node latency by 26%.
3. Pluggable Pass-Through Connection Structure: This enables on-site replacements, shortening troubleshooting times from days to hours.

Security Measures

Huawei's Three-Layer Security Protection Solution effectively guards against hash rate theft, sudden injections, and model poisoning attacks. The integrated Network Guardrail prevents malicious traffic in milliseconds with a detection rate exceeding 95%. Similarly, Agent Guardrail protects against instant injection attacks with a below 150-millisecond latency and a 95% accuracy rate. The Host Guardrail meticulously monitors harmful transactions while keeping CPU usage under 1%. A real-life customer deployment saw 415 high-risk vulnerabilities and 322 threat events detected within the first week, ensuring AI safety and secure token generation throughout the process.

Stellar AI WAN

Facing problems such as serious efficiency loss and high intra-facility costs associated with long-distance computing, Huawei's Stellar AI WAN Solution ensures lossless data transfer of computing power over 1,000 km. Utilizing the Starnet lossless algorithm, this groundbreaking solution eliminates long-distance packet loss, elevating remote computing efficiency above 95%. The XH computing-network device employs a tiered model partitioning algorithm, enabling local operations of initial and final layers while only transmitting high-dimensional vectors over the network. This approach ensures raw data remains on-premises and reduces the xPU costs at branches by fourfold. Furthermore, overlapping computing and communication reduces bandwidth wastage by over 80%, effectively quintupled bandwidth requirements.

Security Defenses

Huawei's multi-dimensional WAN defense technology provides critical protection against new attack vectors such as APTs and HNDL attacks. At the device level, internal security cards enable real-time intrusion prevention, detecting threats with over 95% accuracy within minutes while visualizing attack paths up to 100 hops. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) provides robust quantum security at the connection layer without the need for extra devices, cutting construction costs by over 60% while extending transmission distances up to 80 km. On the network layer, the APN6-based data limiting feature guarantees the secure transfer of sensitive data by controlling traffic paths throughout the network.

Stellar AI Campus Network

With corporate agent adoption rates expected to approach 50% this year, manual operations struggle to meet the demands of 24/7 service. Huawei addresses this by enhancing network autonomy across data, models, and tools for diverse scenarios. The proprietary network awareness technology gathers support for over 25 specialized data types, facilitating the precise detection of subtle anomalies through a 100 ms sampling cycle. The Deep Causal Pruning (DCP) algorithm enhances AI models while cutting inference errors by over 20% and boosting troubleshooting accuracy to 95%. The iFlow 2.0 distributed simulation technology enables continuous verification of inference paths, allowing for AI-supported operations that average repair times below 5 minutes and guarantee critically essential service experiences.

Future Vision

As businesses face the swift takeover of non-smart terminals and confidential malicious interactions by agents, Huawei's Stellar AI Campus Network Asset Security 2.0 solution addresses these issues through endpoint-network collaborative protection. By integrating AI micro models into switches, this solution reduces threat detection times on passive terminals from 5 minutes to under 10 seconds. Supported by proprietary AI Core small models and NPU semantic large models, this system recreates agent interaction scenarios comprehensively, raising the malicious command detection rate to 95% and safeguarding campus networks and services.

Looking ahead, Huawei commits to continuous innovation in Stellar AI Network products and solutions. Emphasizing the vision of "AI for Everyone, Secure IP for Everyone," Huawei aims to maximize the value of every connection alongside its customers and partners in this new artificial intelligence era.
