Huawei Unveils Innovative Security Solution at MWC 2026
At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026 in Barcelona, Huawei introduced its groundbreaking
Xinghe AI Full-Scope Security Campus Solution, a transformative approach aimed at redefining campus security through artificial intelligence (AI). This initiative reflects Huawei's commitment to fostering a secure and efficient network infrastructure in the face of evolving cyber threats.
Enhancing Campus Security with AI
According to
Shawn Zhao, President of Huawei’s Campus Network Domain for Data Communication products, the introduction of AI has revolutionized campus networks. He stated, "In the age of AI, campus networks extend beyond mere connectivity; they now serve as secure nodes bridging the digital and physical worlds. The Xinghe solution embodies this vision, providing comprehensive security over assets, connectivity, spaces, and privacy."
Key Features of the Xinghe Solution
The
Xinghe AI Full-Scope Security Campus Solution employs a multitude of advanced techniques, promising a new standard in security management:
1.
Asset Security: Leveraging clustering-based identification techniques, the solution can automatically recognize non-smart devices with 95% accuracy. By combining behavior anomaly detection of terminals with local inference on switches, it can swiftly identify abnormal terminal behavior, blocking them proactively to mitigate potential intrusions.
2.
Connection Security: To eliminate the risk of data interception at the physical layer, Huawei utilizes
Wi-Fi Shield. Furthermore, end-to-end encryption is ensured through the implementation of
MACsec and post-quantum encryption (PQC) technologies, thereby maintaining robust data protection even as quantum computing evolves.
3.
Space Security: The solution monitors security status across campus networks using a single wireless access point (AP), enabling the rapid detection of unauthorized activities.
4.
Privacy Security: With the
iGuard AP, Huawei accurately detects illegal recording devices, such as hidden cameras, to safeguard commercial secrets and personal privacy in sensitive areas like executive offices and hotel rooms.
New Innovations Unveiled
Alongside the security solution, Huawei launched several innovative products for campus networks, including:
- - AirEngine Pre Wi-Fi 8 AP: Utilizing Intelligent Coordinated Scheduling combined with Spatial Reuse (iCSSR) technology, this AP minimizes interference on the same channel and doubles network performance. The Smart Beamforming technology detects user movement in milliseconds, ensuring no speed degradation, even with mobile terminals. Moreover, the Advanced Same Frequency Network (ASFN) aggregates multiple APs into a single virtual super AP, allowing seamless roaming.
- - Twin Switch CloudEngine: To prevent access disruptions on terminals with single uplinks, these switches employ a multi-switch matrix architecture, ensuring fault recovery in under a second and uninterrupted updates, guaranteeing a high-performance network experience.
Looking Ahead
Moving forward, Huawei is committed to continuing its innovation journey to establish high-quality campus networks reaching 10 Gbps, promoting industry intelligence in collaboration with partners, customers, and industry organizations. With initiatives like the
Xinghe AI Full-Scope Security Campus, Huawei sets a new bar for securing campus environments, highlighting the fusion of
AI and cybersecurity.
Huawei’s unveiling of this advanced solution marks a significant step in the convergence of AI and network security, setting a new standard for future developments in the domain.
In conclusion, as campuses increasingly become hotspots for digital activities, the need for comprehensive security solutions like
Huawei's Xinghe enhances not only the safety of the physical space but also fosters a culture of trust and reliability in digital communications—in an age where connectivity is more critical than ever.
