Huawei Enhances Connectivity with the Xinghe AI Campus Solution

During the Huawei Network Summit 2026, held in Johannesburg, South Africa, the global telecommunications giant Huawei introduced an advanced version of its "Xinghe AI Campus" solution, specifically designed for Southern Africa. Emphasizing the concept of "smart and secure connectivity," this upgraded solution is set to revolutionize network operations across various sectors in the region.

The improved Xinghe AI Campus boasts three primary features: ultra-fast wireless connectivity, comprehensive security measures, and autonomous network capabilities.

Ultra-Fast Wireless Connectivity

The centerpiece of the enhanced solution is the advanced AirEngine Wi-Fi 7 access point, which integrates innovative features expected from the forthcoming Wi-Fi 8 technology. This device leverages intelligent coordinated planning and spatial reuse technology (iCSSR), drastically reducing channel interference and effectively doubling the speed of individual users in continuous networking scenarios. Further innovating on user experience, Huawei's "zero roaming" ASFN (Advanced Same Frequency Network) technology merges multiple access points into a singular "super AP," ensuring seamless roaming across the network without packet loss.

Comprehensive Security Features

Huawei's solution also places great emphasis on security, addressing rising risks in sectors such as finance and public administration. The "Xinghe AI Full-Scope Security Campus" system provides comprehensive protection by ensuring asset safety, connectivity security, spatial safety, and privacy security.

• - Asset Security: The increase in passive terminal usage has made organizations vulnerable to cyber threats. Huawei mitigates this risk with AI-driven terminal identification, achieving 95% accuracy in recognizing non-intelligent terminals. Additionally, its SmartAD feature allows for rapid detection and proactive blockage of anomalous traffic behavior.
• - Connectivity Security: Unique technologies such as Huawei's Wi-Fi Shield eliminate the risks of packet interception while MACsec combined with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) guarantees long-term data transmission security.
• - Spatial Security: Huawei utilizes Wi-Fi CSI technology to assess spatial security effectively and can identify intrusions within seconds.
• - Privacy Security: The iGuard access point offers round-the-clock detection capabilities against hidden recording devices, safeguarding sensitive business information and personal privacy.

Autonomous Network Management

The "Xinghe AI Campus" solution also introduces powerful AI-based automation for operations and maintenance. By leveraging the iFlow system for comprehensive experience workflow analysis, Huawei enables rapid identification of quality of experience (QoE) deficits, enhancing user visibility and observability. With AI-driven decision-making and swift fault localization, the solution is capable of resolving 80% of wireless failures autonomously within minutes.

Insights from Huawei Leadership

During a panel discussion on the "Xinghe AI Secure Campus," Alex Sun, Vice President of the Data Communication Product Line, noted, "As we enter the era of AI, digital transformation in Southern Africa is rapidly advancing, yet current campus networks face escalating security demands and ineffective traditional operations and maintenance. To address these challenges, Huawei has upgraded its Xinghe AI Campus solution to assist local clients in creating a future-ready, ultra-fast, secure, and intelligent connectivity experience. This will ultimately promote business digitization and network modernization."

To support the broad adoption of CSI Wi-Fi 7 technologies, Huawei has initiated the "AirEngine Wi-Fi 7 CSI Sensing Challenge," gathering feedback and spotlighting innovative service scenarios from clients and partners.

Looking Ahead

Moving forward, Huawei remains committed to fostering the development of secure and intelligent campus networks powered by AI technology, paving the way for smarter campuses throughout Southern Africa. With these ambitious advancements, Huawei continues to strengthen its role in driving digital transformations in the region.
