Huawei Enhances Stellar AI Network for Future Connectivity

At HUAWEI CONNECT 2026, Huawei unveiled its improved Stellar AI Network Solution, emphasizing secure and intelligent connectivity to respond to the needs of today's AI-driven world. With remarkable features such as efficient computing production, lossless transmission, and ultra-fast application execution, this solution is poised to enhance computing productivity while safeguarding services in the AI era.

The Surge of AI Adoption

The explosive adoption of AI technology has resulted in a staggering 260-fold increase in daily token consumption within a single year. In light of this, Huawei has revamped its Stellar AI Network, which encompasses AI Fabric, AI WAN, and AI Campus, focusing on intelligent connectivity and robust security to tackle the challenges presented by modern technological demands.

Stellar AI Fabric 2.0

Smart Connectivity Challenges

To meet challenges like rising network costs, slow protocol conversion, and traffic retransmission due to link instability, Huawei presented its UBG SF9300 switch series. Coupled with Ascend A5/A6 models, it forms a comprehensive UBG computing and networking solution. The architecture, featuring two layers and multiple planes, eliminates the need for a core layer, resulting in a 30% reduction in network deployment costs. The unification of protocols decreases end-to-end latency from 20μs to 11μs, and the link layer retransmission (LLR) achieves zero packet loss during link fluctuations, successfully cutting the annual service downtime in clusters by 100 hours.

Moreover, Huawei introduced its NPO CloudEngine XH9300-EN switch series, developed entirely in-house, which boasts three key advancements. The centralized light source design reduces interconnection energy consumption from 1,000W to 600W, thereby lowering the cluster's electricity costs. The close-to-encapsulation integration architecture cuts optical-electrical conversion latency by 180ns, optimizing single-node latency by 26%. Lastly, its snap-in structure permits onsite replacements, drastically reducing recovery times from days to hours.

Robust Security Protocols

Huawei's three-layer Security Guardrail solution protects against threats such as hash rate theft, prompt injection, and model poisoning. Specifically, Network Guardrail features a cryptojacking detection model with a 95% detection rate, blocking malicious traffic within milliseconds. Agent Guardrail ensures protection against prompt injection attacks with 95% accuracy and sub-150ms latency, while Host Guardrail monitors malicious processes in real-time, keeping CPU usage below 1%. In a real-world client environment, the solution identified 415 high-risk vulnerabilities and 322 threat events during its first week, utilizing AI to safeguard AI and ensure secure token generation.

Stellar AI WAN Solution

Addressing Regional Computation Challenges

Regional computing faces severe efficiency losses, high local infrastructure costs, and excessive private line expenses. To address these issues, Huawei's Stellar AI WAN solution enables lossless computing power transmission over distances exceeding 1,000 km. The lossless Starnet algorithm eradicates packet loss at long distances, boosting remote computing efficiency to over 95%. This approach employs a layered model partitioning algorithm for AI model execution, which keeps raw data strictly on local premises and slashes initial resource costs by 75%. Furthermore, the interplay of computing and communication reduces bandwidth downtime by over 80%, requiring only a fraction of the original bandwidth.

Advanced WAN Security Measures

Huawei's multidimensional WAN defense technology counteracts novel vectors, including Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and HNDL attacks. At the device layer, intrinsic security cards block intrusions in real-time, accurately tracking threats within minutes, while visualizing attack paths of up to 100 hops. On the link layer, integrated Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology provides robust security without requiring additional devices, cutting implementation costs by over 60% and extending transmission distances to 80 km. Additionally, the APN6-based data isolation technique allows for controlled traffic routing across the network, ensuring confidential data flows securely.

Stellar AI Campus Network

Intelligent Connectivity for Business

With business agents poised to reach a 50% adoption rate this year, manual operation and maintenance can no longer meet 24/7 demands, necessitating a minute-level fault recovery capability. Huawei is achieving this by improving network autonomy across various scenarios using data, models, and tools. The patented network recognition technology accurately gathers over 25 unique data types with a 100ms sampling cycle to detect subtle anomalies. The Deep Causal Pruning (DCP) algorithm optimizes AI models, reducing inference errors by over 20% and increasing troubleshooting accuracy to 95%. The iFlow 2.0 distributed simulation technology enables 24/7 inference path verification, ensuring AI-driven operations across the network and cutting Mean Time To Recovery (MTTR) to below five minutes for mission-critical service experiences.

Security Challenges and Solutions

Modern enterprises are increasingly challenged by the rapid exploitation of simple terminal vulnerabilities and hidden malicious interactions from agents. Huawei's Stellar AI Campus Network Asset Security 2.0 solution addresses these concerns through collaborative protection between terminals and the network. By integrating micro AI models within switches, the solution reduces threat detection times on simple terminals from five minutes to under ten seconds. Powered by proprietary compact AI models and large semantic models based on NPU, it fully reconstructs agent interaction scenarios, increasing the detection rate of malicious commands to 95% while eliminating potential risks and securing campus networks and services.

As we look ahead, Huawei remains committed to innovation within its Stellar AI Network products and solutions, aligning with the vision of 'AI for All, Everything in Secure IP', and maximizing the value of every connection alongside clients and partners in the AI era.
