Huawei's NG WAN Solution Set to Transform Telecommunications Industry Growth

Huawei's NG WAN Solution Transforming Telecom Growth

In an era defined by digital transformation, Huawei's Next Generation Wide Area Network (NG WAN) solution is making waves across the telecommunications sector, setting the stage for robust industry growth. During the recent Net5.5G Intelligent IP Network Summit, John Cai, Vice President of Huawei's Data Communication Product Line, emphasized the company's vision of harnessing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to navigate an uncertain future and bolster industry collaboration for shared advancement.

What is NG WAN?

NG WAN is designed to enable telecommunications providers to deliver superior network performance and security while accommodating the ever-increasing demands for data and connectivity. This solution incorporates multiple layers of security and advanced computing technologies to ensure that telecom providers can maintain high levels of service while effectively managing network risks.

Multi-layered Security Framework

Huawei's NG WAN features a sophisticated, multi-layered security architecture that includes device-level, link-level, and service-layer defenses. At the device level, the RDR (Real-time Detection and Response) solution employs independent Threat Protection Units (TPUs) and a multi-modal algorithm for behavior analysis. This innovation allows for the detection of over 95% of threats and the identification of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) in mere minutes.

At the data level, proprietary algorithms facilitate rapid traffic inspection and significantly reduce risks associated with Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. In real-world usage, these systems have successfully thwarted hundreds of cyber threats, showcasing their efficacy and resilience. A key highlight has been the promotion of a world-first quantum-secured target network in Macao, significantly boosting revenues from fixed-line services by 50%.

AI-Enhanced Computing Power

AI is becoming a cornerstone in operational strategies, which is where Huawei's NG WAN solution showcases its forte. Intelligent computing is notably sensitive to packet loss—just a 0.1% loss can result in a staggering 55% decline in computational power. However, NG WAN employs AI Fabric technology to optimize performance and ensure lossless computational capabilities over long distances.

The architecture supports expanded scaling while reducing hardware usage, presenting substantial efficiency improvements in data transmission and computational inference. Telecom providers leveraging this technology can offer better localized services, fostering increased monetization opportunities.
