Multi-Dimensional Awareness@2H: Accurate Encrypted Traffic Identification Enables Bit Business Experience Operations

Following a rise in encrypted Internet traffic, the rate of application identification has plummeted, rendering experience assurance increasingly ineffective. To tackle this challenge, Huawei has introduced the industry's first encrypted traffic identification engine—Xingluo Identification Engine. This engine boasts an identification accuracy exceeding 95% for encrypted traffic flows. It also constructs a multi-dimensional user service characteristics database, which is detailed enough to create user profiles with an accuracy of 90%. This aids carriers in swiftly acquiring new customers. The solution has helped AIS Thailand triple the customer base for its English Premier League live-streaming package.

Multi-Dimensional Awareness@2B: WAN Lossless Transmission Facilitates Token Business Monetization

In today's environment, using traditional networks to forward computing power data often results in significant data loss. Enterprises also must ensure that core sensitive data does not leave the campus.

Huawei's lossless intelligent computing boards enable zero packet loss transmission of computing power data, ensuring sustained computing efficiency. Leveraging the Xingluo lossless algorithm, Huawei transforms training-inference data into unbreakable high-dimensional vectors, safeguarding enterprise data and enabling carriers to offer distributed collaborative training-inference and storage-computing separation services.

China Telecom Shanghai and Huawei have collaboratively established a new intelligent computing network plane, enabling the deployment of shipping large models on cloud computing power. For remote inference over distances of 100 kilometers, computing efficiency has reached 95%, enabling the monetization of token services.

Security & Resilience: Intrinsic Network Security Builds a Highly Resilient Network Security Foundation

Network security is the lifeline of carriers. Huawei provides intelligent intrinsic security boards, which enable devices to instantly detect any unusual activity related to files, memory, processes, and traffic. They also promptly identify and block intrusions to prevent attacks from lurking or spreading.

To address route hijacking, Huawei has introduced an intelligent resilient main control board. Utilizing a 40-dimension knowledge graph, this board dynamically identifies the attributes of routing addresses, paths, and any tampering of routing information, ensuring zero route hijacking in critical situations.

Security & Resilience: Quantum-Secure Networks Seize New Opportunities in Quantum Private Lines

To address the growing threat of quantum cracking, Huawei has introduced a quantum security solution. This solution assists carriers in establishing quantum-secure bearer networks, ensuring zero leakage of user data.

Carriers can leverage Huawei's Xsec multi-point dynamic deployment solution to rapidly set up PQC-encrypted connections, enhancing the deployment efficiency of quantum private lines by 60%. Additionally, for carriers choosing the QKD route, Huawei has introduced the industry's first intrinsic QKD board—LPUI-Q. This board can be directly inserted into NetEngine 8000 series routers. Utilizing Huawei's unique noise suppression algorithm, the board facilitates the integration of QKD with communication networks. Carriers will not need to install additional equipment or lay extra optical fibers, thereby reducing the total investment required by over 60%.

Network Autonomy: Network Agents Reshape Network O&M

Traditional network management depends on offline data and expert analysis, leading to inefficiency and high costs. Huawei has introduced the intelligent O&M solution to offer round-the-clock network protection. Serving as the intelligent brain of the network, NetMaster simulates expert analysis, strategy formulation, and action execution, facilitating the transition from reactive to proactive O&M.

Moving forward, Huawei aims to help carriers develop secure, resilient, and autonomous networks with multi-dimensional awareness by upgrading IP bearer networks. This strategy is intended to drive new growth opportunities for carriers and foster mutual success in the Internet of Agents era.

MWC Barcelona 2026 will be held from March 2 to March 5 in Barcelona, Spain. During the event, Huawei will showcase its latest products and solutions at stand 1H50 in Fira Gran Via Hall 1.

The era of agentic networks is now approaching fast, and the commercial adoption of 5G-A at scale is gaining speed. Huawei is actively working with carriers and partners around the world to unleash the full potential of 5G-A and pave the way for the evolution to 6G. We are also creating AI-Centric Network solutions to enable intelligent services, networks, and network elements (NEs), speeding up the large-scale deployment of level-4 autonomous networks (AN L4), and using AI to upgrade our core business. Together with other industry players, we will create leading value-driven networks and AI computing backbones for a fully intelligent future.
