Huawei launches upgraded Xinghe AI Campus Solution at HNS 2026

JOHANNESBURG, July 27, 2026 — At the Huawei Network Summit 2026 South Africa, Huawei unveiled its upgraded Xinghe AI Campus Solution for the Southern Africa region, built on the "Secure and Intelligent Connectivity" philosophy. The company also hosted the AirEngine Wi-Fi 7 CSI Sensing Challenge Awards ceremony. These initiatives underscore Huawei's commitment to advancing intelligence across industries alongside customers and partners.

Core Capabilities of the Upgraded Xinghe AI Campus Solution

The solution features three core capabilities: superfast wireless, full-scope security, and network autonomy.

Superfast Wireless

Huawei's first-of-its-kind AirEngine Wi-Fi 7 Advanced AP incorporates anticipated Wi-Fi 8 innovations for higher speed and reliability.

• Intelligent Coordinated Scheduling and Spatial Reuse (iCSSR): A multi-AP coordination technology that dramatically reduces co-channel interference while doubling single-user speed in continuous networking scenarios.
• Advanced Same Frequency Network (ASFN) zero-roaming technology: Virtualizes multiple APs into a single "super AP," enabling seamless roaming across the entire network with zero packet loss.

Full-Scope Security

Huawei's Xinghe AI Full-Scope Security Campus Solution creates a robust defense system featuring four security dimensions:

• Asset Security: AI clustering-based terminal identification automatically recognizes dumb terminals with 95% accuracy. Smart anomaly detection (SmartAD) detects terminal traffic behavior anomalies in seconds and proactively blocks them.
• Connectivity Security: Huawei's exclusive Wi-Fi Shield technology eliminates the risk of packet eavesdropping at the physical layer. End-to-end MACsec combined with Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) provides long-term security for data transmission, even as quantum computing matures.
• Spatial Security: Wi-Fi CSI sensing technology detects spatial security conditions through a single AP and identifies intrusions in seconds.
• Privacy Security: The iGuard AP enables comprehensive and precise detection of hidden imaging devices, operating 24/7 to safeguard trade secrets and personal privacy.

Network Autonomy

The Xinghe AI Campus Solution offers powerful AI-driven automated O&M capabilities:

• iFlow enables all-flow experience analysis, poor-QoE demarcation in minutes, full-path visibility, and experience observability.
• AI-powered global decision-making and minute-level fault locating allow 80% of wireless faults to be automatically resolved.

Industry Perspectives

Speaking at the Xinghe AI Secure Campus roundtable, Alex Sun, Vice President of the Campus Network Domain, Huawei's Data Communication Product Line, said:

"As the AI era arrives, digital transformation across Southern Africa gains momentum, yet today's campus networks are facing challenges such as rising security demands and inefficient traditional O&M. In response, Huawei has upgraded its Xinghe AI Campus Solution to help local customers create future-ready, ultra-fast, secure, and intelligent connectivity experience, driving forward enterprise digitization and network upgrades."

AirEngine Wi-Fi 7 CSI Sensing Challenge

To drive industry-wide adoption of Wi-Fi 7 CSI sensing technologies, Huawei organized the AirEngine Wi-Fi 7 CSI Sensing Challenge campaign. The initiative is designed to gather insights from customers and partners while uncovering innovative service scenarios.

At the roundtable, Lang Junming, Marketing Director of Huawei's Enterprise Network Marketing & Solution Sales Department, presented awards to the local winners from Southern Africa.

Looking Ahead

Huawei will intensify efforts in AI-powered secure and intelligent campus networks, injecting strong momentum into the high-quality development of secure AI campuses.
