LONDON, Feb. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- Enterprises Now Have Access to Fully Wireless, Optical, and Intelligent

Network Services across Campuses

Today, Huawei released its HiCampus solution globally. Powered by Huawei's

pioneering 5G, optical transmission, and AI technologies, the solution provides

enterprises with fully wireless access, optical connections, and intelligent

services across their entire campuses. HiCampus is designed to help enterprises

build next-generation networks that deliver an improved user experience, lower

power consumption, and faster service innovation.

Qiu Heng, President of Global Marketing, Huawei Enterprise Business Group,

said: "Huawei has released the HiCampus solution globally to significantly

improve the campus network experience. This is achieved through innovative

capabilities including the 5G-powered AirEngine Wi-Fi 6 which enables fully

wireless access across campuses; the Campus OptiX solution which delivers fully

optical campus connections; and AI and the Horizon Digital Platform that allow

fully intelligent campus O&M and services. HiCampus demonstrates Huawei's

leading advantages in 5G, optical transmission and AI technologies. The

solution enables users to benefit from an always-on 100Mbps Wi-Fi network

anytime, anywhere within a campus, and it lowers overall network power

consumption by 30% while improving collaboration efficiency by 30%. This will

greatly accelerate the digital transformation of enterprise campuses."

Fully wireless access: AirEngine Wi-Fi 6 series products, powered by Huawei 5G

technology, achieves 10 Gbit/s, 10ms latency, and 20% larger coverage radius

compared to the industry standard, achieving high-quality, fully wireless

access across campuses.

Huawei is launching a total of 10 new Wi-Fi 6 Access Points (AP) in 3 series

(AirEngine 8700, AirEngine 6700, and AirEngine 5700), covering various indoor

and outdoor scenarios. The flagship product AirEngine 8760 leverages the 16T16R

5G technology and 160 MHz bandwidth to increase the air interface rate up to

10.75 Gbit/s, which is twice the industry's standard performance. The Smart

Antenna powered by 5G technology allows Huawei AirEngine Wi-Fi 6 to achieve 20%

larger coverage radius and 100% greater (same location) signal strength

compared with the industry standard.

To enable enterprises' critical operations to access the Wi-Fi network, Huawei

AirEngine Wi-Fi 6 series products use Huawei's SmartRadio uplink application

acceleration technology (another key component of Huawei's 5G products) to

achieve ultra-low latency within 10ms, which is 50% lower than the industry

standard, guaranteeing an optimal network experience for mission-critical

services. By leveraging SmartRadio's exclusive lossless roaming technologies,

the solution ensures zero packet loss during key service roaming and a 100%

roaming success rate to prevent campus service interruption.

Leveraging 5G technology, Huawei AirEngine Wi-Fi 6 is more than just another

AP. It guarantees Wi-Fi 6 continuous networking at scale, enabling users to

benefit from an unprecedented, always-on 100Mbps Wi-Fi network at any time and

from anywhere within a campus.

Fully optical network: The Campus OptiX solution simplifies network

architecture to reduce equipment room space and power consumption, helping

customers build environmentally friendly campus networks.

With over a decade of industry experience and leadership in optical

transmission, Huawei aims to provide campus networks that address customers'

service demands. As such, Huawei was recognized as a January 2020 Gartner Peer

Insights Customers' Choice for Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure.

The Campus OptiX network solution enables fully optical networks that feature

easy deployment, continuous evolution, and intelligent management in enterprise

offices, educational institutions, hotels, airports and other campus scenarios.

The solution allows customers to introduce Huawei's world-leading optical

access technologies in an innovative campus network architecture, while taking

into consideration changes in cloud services and intelligent devices.

Huawei Campus OptiX network solution integrates fully optical architecture and

IP network advantages such as ultra-large-capacity IP switches and AirEngine

Wi-Fi 6 series products (with optical ports) to provide ultra-broadband bearer

capabilities and meet enterprise service needs in the next three decades. This

is unprecedented in the industry. Without the aggregation layer, the fully

optical network architecture greatly reduces the space that the solution needs

in weak-current equipment rooms, and lowers overall network power consumption

by 30% compared to traditional campuses. The switching capacity of Huawei's

flagship core switch is six times that of similar devices in the industry. The

capacity can be further expanded on demand, meeting enterprise service needs in

the foreseeable future and protecting their return on investment.

In addition, the solution uses optical fibers as the network medium. Made from

silicon dioxide, fiber is more sustainable and eco-friendly than copper cables.

Fully intelligent services: AI-powered network management enables highly

efficient O&M whereby one technician can maintain the network of an entire

campus. The Horizon Digital Platform allows an upgrade from single-scenario

campus intelligence to overall campus intelligence to accelerate application

innovation and improve operational efficiency.

The HiCampus solution uses eSight, an AI-powered unified management platform,

to centrally operate and maintain various devices in the campus and

automatically optimize wireless radio frequencies (RFs) based on the analysis

of historical network behavior and model learning. With eSight in place,

customers can identify and locate more than 85% faults within 10 minutes,

improving O&M efficiency by 80%.

To reduce network disruption, Huawei AirEngine Wi-Fi 6 uses independent radio

probes that can accurately detect environment data and the iMaster NCE system

to achieve AI-powered intelligent O&M across the entire network. This enables

monitoring of network quality in real time and automatic optimization of the

network to lower the rate of network faults. In this way, one technician can

maintain the network of an entire campus.

To support future campus scenarios, technologies such as voice recognition,

facial recognition, image recognition, autonomous driving, big data mining, and

knowledge graphs will be integrated into campus management and operations. This

will require data convergence, IT-OT system convergence, service convergence,

and on-demand service innovation enablement. The Horizon Digital Platform for

campuses integrates 10 new technologies, including AI, big data, and IoT, and

provides hundreds of services covering business assets, integration, and data

assets accumulated from successful customers practices. This greatly improves

service innovation speed and campus operational efficiency. A proven solution,

the Horizon Digital Platform improves collaboration efficiency by 30%,

increases management efficiency by 30%, and lowers overall power consumption by

10%.

According to Huawei's enterprise business market insights, over 80% of the

global GDP and over 90% of innovation take place on campuses; making campuses

the cornerstone of a digital world. Leveraging the HiCampus solution, Huawei

will work with ecosystem partners to continuously help customers achieve

optimal experience, eco-friendly operations, efficient O&M, and agile

innovation.
