At the Huawei Analyst Summit 2024, Steven Zhao, Vice President of Huawei‘s Data Communication Product Line, delivered a compelling speech titled “Accelerating Network Transformation Towards All Intelligence.” Zhao illuminated how Huawei is leveraging AI technologies to elevate network capabilities at various levels and hasten the journey towards network intelligence. Industry partners in attendance explored the current trajectories and future potentials of the Net5.5G sector.
The Vision for Network Intelligence:
“As AI technologies progress, we are witnessing a pivotal moment for deploying network intelligence,” stated Steven Zhao. “Networks must seamlessly integrate with AI technologies to propel Net5.5G networks into the era of intelligence.” He emphasized that network innovation in the Net5.5G era encompasses two pivotal dimensions: AI for Networks and Networks for AI. Intelligent network elements, digital twins, and generative AI serve as the foundation for efficient, intelligent network operations. Conversely, AI-powered network solutions not only cater to the needs of intelligent networks but also supercharge AI training and optimize the transmission capacity of intelligent computing.
Huawei’s Trailblazing Initiatives:
Huawei stands at the forefront of applying network intelligence technologies in the data communication realm. Notably, Huawei’s Net Master, driven by generative AI, and HD network digital map are accelerating the transition towards L4 autonomous networks. The Net5.5G High-Quality 10 Gbps CloudCampus harnesses AI technologies to enhance wireless, application, and operations and maintenance (O&M) experiences. Furthermore, the Net5.5G Converged WAN offers intelligent transmission capacity for the computing power era, boasting high throughput, elasticity, and performance guarantees. Additionally, HiSec SASE enhances security operations efficiency through intelligent defense mechanisms.
Real-world Success Stories:
Ethan, Infrastructure Network Director at iFlytek, shared their innovative collaboration with Huawei’s Net5.5G Xinghe Data Center Network Solution. This solution empowers iFlytek with a cluster of over 10,000 GPUs/NPUs, elevating AI model training efficiency by 17% and reducing AI training interruptions by 80%.
Industry Initiatives and Collaborations:
In 2024, Net5.5G marks its commercial debut. At the summit, the World Broadband Association (WBBA) and its members unveiled Net5.5G industry initiatives aimed at constructing high-speed, premium network infrastructures. Additionally, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) delved into Net5.5G next-generation Internet architectures, ushering in a new wave of innovation in network technology.
A Call to Action:
Steven Zhao urged all industry stakeholders to collectively embrace Net5.5G, integrate intelligent technologies, deploy network digital twins at scale, and foster AI technology innovation. By doing so, the industry can accelerate network transformation towards all intelligence, paving the way for a more connected and efficient future. Explore more at Router-switch.com.
