At MWC Barcelona 2026, Huawei introduced its next-generation NG WAN architecture, a pioneering solution designed to elevate carrier networks for the Internet of Agents era.
Built with a focus on security, resilience, multi-dimensional awareness, and network autonomy, NG WAN empowers carriers to build intelligent, self-defending wide area networks that enhance experience assurance, accelerate revenue growth, and unlock new business opportunities.
What Is Huawei NG WAN?
The NG WAN solution reimagines traditional IP bearer networks for the AI era by embedding advanced capabilities that support secure, high-performance, and intelligent connectivity:
Multi-Dimensional Awareness: Leveraging the Xingluo Identification Engine, NG WAN offers industry-leading encrypted traffic identification with over 95 percent accuracy and builds detailed user service profiles for better experience-centric operations, Huawei said at the Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona.
Lossless Intelligent Transmission: With intelligent computing boards and the Xingluo lossless algorithm, the architecture delivers zero-packet-loss transmission of computing data — critical for distributed AI training, inference, and computation-network services.
Security and Resilience: Advanced intrinsic security boards and knowledge-graph-driven routing controls protect networks from intrusions, dynamic attacks, and route hijacking. Quantum-secure bearer network options help carriers safeguard user data and deploy quantum encrypted links more efficiently.
Network Autonomy: The NG WAN architecture supports proactive O&M through intelligent automation and NetMaster’s round-the-clock expert-level analysis and strategy execution, transitioning carriers from reactive to proactive operations.
Transforming Carriers for the Agentic Future
Designed for the evolution toward 5G-Advanced, 6G, and agentic networks, the NG WAN architecture equips carriers with the tools they need to support emerging services, encrypted traffic challenges, and distributed AI workloads at scale. This approach helps operators improve network efficiency, strengthen security posture, and create differentiated service offerings that resonate with customers in an increasingly interconnected digital world. The launch of NG WAN at MWC Barcelona 2026 reflects Huawei’s commitment to helping global carriers transition from traditional connectivity models to intelligent, autonomous network infrastructures that support experience-driven innovation and long-term business growth.
