- 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.
