At MWC Barcelona 2023, Steven Zhao, Vice President of Huawei's Data 
Communication Product Line, launched the Digital Managed Network Solution and 
products for carriers' B2B services. It will help carriers seize digital 
transformation opportunities and boost new growth. This solution provides 
digital managed network capabilities and rich product portfolios, helping 
carriers transform from ISPs to MSPs.

As industry digitalization gains momentum, two trends are becoming increasingly 
evident. The first is that cloud-based enterprise service applications extend 
from office systems to production systems, requiring better quality assurance 
and a more secure network environment. The second is that enterprise networks 
evolve towards fully wireless and network management shifts from static to 
dynamic, all of which complicate network assurance and necessitate real-time 
management capabilities. In particular, small- and medium-sized enterprises 
(SMEs) lack the necessary funds and talent to follow these trends and are 
therefore in urgent need of high-quality and affordable managed services. 
Carriers have a large number of private line customers and boast three 
advantages: strong customer relationships, best-in-class network connectivity, 
and professional experience. As such, it is easier for carriers to provide 
managed network services for enterprise customers and quickly gain market 
growth.

Leading global carriers are actively transforming into digital managed network 
service providers. To facilitate this, Huawei launched the Digital Managed 
Network Solution and products at this year's MWC. These new offerings help 
carriers add digital managed network services — including Managed LAN, Managed 
WAN, Managed security, and Managed DCN — on top of IP private lines. These 
offerings can also enable carriers to upgrade the quality assurance and 
automation capabilities of their network infrastructures for differentiated 
site-to-cloud private lines.

Featured offerings include the following:
-Private Line + Managed LAN: By leveraging cloud management technology, Private 
Line + Managed LAN helps carriers expand from traditional private lines into 
campus networks. In this way, carriers can offer converged cloud-managed 
network services across LANs, WLANs, and IoT. The resulting benefits include 
fast plug-and-play delivery, intelligent O&M for fault diagnosis in minutes, 
85% less field support needed, and 20% shorter return on investment (ROI) time.
-Private Line + Managed WAN: Drawing on SD-WAN networking technology, Private 
Line + Managed WAN enables hybrid networking of traditional MPLS private lines 
and other private line technologies. This helps enterprises quickly migrate to 
the cloud. Plus, 5G fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) and service-specific 
flexible traffic steering offer differentiated access experience and improve 
network service reliability. All of this ultimately strikes a perfect balance 
between service requirements and IT costs while also increasing the average 
revenue per user (ARPU) of private lines by more than 15%.
-Private Line + Managed Security: Building on a cloud service architecture, 
Private Line + Managed Security helps carriers offer affordable cloud security 
service packages to enterprises. As such, enterprises can subscribe online to 
many security services, such as border protection, endpoint protection, and 
ransomware protection. In this way, enterprises benefit from threat handling in 
seconds while reducing expenditure on dedicated security IT personnel, and 
carriers can increase their revenue of private line services by 20%.
-Private Line + Managed DCN: Featuring private line-IDC synergy, Private Line + 
Managed DCN streamlines services inside and outside the cloud while 
provisioning services in minutes. This is made possible with Huawei's 
hyper-converged DCN solution that unifies general-purpose computing, 
high-performance computing, and storage networks into all-Ethernet. In turn, 
this cuts the TCO by 36% and accelerates enterprises' cloud journey.
-Private Line Upgrades: Carriers can leverage the industry's first tenant-level 
network slicing capability to achieve Mbps-level slice granularity and service 
SLA assurance, maximizing network monetization. They can also draw on the 
industry's first digital network map for real-time visibility from physical 
links to services, as well as full-journey automation spanning pre-sales 
evaluation, during-sales deployment, and after-sales assurance of private line 
services.

Looking ahead, Zhao said Huawei will continue to invest more in innovative 
products and solutions tailored to industry digital transformation and carry 
out joint innovation with customers and industry partners. Doing so will help 
carriers transform into digital managed network service providers, accelerate 
industry digital development, and boost new growth.

MWC Barcelona 2023 runs from February 27 to March 2 in Barcelona, Spain. Huawei 
showcases its products and solutions at stand 1H50 in Fira Gran Via Hall 1. 
Together with global operators, industry professionals, and opinion leaders, we 
dive into topics such as 5G business success, 5.5G opportunities, green 
development, digital transformation, and our vision of using the GUIDE business 
blueprint to lay the foundation for 5.5G and build on the success of 5G for 
even greater prosperity. For more information, please visit:
