From 5G to Net5.5G: Boundless Networking for the World.

One of the leaders in this field is Huawei, a global company that primarily manufactures telecommunications equipment and devices. This includes the "Xinghe Intelligent Network", which aims to significantly advance the development of data communication in the network sector. The Xinghe Intelligent Network is based on Huawei's Net5.5G technology[i]. Net5.5G is Huawei's evolution of the 5G network with speeds of up to 10Gbps, support for 100 billion connections, and latency of only 10ms. With technologies such as optimized network slicing and AI-enabled network management, it facilitates applications such as ultra-high-definition video, IoT, augmented reality and virtual reality. The aim is to drive digital transformation, promote industrial applications and optimize the customer experience. Net5.5G involves collaboration with various players in the telecommunications industry to enhance network performance and efficiency. This will enable enterprises to scale, innovate and secure their operations with unprecedented efficiency. 

An ecosystem for networking

If Huawei has its way, Xinghe Intelligent Network will revolutionize the way enterprises manage their connectivity needs. It's not just about faster internet, it's about creating an ecosystem that meets the growing needs of modern businesses, from streaming ultra-high-definition content to managing an enormous number of IoT devices. The potential benefits of Xinghe are clear. The network technology will enable better service for customers and internal teams, and ensure that all applications run smoothly. Xinghe adapts as the business evolves, offering scalability without the need for major network overhauls. Security is another cornerstone of Xinghe: AI-driven protocols protect an organization's digital assets in this era of increased cyber threats. 

AI for an intelligent network

Xinghe is based on an intelligent network fabric that acts as an intelligent traffic controller to manage network traffic. This intelligent fabric[iii] ensures that bottlenecks are avoided and a smooth flow of data is guaranteed. Xinghe's Intelligent WAN component[iv] focuses on optimizing data paths between sites or to the cloud, which can be critical for multi-site enterprises. Another component is the Xinghe Intelligent Campus[v]. In larger buildings, the intelligent campus network ensures high-quality connectivity for all staff and students. Finally, Xinghe's security measures use artificial intelligence not only to detect threats, but also to predict and mitigate them before they impact operations.

The competition doesn't rest

Huawei's Xinghe Intelligent Network is not alone. Cisco Systems offers similar intelligent network solutions with its Digital Network Architecture (DNA) and Intent-Based Networking (IBN). Juniper Networks is focusing on AI-based network optimization with its Mist AI platform. Nokia is competing with its Digital Automation Cloud (DAC), which targets industrial applications. Arista Networks brings its own automated and intelligent network solutions to the table with CloudVision and Cognitive WiFi. These companies all offer technologies that make networks more efficient, secure and adaptable by integrating automation and artificial intelligence, similar to Xinghe's ambitions.

What can the intelligent network do in your company?

Smart networks, like digital transformation as a whole, are designed to improve operational efficiency, whether in manufacturing, healthcare or education, by providing a network infrastructure that supports smarter and more connected work environments. Huawei's Xinghe technology is already in use in Asia, including China Construction Bank, the University of Hong Kong, and Tsinghua University in Beijing. 

The world is undergoing a transition from digitalization to artificial intelligence. Huawei's cooperation with UMB, a Huawei Gold Partner, brings this progress at the network level to companies in Switzerland. UMB is not only a distributor, but also an innovation partner that ensures the seamless integration of Huawei technologies into local business environments. One of the most important offerings is the UMB Network Connector. This service simplifies the integration of complex network solutions such as Xinghe. UMB's expertise enables customers to take full advantage of Xinghe's benefits. UMB offers customized solutions and continuous support from installation to maintenance to ensure that your network continues to function optimally.
