Huawei Upgrades Stellar Intelligent Network Line for Europe With Security and AI Focus

Stellar Intelligent Fabric: data center networking

For data centers, Huawei says it uses self-developed 100T switches to build a two-layer multi-plane architecture. According to the company, this quadruples the networking scale and cuts the number of switches and optical modules by 30%, lowering total cost of ownership (TCO).

Huawei also points to its Network Packet Load Balancing (NPLB) algorithm, which it says lifts network-wide link utilization to 98% and increases training and inference performance by over 7%. In multi-vendor environments, its xFlow technology enables intelligent full-flow analysis and fault demarcation within one minute, the company says. The AI Eagle-Eye Engine, it adds, completes root-cause analysis in minutes.

Stellar Intelligent WAN: cost and security

On the wide area network side, Huawei says its Starnet lossless algorithm achieves over 95% cross-region computing efficiency and cuts private-line costs by 60%. A layer-wise model partitioning technology, according to the company, keeps raw data on-premises and eliminates leakage risks.

Security features include:

• An intrinsic security board that detects and blocks intrusions in real time and traces threats in minutes with over 95% accuracy.
• A built-in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) board, described as first of its kind, which integrates communication and quantum security and cuts deployment costs by over 60%.
• An APN6-based data fencing solution to protect sensitive data.

Stellar Intelligent Campus Network and SME products

For campus networks, Huawei says multi-AP coordination and dynamic-zoom smart antennas reduce wireless interference by 84% and deliver twice the industry average networking performance. The full series of multi-GE switches and flexible right-to-use (RTU) licensing cut the TCO of 10 Gbps campus networks by over 30%, according to the company.

In operations and maintenance, Huawei says mean time to repair (MTTR) falls to within 5 minutes. Local intelligent inference on switches reduces threat detection time from 5 minutes to under 10 seconds. Wi-Fi Shield and end-to-end Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) are meant to keep wired and wireless links quantum-safe, and over 20 built-in inline smart algorithms in branch gateways raise unknown threat detection rates to 95% with millisecond-level blocking.

For small and medium-sized enterprises, Huawei introduced more mid-range to high-end eKit SME Network products:

• Aura10/AR580 series converged gateways, which integrate security functions such as antivirus and IPS, for workplaces.
• S630 series 10GE core switches, which merge switching and WAC functions to manage up to 1K APs, for hotels.
• AP362H APs, which feature built-in smart antennas to boost gains by 1.6x, for stores.

Energy saving for European compliance

To address Europe's green and low-carbon compliance requirements, Huawei says it has developed a three-level energy-saving framework covering device, network and operation levels. The company describes it as a foundation for an intelligent, low-carbon network.

All performance and cost figures come from Huawei's own announcement. The release does not mention pricing or availability for the upgraded solution or the new eKit products.
