Huawei Unveils AI-Powered Xinghe Security Campus Solution at MWC 2026

At Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, Huawei introduced its Xinghe AI Full-Scope Security Campus Solution, a new platform designed to strengthen campus network security in the evolving AI-driven digital environment. Alongside this announcement, Huawei also revealed the first commercial release of its AirEngine Pre Wi-Fi 8 Access Point, a next-generation wireless product aimed at improving network reliability, performance, and usability for modern enterprise campuses.

During the announcement, Shawn Zhao, President of the Campus Network Domain within Huawei’s Data Communication Product Line, highlighted how campus networks are rapidly evolving in the age of artificial intelligence.

“In the era of AI, campus networks have evolved from being a simple means of communication to becoming a secure hub connecting the digital and physical worlds. Huawei’s Xinghe AI Full-Scope Security Campus solution addresses these needs by protecting asset security, connectivity, spatial environments, and privacy.”

AI-Driven Security Across Campus Networks

Huawei designed the Xinghe AI Full-Scope Security Campus Solution to provide end-to-end protection across multiple layers of campus infrastructure. First, the solution focuses on asset security by automatically identifying devices connected to the network, including so-called “dumb terminals” that typically lack strong security controls. Using cluster identification technology, the system can detect such devices with up to 95% accuracy. In addition, behavioral anomaly detection combined with local inference on network switches allows the system to recognize suspicious device activity within seconds and block potential intrusions before they spread.

Next, the solution enhances connection security by integrating advanced wireless protection technologies. For example, Huawei’s Wi-Fi Shield technology helps prevent data interception at the physical layer. Furthermore, the platform combines end-to-end MACsec encryption with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to ensure long-term data protection, even as quantum computing capabilities continue to advance.

Expanding Security Beyond the Network

Beyond device and connection protection, Huawei also introduced new capabilities focused on spatial security. With the Xinghe system, a single wireless access point can evaluate the security status of physical spaces within a campus environment. This allows organizations to detect unauthorized activities in real time, improving situational awareness across offices, campuses, and other managed spaces.

Additionally, Huawei addressed growing concerns around privacy protection. Its iGuard access point can detect illegal video recording devices, including hidden cameras, helping protect sensitive environments such as executive offices, meeting rooms, and hotel spaces from surveillance threats.

Next-Generation Wireless and Switching Technologies

Alongside the security platform, Huawei showcased several new campus networking products. The AirEngine Pre Wi-Fi 8 access point introduces Intelligent Coordinated Scheduling and Spatial Reuse (iCSSR) technology, which reduces co-channel interference and significantly improves overall network performance. Moreover, Smart Beamforming technology tracks user movement within milliseconds, ensuring stable connectivity even in highly mobile environments.

Another innovation is the Advanced Same Frequency Network (ASFN) capability, which virtualizes multiple access points into a single “super access point.” As a result, users experience seamless connectivity across the network with zero roaming interruptions.

Huawei also introduced CloudEngine Twins switches, designed to increase network reliability. These dual-redundant switches use a multi-switch fabric architecture that enables sub-second failover and non-disruptive system upgrades. Consequently, organizations can maintain uninterrupted service delivery while ensuring high network performance.

Strengthening the Future of AI-Driven Campuses

With the introduction of the Xinghe AI Full-Scope Security Campus Solution and next-generation wireless technologies, Huawei is positioning itself to support the growing demand for intelligent, secure campus networks. As enterprises increasingly integrate AI, IoT devices, and smart infrastructure into their environments, comprehensive security solutions like Xinghe are expected to play a critical role in protecting both digital systems and physical spaces.
