Beijing, (ANTARA\/PRNewswire) - At the Upperside World Congress 2026,\nHuawei hosted the \u201cIP Gala Summit\u201d themed \u201cNext-Generation WAN, Boosting\nNew Growth for Carriers\u201d. During the event, Huawei launched an official\nreport on Next-Generation (NG) WAN, jointly with WBBA, IPv6 Forum, and a\nnumber of leading telecom operators in attendance. The report provides\nan overview of IP networks targeted for 2030. In this way, operators can\nbuild networks that are comprehensively secure, ensure user experience,\nand drive revenue growth and operational efficiency. Global operators,\nindustry leaders, and standards organisations discussed various topics\nsuch as multi-dimensional awareness, network security and resilience,\nand network autonomy, to accelerate the development of IP networks\ntowards the Net5.5G era.<\/p>\n
National Strategies and Industry Development: Accelerating the\nUpgrade of AI-Based Network Infrastructure<\/p>\n
Operators are leveraging AI capabilities\u2014supported by IPv6 and SRv6\ntechnologies\u2014to optimise network potential, reduce costs, and enhance\noperational performance. Latif Ladid, President of the IPv6 Forum,\nhighlighted steps taken by various countries in implementing strategies\nfocused on AI sovereign cloud, network security and resilience, and\nquantum security\u2014as a foundation for operators to develop more advanced\nnetwork infrastructure. The IPv6 Forum is also collaborating with global\nindustry partners to promote the integration of cutting-edge\ntechnologies such as IPv6\/SRv6, network autonomy, and AI application\nawareness.<\/p>\n
Official NG WAN Report: Containing Plans for Future IP Network\nDevelopment<\/p>\n
In the era of the Internet of Agents, the integration of intelligent\ntechnologies and networks is driving the evolution of IP networks\ntowards more efficient and intelligent architectures. John Cai,\nPresident of the Router Domain, Data Communication Product Line at\nHuawei, stated in his speech that NG WAN must be built on three main\npillars\u2014multi-dimensional awareness, network security and resilience,\nand network autonomy\u2014so that operators can accelerate network\nmonetisation, cut costs, and improve efficiency. This official NG WAN\nreport contains comprehensive guidance on WAN development towards\nnetworks targeted for 2030, including key features, target architecture,\nvalue scenarios, breakthrough technologies, and network construction\nspecifications\u2014thus providing strategic analysis for global operators in\nnetwork evolution and innovation.<\/p>\n
Operators\u2019 Best Practices: Setting Benchmarks for Network\nEvolution<\/p>\n
Mehmet Durmus, Associate Director of IP\/MPLS Core and Data Center\nNetworks at Turkcell, Turkey, shared experiences on implementing NG WAN.\nAccording to him, new innovations such as 5G\/5G-A and intelligent\ncomputing place significant burdens on conventional networks. To address\nthese challenges, Turkcell adopted cutting-edge solutions like lossless\nRDMA, AI-based dynamic energy saving, and optical fibre network\nmaintenance, thereby achieving significant advancements in intelligent\ncomputing, energy efficiency, and intelligent operations and maintenance\n(O&M). These efforts serve as benchmarks for next-generation IP\nnetworks.<\/p>\n
Huawei NG WAN: Supporting Operators in Building AI-Based Integrated\nWAN<\/p>\n
Xu Huan, Vice President of the Router Domain, Data Communication\nProduct Line at Huawei, explained the foundations, main scenarios, and\nbusiness value of NG WAN. He stated that NG WAN will be centred on AI,\nequipped with an integrated network architecture that covers full\nservices, and integrates networks, computing, and security. The network\nwill be built on an environmentally friendly ultra-broadband foundation\nwith 400GE\/800GE technology, supported by multi-dimensional awareness\nfeatures. This also ensures user experience and premium services,\nincreases ARPU and DOU, and guarantees always-on services through\ncomprehensive security and resilience systems. Additionally, the network\nwill leverage AI agents to enhance network autonomy.<\/p>\n
At the event, technical experts also shared experiences on\ntechnological innovations and service awareness practices, comprehensive\nnetwork security and resilience, and intelligent network management in\nhome broadband scenarios.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, Huawei will continue to strengthen partnerships with\nglobal operators and industry leaders to maximise network potential\nwhile driving sustainable growth for operators.<\/p>\n
