Barcelona, Spain — At MWC Barcelona 2026, Huawei introduced the latest Xinghe AI Fabric 2.0 solution, as well as the industry’s first liquid-cooled fixed switch, 51.2T (128 × 400GE), CloudEngine XH9230-128DQ-LC. According to Arthur Wang, President, Data Center Network Domain, Huawei Data Communication Product Line, data centre networks have evolved rapidly from virtualization and cloud computing to a new AI-driven era. The latest Xinghe AI Fabric 2.0 is designed with a three-layer network architecture comprising AI Brain, AI Connectivity, and AI Network Elements, and is equipped with four core capabilities: - Rock-Solid Architecture 2.0 delivering three levels of high reliability via the AI Eagle-Eye Engine - StarryWing Digital Map 2.0 providing three levels of automation with NetMaster support - Xinghuan AI Turbo 2.0 offering Network Packet Load Balancing (NPLB) and Network Stream Load Balancing (NSLB) - iFlashboot 2.0 enabling ultra-fast reboot in five seconds These innovations help enterprises build AI-based data centre networks that are always on and capable of meeting all computing needs. Huawei also launched the industry’s first 51.2T liquid-cooled fixed switch, CloudEngine XH9230-128DQ-LC. This product uses a 100% liquid cooling system for optical modules, with heat dissipation efficiency twice the industrial average. The switch supports up to eight devices per cabinet, thereby doubling cabinet utilisation. In addition, Huawei introduced a full series of 800GE/400GE StarryLink optical modules, offering double the reliability of industry standards and improved long-haul transmission. In the data centre networking display area, Huawei showcased its complete portfolio of 800GE products, including the modular CloudEngine XH16800 series switches with 768 × 800GE ports, fixed CloudEngine XH9330 with 128 × 800GE ports, fixed CloudEngine XH9320 with 64 × 800GE ports, and the entire StarryLink 800GE optical modules. Other flagship products included CloudEngine XH9230-128DQ-LC, the high-density 51.2T liquid-cooled switch. Moving forward, Huawei will continue its commitment to open collaboration and deepen data centre networking technology innovations to support the evolution of digital intelligence, working with customers and global partners to drive joint innovation and create greater value across industries.
