Education & Healthcare: Building an Intelligent Future with AI-Powered Networks

At the 2025 Global Education & Healthcare Partners China Convention Summit, Sword Cheng, President, Government and Enterprise Domain, Data Communication Product Line, Huawei, delivered a keynote speech titled "Leading AI-Powered Network Innovation for the Intelligent Future."

He emphasized that AI tech applied in education and healthcare has increased network requirements. The Huawei Data Communication division is deeply integrating AI with networks based on ‘AI for Networks, Networks for AI’. Through the Xinghe Intelligent Network, the healthcare and education industries can transition from traditional interconnection pipelines to intelligent infrastructure, accelerating the application of intelligence in both sectors.

The sharp drop in AI costs and the emergence of advanced large models has kickstarted the large-scale application of AI in education and healthcare.

AI for ALL, ALL on IP

Huawei Xinghe Intelligent Network has restructured network architecture, integrating AI across campus networks, data center networks, and network security based on educational and healthcare services.

Doing so has enabled AI-powered:

• Experience-centric campus networks
• Ultra-efficient data center networks
• End-to-end network security

By empowering networks with AI and supporting the intelligent development of education and healthcare, Huawei is driving forward the future of these industries.

AI-powered experience-centric campus network

All-Scenario Wi-Fi 7: Unique iCSSR high-density networking and CSI intelligent spatial sensing technology integrates communication and sensing to create a campus environment suitable for teaching. Wi-Fi 7 + zero roaming and IoT assists medical staff improve efficiency in healthcare scenarios.

Innovative architecture of Passive Ethernet All-Optical: Dedicated 10G bandwidth to the room via fiber results in a 75% reduction in cabling and 90% reduction in management nodes. High-bandwidth, simplified architecture, high-bandwidth, and easy maintenance creates a robust network foundation for education and healthcare.

Intelligent O&M with One Map and One Brain: Digital maps enable full network visibility and management, with fault location in seconds. The unique network AI agent powered by large models enables one person to maintain a campus of 10,000, turning passive O&M into autonomous driving.

AI-powered ultra-efficient data center network: The unique iLossless algorithm enables zero packet loss in the network, enhancing computational performance by 17%. The unique NSLB algorithm boosts network throughput to 98%, improving AI model training efficiency by 10%.

AI-powered end-to-end network security: AI-enabled integrated defense across cloud, edge, and endpoint enhances the detection rate of unknown threats.

With the comprehensive integration of AI, Huawei Xinghe Intelligent Network is no longer just a connectivity tool. It has evolved into an intelligent entity capable of autonomous decision-making, self-optimization of services, and self-immunization against security threats, serving as the neural hub for digital transformation in education and healthcare.

Currently, Huawei Data Communication has supported over 70,000 educational institutions and more than 10,000 medical institutions worldwide in establishing high-quality networks. Collaborating with over 3,000 partners, Huawei is actively shaping a promising future for smart education and healthcare.
