Turkcell and Huawei Complete Türkiye’s First AI WAN Fiber Health Care Test
Turkcell and Huawei have successfully completed Türkiye’s first autonomous fiber health care test of AI WAN in an IP backbone network, enhancing uplink connection security and operational resilience.
Backbone fiber infrastructure is critical for carrying high-capacity traffic and ensuring stable uplink connectivity. Traditional fiber maintenance methods rely on manual measurements, field team dispatch, and instrument-based fault detection.
These processes are time-consuming, costly, and may delay service restoration.
The newly validated AI WAN solution enables real-time, online fiber health care across the IP backbone without requiring instruments or on-site fault detection.
Benefits
- Detects fiber cuts and abnormalities automatically
- Identifies fault locations within minutes
- Increases uplink connections security and resilience
- Slashes time for troubleshooting by service teams
- Lowers fault recovery time and operational costs
- Enables continuous deployment and periodic health checks
A stronger backbone
The system provides automatic fiber cut detection, deployment health checks, periodic monitoring, and visualized fault analysis. By enabling fast diagnosis and precise identification of fiber abnormalities, the AI WAN solution strengthens backbone stability and improves overall network reliability.
As Türkiye’s first test in this field, it represents a significant milestone for backbone intelligence.
"Our IP backbone is the foundation of our network. By introducing autonomous fiber health monitoring, we are strengthening uplink security, improving operational efficiency, and minimizing potential service impacts. This successful test reflects our commitment to building a more intelligent and resilient network infrastructure."
Prof. Dr. V. Çağrı Güngör, Chief Technology Officer at Turkcell
"AI WAN fiber health care and real-time detection in the IP backbone environment represent a significant milestone. This solution helps operators enhance backbone security, reduce operational complexity, and accelerate their journey toward fully autonomous networks."
John Cai, President of Router Domain, Huawei Data Communication Product Line
This achievement reinforces both companies’ focus on next-generation network intelligence and secure, high-performance backbone infrastructure.
