BARCELONA, Spain, March 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At MWC Barcelona 2025, Huawei held the IP Club Carnival under the theme of "Xinghe Intelligent Network, Amplify Industrial Intelligence." At this event, Huawei unveiled its fully-upgraded Xinghe Intelligent Network offerings, reaffirming its commitment to helping global enterprise customers accelerate their digital and intelligent transformation.
As artificial intelligence (AI) technology advances rapidly, networks — as the cornerstone for information transmission — are undergoing unprecedented changes. Network infrastructures urgently need to be upgraded to underpin massive data processing, real-time response, intelligent applications, and security protection in the AI era. Beyond this, new requirements are driving networks to evolve towards a higher level of intelligence.
In the opening speech, Vincent Liu, President of Huawei's Global Enterprise Network Marketing & Solution Sales Dept, said, "Intelligent technology represented by AI is driving the rapid growth of the digital economy. Against this backdrop, all industries need to introduce AI at scale to create a high-quality, high-capacity, high-efficiency, and high-security network experience."
"As AI enables all industries, high-quality networks become key infrastructures," said Sword Cheng, Vice President of Huawei's Data Communication Product Line, in a keynote speech. "Against this backdrop, Huawei has fully upgraded its Xinghe Intelligent Network offerings, helping customers build AI-powered high-quality networks to unleash digital productivity."
These fully-upgraded offerings are purpose-built for campus network, data center network (DCN), wide area network (WAN), and security domains. Key announcements include the industry's most secure Wi-Fi 7 products, all-new high-density converged routers, the industry's highest-density data center switches, all-new unified endpoint security systems, and the industry's first network AI agent NetMaster. These tailor-made products are a great fit for all industries to build a solid technical foundation for accelerated intelligent transformation.
Huawei's four major Xinghe Intelligent Network solutions are also fully upgrade with stand-out features as follows:
- Xinghe Intelligent Campus: wireless experience upgrade (10+ Gbps throughout, 1 Gbps access anywhere), application experience upgrade (always-smooth video conferences, always-optimal VIP services), O&M experience upgrade (a one person managing a campus with 10,000+ users), and security experience upgrade (easy terminal access, E2E wired and wireless security, and zero leakage of key data).
- Xinghe Intelligent Fabric: steady deployment for zero network errors, stable reliability for zero service interruptions, smart O&M for fault auto-handling, and robust security for zero data leakage.
- Xinghe Intelligent WAN: focus on three core priorities — convergence, intelligence, and deterministic latency— achieving self-awareness, self-adjustment, and self-optimization of services.
- Xinghe Intelligent Unified SASE: AI-powered operations for automatic handling of 99% alarms, AI-powered edge for efficient detection of 95% unknown threats, and AI-powered endpoints for detection of 100% ransomware virus and 100-hops of source tracing.
Also at this event, industry pioneers shared their success stories of leveraging Huawei's Xinghe Intelligent Network offerings to accelerate digital and intelligent transformation. For example, Professor Jack Singh, Chief Scientist & Chief Advisor for Digital Economy, Sarawak Government in Malaysia, highlighted their best digital government practices, especially government campus network and WAN deployments in the digital economy. Armenio Lobato, IT Director of Group Globo in Brazil, talked about how they built a high-quality content delivery network (CDN) with Huawei's Xinghe Intelligent Ultra-Resilient Data Center Network Solution. Pedro del Mazo, Sales Director of Deutsche Telekom Global Business Iberia, detailed how to collaborate with Huawei to build ultra-resilient data center networks and high-quality 10 Gbps campus networks for customers.
Looking ahead, Huawei will continue to innovate and explore intelligent technologies, deeply integrate AI with network infrastructures, and work with all stakeholders to amplify industrial intelligence, ultimately creating greater business value for customers.

ICANN Releases 2026 Guidebook, Other Resources to Support Organizations Planning to Apply for New Domain Extensions in April 2026
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Internet is constantly evolving – transforming and changing as users innovate new technologies and platforms for connection, learning, and opportunity. Businesses and other entities will have a rare chance to be part of the next phase of that evolution when the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) begins accepting applications for new domain extensions next year. That means that companies and organizations can apply to have custom domain extensions – otherwise known as generic top-level domains (gTLDs). A gTLD is the part of an Internet address that comes after the last dot.
Today, ICANN published the official Applicant Guidebook for the New gTLD Program: 2026 Round, expected to open to receive applications on 30 April 2026. The guidebook is the authoritative manual for any entity – brands, communities, cities – that wants to apply for a gTLD. It gives interested parties the application questions, requirements, and processes to lead readers through application submission and evaluation processes.
New gTLDs present a unique opportunity for businesses, communities, regions, and organizations to strengthen their digital presence. A custom domain extension, like .brand or .city, is a powerful tool to enhance visibility, build consumer trust, and foster innovation as part of a digital presence or strategy. The 2026 Round of new gTLDs also will expand the number of Internationalized Domain Names, which will be available in more than two dozen scripts, representing over 300 languages used around the world.
New gTLDs are managed by registry operators, which play a key role in the Internet ecosystem. As the nonprofit responsible for coordinating the Internet's global Domain Name System, ICANN has developed a comprehensive process to assess and approve registry operators.
"It's important that new gTLD applicants be prepared for the assessment of the gTLD string they wish to apply for, as well as all of the applicable evaluations, including financial and operational capabilities," said ICANN President and CEO Kurtis Lindqvist. "The Applicant Guidebook tells them exactly what's required and helps them navigate the process."
The 2026 Round Applicant Guidebook is available in English; an HTML version will be available before the end of January 2026. ICANN will provide translations of the guidebook in Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish no later than two months before the opening of the 2026 Round, as required by community-developed policy recommendations.
New Resources Available to Prepare Applicants
ICANN offers many resources to help prepare potential applicants, including webinars, key topic overviews, Frequently Asked Questions, and other support materials. All are available on the program website.
ICANN will open the application submission period on 30 April 2026 and will continue to publish additional applicant resources in the lead-up to the round opening. For more information on the New gTLD Program: 2026 Round, please visit https://newgtldprogram.icann.org/.
About ICANN
ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a nonprofit public benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.
