The newly released Xinghe AI CloudCampus SaaS service platform focuses on four core capabilities: flexibility, agility, intelligence, and scalability. Together, these capabilities provide South African government agencies and businesses with a centralized, secure, and reliable cloud-managed network infrastructure.
The main highlights of this platform are:
- flexible business model: The platform offers a pure SaaS subscription model that allows customers to get started with zero capital investment, pay-as-you-grow flexibility, and significantly reduce initial investment. Backed by Huawei’s local service team, the platform supports automated regular updates while ensuring data privacy and regulatory compliance, ensuring enterprises are always at the forefront of technology.
- agile deployment: Powered by SD-Branch technology, this platform supports bulk branch network configuration and plug-and-play device deployment. Whether opening a new store, branch office, or temporary site, companies can quickly deploy their networks and improve business responsiveness by more than 80%.
- O&M using AI: Through the built-in AI-assisted O&M CoPilot, the platform automatically identifies and resolves 80% of common network issues, freeing O&M personnel from tedious routine inspections. This reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) by 70% and O&M costs by 50%.
- Future-ready scalability: The platform deeply integrates Wi-Fi, LAN, WAN, and security features across all scenarios, supporting flexible expansion as your company grows from a single site to a global footprint. We also provide end-to-end industry solutions tailored to sectors such as retail and education. These include foot traffic analytics and smart marketing networks for retail stores, and a reliable online education network for educational institutions, truly realizing the vision of “One Platform, All Scenarios, Intelligent Future.”
Looking to the future: AI-powered networks becoming ubiquitous
“Previously, intelligent O&M was a luxury only for large enterprises. Now, we are deeply integrating AI into our cloud management service platform, making it easier for small and medium-sized enterprises to access these capabilities as a cloud service. This is not just about technology inclusion, but about making AI network services truly accessible, affordable, and practical,” said Shi Lei, vice president of NCE Data Communications Domain, Huawei’s data communications product line. “Looking to the future, we will continue to invest in our local operations and work with our South African customers and partners to make intelligent networks a strong foundation for South Africa’s digital economy. Together, we will drive a more inclusive and sustainable digital future.”
