The global healthcare industry is fully advancing into a new era of intelligent digital transformation. Mobile ward rounds, remote consultation, high-definition medical image access, and hospital-wide smart IoT have become standard necessities for medical institutions. A 24/7 uninterrupted, highly reliable, and secure professional network foundation has emerged as the core cornerstone for elevating medical service quality and enabling the implementation of smart healthcare applications.
Medical institutions worldwide are currently confronted with prominent industry challenges. Legacy networks are built in silos, resulting in isolated internal, external, and healthcare IoT systems, along with fragmented and inefficient operation and maintenance. Medical staff frequently experience roaming lag and packet loss on wireless networks during mobile work, severely undermining diagnosis and treatment efficiency. Campus expansion, department relocation, and legacy facility renovation often involve long construction cycles and high transformation costs. Network operation and maintenance remain reactive to faults, with delayed risk detection and slow troubleshooting, failing to sustain uninterrupted core medical services. In addition, fragmented medical IoT terminals from diverse vendors suffer from poor compatibility and difficult unified access, restricting refined hospital operational management.
To address the transformation demands and scenario-based pain points of the global healthcare sector, Huawei Xinghe Intelligent Campus Network Solution integrates Wi-Fi 7 zero-roaming technology, high-quality optical Ethernet access, Twins dual-engine switches, SDN unified network control, and intelligent O&M. It enables medical institutions worldwide to build an integrated smart healthcare network that is simplified, stable, secure, and high-performance.

Wi-Fi 7 Zero Roaming: Seamless Connectivity for Full-Scenario Mobile Healthcare
Designed for the high-reliability requirements of mobile medical services, Huawei Wi-Fi 7 Healthcare Zero Roaming Solution adopts self-developed ASFN same-frequency networking technology. It virtualizes all hospital APs into one logical device, enabling seamless terminal roaming across wards, corridors and nurse stations with zero packet loss and zero re-authentication. This fundamentally eliminates common pain points of traditional wireless networks such as roaming disconnection, service lag, and interrupted medical workflows.
Leveraging AirEngine 6776-26HD zero-roaming AP and dedicated AU antenna units, a single AP delivers continuous coverage for up to 8 wards. The solution supports elastic scaling and flexible networking, balancing coverage performance and investment costs. With an ultra-high wireless rate of up to 7.14Gbps, it easily accommodates high-density concurrent access in outpatient halls, instant loading of high-definition medical images, bedside mobile diagnosis, and emergency remote consultation, delivering robust network support for hospital-wide mobile healthcare services.
Equipped with built-in dual PCIe slots and PoE Out expansion ports, Huawei Wi-Fi 7 zero-roaming APs seamlessly connect with multi-vendor healthcare IoT terminals. Focusing on medical staff positioning and medical asset tracking, the native room-level precise positioning capability enables real-time staff distribution monitoring and optimized scheduling. It also supports full-lifecycle tracking, inventory and management of monitoring equipment, emergency devices and high-value medical assets, reducing loss and idle waste while elevating hospital refined operation and integrating wireless networks deeply into smart medical workflows.
Twins Dual-Engine Switch + High-Quality Optical Ethernet: Building a 24/7 Resilient Network Foundation
Supported by high-quality optical Ethernet architecture and Twins dual-engine access switches, Huawei delivers a dedicated high-reliability network foundation tailored for healthcare scenarios. The innovative dual-chip architecture provides hardware-level redundancy and sub-second seamless service switching. Device upgrades and component maintenance proceed without interrupting clinical services, eliminating single-point failure risks and meeting hospitals’ demand for round-the-clock operation.
The fiber-to-the-room all-optical design simplifies cabling complexity and supports smooth bandwidth expansion. It perfectly adapts to new campus construction, legacy hospital renovation and multi-campus interconnection scenarios, effectively lowering upfront deployment expenditure and long-term O&M costs.
SDN Intelligent Control: Simplified Unified O&M with AI Proactive Risk Prediction
Powered by Huawei iMaster NCE-Campus as the intelligent network brain, the solution builds a next-generation SDN virtualized network architecture, overhauling the inefficiency of traditional fragmented network construction and management. With VXLAN virtual isolation technology, it achieves physical and logical dual isolation of hospital internal networks, external networks and IoT networks, safeguarding medical data security and complying with stringent global healthcare data compliance standards.
Centralized network configuration delivers plug-and-play deployment and instant service activation for new devices, shortening project cycles and reducing transformation costs while enabling unified multi-campus collaborative management.
Supported by CampusInsight intelligent O&M, the solution delivers full-dimensional visualization of network device status, link quality and application experience. Leveraging big data and AI algorithms, it proactively identifies potential network risks and locates fault root causes within seconds. It transforms O&M from passive troubleshooting to proactive risk prevention, boosting fault diagnosis efficiency by over 90% and ensuring stable and uninterrupted operation of core hospital services.
From enhancing clinical experience and cutting operational costs, to ensuring network security compliance and enabling innovative smart services, Huawei full-stack healthcare datacom solutions provide end-to-end lifecycle network deployment and O&M services for global medical institutions.
