Huawei hosted the “Huawei China Partner Conference 2025” in Shenzhen under the theme of “Collaboration for Synergy, Collective Intelligence for Achievement” from March 20 to 21, 2025. Global industry leaders, corporate representatives, and education experts gathered together to discuss technological innovations and ecosystem collaboration opportunities in the artificial intelligence era. During the conference, Chen Hao, Director of the Big Data Center at Hubei University, presented a report titled “Hubei University: Building the First Ultra-10-Gigabit All-Optical Campus in the Sector of Education”, with the practice of F5G campus network deployment, and jointly released the F5G-A 10-gigabit all-optical campus solution with Huawei.


Hubei University established its Big Data Center to coordinate Smart Campus 2.0 in March 2024, aiming to implement campus digitalization projects within two years: a unified wired and wireless network, centralized cloud computing and storage, a consolidated faculty-student data platform, a one-stop service management, and a comprehensive cybersecurity framework. Among them, a unified wired and wireless network serves as the first project of Smart Campus 2.0. Hubei University became the first higher education institution in Hubei Province to adopt F5G+WiFi7 technology for constructing a wired and wireless converged all-optical campus network, following extensive research and feasibility discussions.

This project, which officially commenced on August 1, 2024,  has undergone six months of implementation and finally enabled both Wuchang and Yangluo campuses to fully access the all-optical network in early 2025.

This next-generation campus network has established a high-speed, integrated, energy-efficient, and smart information highway, laying a solid foundation for the university’s digital transformation. Looking ahead, Hubei University plans to deepen the integration of F5G technology with educational practices, promote innovative applications of artificial intelligence and big data, and explore application scenarios such as integrated sensing-communication systems. These initiatives will comprehensively empower student learning, faculty instruction, institutional management, educational innovation, and academic collaboration, ultimately making Hubei University a world-class university with world-class disciplines and realizing high-quality development.
