HPE Talks Up AI Network Infrastructure, From Cloud To Edge
RCR Wireless, Monday, March 30th, 2026
HPE reinforced the telco shift at MWC: the urgent mid-gen upgrade of fiber interconnect and longhaul networks for the AI era, plus the edge inference agenda just coming on-stream - as served by its PTX and MX portfolios, respectively, as supported by its modular hardware, custom ASICs, and AI management software.
Optimized AI infrastructure - new PTX series routers, powered by custom ASIC, offer up to 500 Tbps switching capacity and low packet loss for DCI workloads.
Edge and enterprise reach - latest MX series routers, including compact MX301, provide high-throughput routing for enterprise WANs and metro-edge AI inference.
Agentic-AI management - integrated Aruba Central and Mist platforms enable AI-driven automation, maintenance, and scaling across cloud and edge deployments.
