[Shenzhen, China, October 15, 2026] The leading global research and advisory firm Appledore Research has released Leading Suppliers in OSS Software (hereinafter referred to as “the Report”). With its leading product competitiveness and extensive global deployment track record, Huawei’s ADN solution ranks No. 1 in market share for both overall OSS and Domain Management.
Huawei’s ADN Solution Tops Market Share in Overall OSS and Domain Management in Appledore Research Report
As a leading global research and advisory firm specializing in network automation, Appledore Research released the report, which covers multiple sub-segments including domain management, service assurance, orchestration, and inventory management. Domain management is the largest category among all management software sub-segments. It serves as the core hub for operators to achieve end-to-end network automation and is critical to advancing towards higher-level autonomous networks. Huawei’s top ranking in both overall OSS and domain management software underscores the widespread global recognition of its ADN solution in driving operators’ digital and intelligent transformation.
Huawei’s ADN solution is committed to delivering network intelligence capabilities, with core products spanning single-domain and cross-domain intelligence. Single-domain intelligence products include iMaster MAE, iMaster NCE, iMaster CCAE, and DME, while cross-domain intelligence products include AUTIN, Smartcare, ADO, and others. By introducing intelligence into single domains, it enables multi-scenario collaboration across fault management, energy efficiency, optimization, and experience, achieving optimal O&M efficiency and resource utilization within each domain. By introducing intelligence across domains, Huawei’s products enable collaborative orchestration and unified scheduling across domain networks, creating a closed loop for end-to-end network and service automation. In addition, based on the OpenAN open-source project, the A2A-T protocol is co-defined to reconstruct cross-layer and cross-domain integration models, maximizing the potential of network intelligence.
Looking ahead, Huawei will continue to build network intelligence capabilities to help operators improve network O&M efficiency, reduce network energy consumption, ensure user experience, and enhance network reliability and security, working together with global operator customers and partners to embrace a new era of Agentic AI.
