At MWC 2026, Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced a significant expansion of its service provider portfolio, its broadest set of announcements following its acquisition last year of Juniper Networks.

The announcements focus on three primary pillars: ultra-high-density routing for AI backbones, modular compute for the telecommunications edge, and an integrated cloud operations stack. HPE is positioning these releases to address the “bursty” and high-bandwidth nature of AI training and inference workloads that are increasingly distributed across regional data centers.
