The statement is true. AI-based energy-saving systems analyze historical traffic and usage patterns to predict periods of low network demand. Ordinary AP radios or access devices can then enter an energy-saving state when their capacity is not required, while surrounding devices maintain sufficient coverage and service availability.

IoT APs, however, may host continuously operating IoT cards, sensors, electronic shelf-label services, Bluetooth location functions, RFID services, healthcare devices, or asset-tracking terminals. Placing such an AP into an energy-saving or hibernation state could interrupt more than ordinary Wi-Fi connectivity. It could also disable an IoT module’s power supply, management channel, data backhaul, or persistent sensing function. Huawei’s Wi-Fi and IoT convergence architecture uses APs as shared locations, power sources, and communication channels for IoT services.

Huawei also applies intelligent technologies to analyze AP load trends and perform predictive network optimization. The safer default is therefore to exclude IoT APs from automatic energy-saving actions unless the administrator confirms that their attached IoT services tolerate interruption. Accordingly, the answer is True.
