Bob Chen, President of Huawei Optical Business Product Line, announced several optical products at Mobile World Congress (MWC 2024).
At Huawei’s product and solution launch event, Bob Chen introduced the industry’s first DC-oriented OTN product, the OptiX OSN 9800 K36. OptiXaccess MA5800T, a pioneering intelligent OLT product. And the innovative He FTTR + X product is the iFTTR OptiXstar F50. These optical solutions are designed to drive the development of ultra-broadband backbone networks, 10G access, and all-optical smart home scenarios, and herald the commercial use of F5.5G.
With ETSI releasing the F5G Advanced Generation Definition in November 2023, Huawei has been at the forefront of F5.5G innovation and implementation. Huawei has been working with major carriers around the world to lead the deployment of key F5.5G technologies such as Wi-Fi 7, 50G PON, 400G, 800G backbone networks, and OXC.
Bob Chen highlighted the critical role of 10G connectivity in advancing intelligent applications, citing the proliferation of 10Giga City efforts around the world. To support further F5.5G development, Bob Chen said it is essential for carriers to build F5.5G all-optical target networks featuring “1+3+4” core functions. emphasized.
1 Network target: 10Gbps Ultra Broadband
Three network features: 10Gbps ubiquitous access, reduced metro network latency to 1ms, and backbone network with 99.9999 percent availability.
Four network architectures: backbone network deploying 400G and 800G OTN, metro network utilizing 100G to CO, access network utilizing 50G PON to homes and businesses, and room connectivity supporting 10Gbps.
To realize this vision, Huawei introduced three innovative all-optical products tailored to meet the demands of F5.5G network construction.
Ultra-broadband backbone: The industry’s first DC-oriented OTN product, the OptiX OSN 9800 K36 boasts unparalleled features such as single wavelength 1.6Tbps transmission, an innovative dual 3D orthogonal architecture, and a built-in intelligent fault analysis unit to deliver superior Guarantee network performance. And availability.
10G Access: The industry’s first intelligent OLT product, OptiXaccess MA5800T offers up to 2T expansion capacity per slot, compatibility with existing GPON and 10G PON, E2E deterministic latency and jitter for premium services, and 10G Enables a seamless transition to ultra-broadband.
All-optical smart home: The industry’s first FTTR+X product, the iFTTR OptiXstar F50 features C-WAN architecture with Wi-Fi 7, precise clock synchronization to minimize roaming handover times, and built-in Storage and computing units increase functionality and user convenience.
Bob Chen concluded by affirming Huawei’s commitment to accelerate the commercial deployment of F5.5G and usher in a new era of fixed network innovation. With these breakthrough products, Huawei aims to help carriers build robust F5.5G all-optical target networks, expand service boundaries, and propel the world toward an intelligent future. That’s what I’m aiming for.
