F5.5G 10 Gbps Optical Network and Premium

Transmission Network Make Intelligence Ubiquitous

Looking back on the history of the optical industry, we can
clearly see that service changes are the driving force behind its
innovation and development. The continuous upgrade of optical
technology accelerates service development. Since 2009, with
the rapid popularization of video services, fiber has become
increasingly popular and copper has declined in home networks.
100 Mbps FTTH optical access had become a necessity for home
broadband, driving OTN transmission networks from 10G to
100G. Around 2018, as 4K HD video, short video, and smart home
services grew rapidly, users were willing to pay for better Wi-Fi
and wired networks. This drove the upgrade of home broadband to
Gbps and the fast growth of home networking services. Premium
enterprise private lines made OTN transmission networks more
than just customer bearer networks, but also service networks.

In the intelligent era, the optical industry
is faced with a new challenge to enable
people to utilize intelligence as easily
and freely as electricity. We believe
that an F5.5G all-optical 10 Gbps and
premium transmission capability target
network must be built to do so. The 10
Gbps intelligent access network provides
ubiquitous and ultra-broadband 10 Gbps

bandwidth, enabling users to experience
intelligent services anytime, anywhere. Bob Chen

To date, the number of global gigabit users has exceeded 200 Huawei Optical Business Product Line
million, the number of FTTR users has exceeded 20 million, OTN
transmission networks have been upgraded to 400G on a large
scale, and extending all-optical nodes of OTN transmission
networks to network edges has gradually become the norm
among global operators.
