Huawei announced it will further upgrade its Optical Networking 2.0 platform first introduced in 2019. At the company's Optical Network Innovation Forum, it announced plans to support 800G, 'smart' O&M and additional premium services for operators.
To date, Huawei has helped global operators build over 120 200G commercial networks. Huawei's 800G optical module supports an adjustable line rate ranging from 200 to 800 Gbps and 20 percent longer transmission distance using a unique Channel Matched Shaping (CMS) algorithm. The Super C-Band system provides up to 120 channels and supports evolution to Super C+L.
The platform also simplifies sites to help reduce TCO. On the electrical layer, Huawei's Liquid OTN reduces per-site latency by 70 percent and supports 100-fold more connections by breaking bandwidth into 2M hard slices. On the optical layer, Huawei's new compact OXC product OSN 9800 P32C is flexible enough to fit various scenarios. It also slashes the physical footprint by 90 percent and power consumption by 60 percent, according to the company, eliminating the need for internal fibre connections. Already around 1,000 previous OXC products from Huawei have been deployed across more than 60 global commercial networks.
The optical autonomous driving network uses Huawei's iMaster NCE for simplified O&M, while the ASON2.0 platform ensures always-on services with 99.999 percent network availability. Huawei's iMaster NCE has so far been deployed in 130 optical networks by operators in Italy, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and South Korea.
Huawei is also working on extending optical networks to the edge to build a stable all-optical metro architecture. The key is extending OTNs to COs and sub-COs to achieve one hop to the cloud, guaranteeing bandwidth, lower latency and higher availability, the company said. The all-optical metro will build a solid foundation for more premium services, Huawei believes.
Additional high-end services are supported by its OTN premium private line solution, which offers differentiated SLA services and features bandwidth on demand, low latency, short time to market, and high availability. In addition, Huawei debuted a premium home broadband OTN to bring enterprise-class experiences to home users.
