Huawei wins Best All Rounder Award at the 21st Next Generation Optical Networking Event
At the 21st Next Generation
Optical Networking (NGON) Event, Huawei’s Optical Networking 2.0 (ON2.0)
solution won the Best All Rounder Award. It is another world-class award
following Huawei’s 400G winning the Best Single-Channel Programmable 400G
Product Award at the 20th NGON last year and represents the global recognition
of Huawei’s optical network products and technologies by the optical networking
industry.
NGON is one of the most important
business and technical forums in the global WDM/OTN field. The Best All Rounder
Award winner is selected by representatives of leading operators, authoritative
analysts, and industry media worldwide to honor the strongest technical
innovation in the industry. The award winning ON2.0 solution was released at
Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February 2019. Its core competitiveness
lies in its technological innovation in three directions: New speed, new sites,
and new smart O&M.
New speed: Technological innovation and
continuous bandwidth upgrades are promoted as per Moore’s Law. The Super 200G
technology improves the single-wavelength transmission rate, and Super C Band
technology taps the full potential of optical fiber spectrum, maximizing the
value of optical fibers. Huawei Super 200G uses the latest Huawei proprietary
OptiXtreme series oDSP chips and channel-matched shaping (CMS) algorithm to
achieve a maximum transmission distance of 5000 km. In addition, Huawei
provides the industry’s only pluggable solution that supports a distance of
over 1000 km on the optical layer at 50 GHz, enabling a seamless upgrade from
40G/100G to 200G. Based on proprietary core technologies such as novel lasers
and wide-spectrum amplifiers, Huawei’s Super C Band expands the fiber spectrum
from the traditional 4 THz to 6 THz, improving fiber resource utilization by
50%.
New sites: By simplifying transmission sites and
building end-to-end simplified all-optical networks, the required footprint in
equipment rooms is significantly reduced. MS-OTN implements unified
transmission of multiple services, simplifies CO sites, and achieves one-hop
transmission of services. In addition, the all-optical cross-connect technology
is introduced to construct a three-dimensional backbone network, achieving
all-optical grooming and a zero-internal fiber connection, simplifying O&M,
reducing the required equipment room footprint by 80% and power consumption by
60%.
New smart O&M: By introducing AI modeling, machine
learning, and cloud technologies, a digital twin can be created based on
all-optical network parameters collected and analyzed in real time to transform
O&M from passive to proactive, allowing the construction of the industry’s
first Network Cloud Engine (NCE) that integrates management, control, and
analytics to achieve intelligent and automatic management of services
throughout their lifecycles.
Simon Lu, President of Huawei
Transmission Network Domain, said: “The recognition of Huawei’s innovation
in optical technologies by the entire industry is the result of Huawei’s
long-term investment. Based on the ON 2.0 solution, Huawei will promote the
evolution of optical networks in terms of new speed, new sites, and new smart
O&M, helping operators to offer optical networks as a service and transform
transmission networks from connectivity-centric to experience-centric, enabling
operator business success and jointly building a fully connected, intelligent
world.”
