Huawei has received the esteemed “Most Innovative Optical Transport Use Case” award at the Network X NGON 2024 event in Paris. This accolade recognises Huawei’s leadership in optical transport innovation, highlighting its ability to provide groundbreaking solutions that create significant value for global carriers.
Leading Optical Transport Innovation
The award celebrates Huawei’s advanced 400G/800G solution, which supports the world’s largest 400G backbone. The solution enables carriers to build data centre (DC)-oriented, cost-efficient backbone networks. This achievement demonstrates Huawei’s commitment to advancing the optical transport field through ultra-high speed, ultra-wide spectrum, all-optical switching (OXC), and advanced algorithmic capabilities.
For 16 consecutive years, Huawei has maintained the largest market share in optical communications. The recognition at NGON 2024 further solidifies Huawei’s position as a global leader in optical transport innovation. At the event, Huawei unveiled its all-optical premium transmission target network architecture designed for the intelligent era. This new architecture enables carriers to meet the demands of today’s data-driven world, offering solutions to enhance network efficiency and reduce operational complexity.
Showcasing Groundbreaking Technologies
During NGON 2024, Huawei demonstrated several cutting-edge technologies that address the needs of modern carriers:
- Ultra-High Speed: Huawei introduced 1.6T coherent modules that support high-capacity data centre interconnection for metro networks. These modules enable carriers to handle large-scale data traffic and ensure seamless, high-speed connectivity across metro areas.
- Ultra-Wide Spectrum: Huawei extended its C+L-band integrated WSS capability to OTU boards, enhancing integration and reducing power consumption. The technology improves the overall efficiency of optical networks while minimising the space required for system components.
- All-Optical Switching: Huawei’s multi-degree optical switching boards are specifically designed for metro access scenarios, making it easier for carriers to deploy optical networks across urban and metropolitan areas. This solution offers flexibility and scalability for future network expansions.
- System Soft Capabilities: Huawei’s Hybrid ASON solution offers optical-electrical synergy for network rerouting, providing carriers with cost-effective protection against fibre cuts. This results in 99.9999% reliability, ensuring network uptime even during unforeseen disruptions.
- Network Intelligence: Huawei introduced several innovations aimed at simplifying optical network management. These include optical network health assurance, intelligent co-cable detection, and intelligent alarm compression. These features enable proactive maintenance and significantly improve network management efficiency, reducing the need for manual interventions.
