SHANGHAI,Sept. 23,2024 -- During HUAWEI CONNECT 2024,Huawei updated fiber to the office (FTTO) 2.0 and launched a series of new scenario-based products for industries such as education,healthcare,and hospitality. The next-generation green 10G all-optical network oriented to Wi-Fi 7 accelerates fiber-in copper-out and contributes to campus intelligence.
"In the Wi-Fi 7 era,Fiber-in Copper-out is a must for campus networks,and FTTO 2.0 commercial use is accelerating. Huawei is willing to work with customers and partners to seize opportunities in optical business,achieving a win-win future for campus intelligence." noted Gavin Gu,President of Enterprise Optical Business Domain,Huawei.
Huawei's FTTO 2.0 solution achieves a simplified architecture with the number of network layers cut from three to two,active to passive transition,30% lower energy consumption,and 80% less cabling. Based on XGS-PON Pro and Wi-Fi 7 technologies,this solution supports 12.5G/25Gbps to rooms,10Gbps to APs,and 2.5Gbps to desktops. The hard slicing technology enables multiple services to be carried over one network,reducing the TCO by 30%. This helps enterprises build green,ultra-broadband,and simplified campus networks.
Huawei launches FTTO 2.0 scenario-based products
At the session,Huawei released a selection of FTTO 2.0 products for various scenarios and industries.
In the education industry,Huawei launched the industry's first high-density ultra-10G optical terminal Huawei OptiXstar P884E for smart classrooms. Meeting the requirements of high-density and high-bandwidth access scenarios,this product implements 12.5G/25Gbps to classrooms and 2.5Gbps to desktops. For dormitories,Huawei launched the industry's first 8-port Wi-Fi 7 optical AP OptiXstar W617E,which supports unified wired and wireless access for a room with 8 students. For education metro networks,Huawei launched the edge optical gateway Huawei OptiXstar E853E. Supporting remote PON port deployment,closed-loop local service forwarding,and flexible configuration,the Huawei OptiXstar E853E meets the access requirements of all services in campuses such as primary schools and kindergartens.
For hospital wards,Huawei launched the industry's first 10G ceiling-mounted Wi-Fi 7 optical AP Huawei OptiXstar W817C,whose seamless roaming technology enables mobile ward rounds.
For hotels,Huawei launched the next-generation three-in-one Wi-Fi 7 optical AP Huawei OptiXstar W827E-3,which supports unified access of wired,wireless,and telephone services so that one ONT can carry all services in each guest room over one fiber. In this way,it provides ultimate Wi-Fi 7 network experience at a lower cost and improves the positive feedback rate of guests.
For factory workshops,Huawei launched the small-sized industrial optical terminal Huawei OptiXstar T602E,which supports guide rail installation and fiber to the machine without extra cabinets,allowing for flexible capacity expansion. By helping to build a reliable and flexible advanced industrial network for smart factories,the product improves the quality and efficiency of factory production.
Huawei's FTTO solution has been put into commercial use in more than 9000 campuses around the world. In addition,Huawei's 50G POL solution that supports hard slicing has also been put into commercial use.
