[Shanghai, China, September 19, 2024] Themed "Accelerate Fiber-in Copper-out, Amplify Campus Intelligence", the all-optical campus forum during HUAWEI CONNECT 2024 brought together more than 300 customers and partners from industries such as education, healthcare, manufacturing, and hospitality around the world. They gathered to delivered keynote speeches on campus networks and shared innovative practices. During the event, 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/25G to rooms, 10G to APs, and 2.5G 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.
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/25G to classrooms and 2.5G 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-10, 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, which was first launched in 2016, has been widely recognized by industry customers and 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.
At the forum, representatives from global education, healthcare, and hospitality industries delivered keynote speeches on FTTO networks and shared innovative practices.
"Traditional networks are vulnerable to interference from complex hospital environments, such as ICUs, operating rooms, and radiology sections," said Wu Wenjun, Director of Network Dept, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. "FTTO for Healthcare features intrinsic media security, stable transmission with a high rate, reliable networking, and physical isolation to ensure high service security. It meets requirements in various service scenarios of Union Proton Therapy Center, National Prevention, Control, and Treatment Base, and Wuhan Union Chongqing Hospital."
Lin Weibo, Director of Information Service Center, Hainan University, pointed out, "FTTO for Education in Guanlan Lake campus of Hainan University fits for building a smart education campus network, and brings brand-new network experiences and efficient management to teachers and students. It will also provide a strong guarantee for Hainan University to cultivate internationalized, comprehensive, and highly-qualified talent."
Looking ahead, Huawei will continue to work with customers and partners to explore campus scenarios and provide customers with premium all-optical campus network solutions and services, driving industrial intelligence.
