Huawei OptiXtrans E6600 Series Products Win Optical Transport Award During ECOC 2024

【Frankfurt, Germany，September 30, 2024】Recently, Huawei's OptiXtrans E6600 series products — the industry's first optical transmission product that supports the fgOTN standard — won the Optical Transport Award at European Conference on Optical Communications 2024 (ECOC 2024), a top-level international conference in the optical communications field.

ECOC, the largest optical communications exhibition in Europe, has been holding the industry awards for a number of years. The judging panel consists of global experts from the communications industry. These awards acknowledge the achievements of excellent products in driving the evolution of optical communication networks.

With comprehensive advantages in industry communication network scenarios, Huawei's OptiXtrans E6600 series products (Huawei E6600 for short) stood out from a host of products to win the ECOC's annual optical transport award. As the world's first series of products to support the fine-grain OTN (fgOTN) standard, the E6600 series products support multi-service transmission and the most comprehensive service cross-connections in the industry. With such capabilities, these products can be used to build highly secure, reliable, high-bandwidth, low-latency, flexible, and efficient communication networks for industries such as electric power and transportation, helping to drive intelligent transformation. Currently, the fgOTN service transmission capabilities and performance of Huawei E6600 series products have been verified by China Electric Power Research Institute and State Grid Shandong Electric Power Company, with results fully meeting the requirements of related standards in the electric power industry.

There are more than 2000 SDH industry communication networks around the world. As industrial intelligence keeps advancing, more and more industries are upgrading and reconstructing SDH networks. Taking China's electric power industry as an example, every year, over 8000 sets of SDH devices need to be upgraded. Huawei E6600 series products can help users quickly, efficiently, and smoothly upgrade their networks to meet the high reliability requirements of traditional production services, such as teleprotection and train control. In addition, intelligent services such as video-based inspection and intelligent detection are also supported.

In the future, Huawei will continue to innovate and work with industries, industry organizations, and users to promote the evolution of fgOTN standards and technical application, building a solid all-optical communication foundation for intelligent transformation in various industries.
