Power Distribution
Communication Network Solution

Power distribution networks are responsible for delivering electricity to end-users and have a direct impact on the quality of power supply. Compared with the power transmission network, it suffers higher line loss, requires a greater investment scale, and has higher operational costs.

Huawei's power distribution communication network solution provides optical fibers and wireless networking, featuring high security, reliability, cost-effectiveness, and easy O&M. The solution provides a solid communication foundation for intelligent power distribution O&M, convergence of power distribution and marketing services, and the extension of distribution services from the medium-voltage side to low-voltage side.

Benefits

Full coverage of automated power distribution scenarios

• 2 backhaul and 4 networking modes are available, meeting future evolution requirements while protecting original investments.

Flexible routing and reliable networking

• There are 4 networking modes. One or more types of networks can be selected and deployed, depending on local conditions.
• SD-WAN ensures flexible routing and optimal links: Wireless/wired mutual backup and dual-wireless mutual backup.

Simplified architecture and easy O&M

• Network-wide design and 2-layer physical network architecture,
• Service security isolation and E2E encryption.
• Plug and play, visualized management.

Architecture

Select a suitable network construction solution and implement it in a phased manner.

• Use active/standby dual-operator wireless links to quickly deploy networks. Use IPSec to implement security encryption and service isolation.
• Build more reliable optical networks or wireless private networks in key areas and areas lacking carrier network coverage. Gradually expand them to cover the entire network.

A smooth evolution that protects primary investments and reduces the need for repeated investment:

• When constructing wireless private networks, take the 4G to 5G evolution into account.
• CPEs connecting to carriers' public networks should meet future fiber or wireless private network access requirements.

Slash costs and improve efficiency:

• The wireless private network is an effective and economical solution for power distribution communication network construction since it has lower costs compared to optical fiber construction.
• By developing value-added services for power bandwidth operations, we can integrate power distribution network and home broadband services to reduce CAPEX and achieve maximal ROI.
• Pole sites can also be leveraged to share optical fiber resources with ISPs through the leasing of optical fibers or communication services.

EDL of Laos: Digital Reconstruction of Power Distribution and Consumption

Nicknamed as 'the battery of Southeast Asia,' Laos houses over 60% of the hydropower resources along the Mekong. Following local policies, Laos is now exporting electricity to ASEAN countries such as Thailand. Electricite Du Laos (EDL) is affiliated with the country's Ministry of Energy and Mining. It is the exclusive power development and operation organization in Laos, responsible for supplying electricity to users in Laos and Southeast Asia.
