Embrace These Three Optical Trends Alongside F5G-A
Over the next decade, the optical industry is set to commit to a clear strategy: 3-In 3-Out.
In homes and campuses, optical fibers will replace copper cables: Fiber-In Copper-Out. This is key to making new advances.Elsewhere, on the industry production networks of, for example, electric power and transportation enterprises, Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) is evolving toward fine-grain Optical Transport Network (fgOTN). This is referred to as fgOTN-In SDH-Out.
And, in security inspection scenarios such as pipeline and perimeter inspection, manual onsite operations will be replaced by intelligent operations based on optical sensing: Optical-Sensing-In Hard-Work-Out.
The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has already released the Fifth Generation Fixed Network-Advanced (F5G-A) standard, which specifies the technical direction for the evolution of the optical industry. By embracing both 3-In 3-Out and F5G-A, the Huawei Intelligent OptiX Network Solution is designed for diverse industries, extending optical fibers from homes to rooms, from factories to machines, from offices to desktops, and from communication to sensing. This is what is helping to deploy all-optical everywhere, ushering in an intelligent world.
