F5G-A all-optical 10G+high-quality transportation capacity has become an industry consensus, and commercial construction has been comprehensively accelerated

11 Feb.,2025

In November 2023, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) released the F5G-A standard, 50G PON Wi-Fi 7、FTTR+X 、400G、 The rapid maturity of innovative technologies such as all optical crossover and Hybrid ASON marks the official commercialization of F5G-A.

 

 

[Shanghai, China, June 26, 2024] During the 2024 MWC Shanghai event, the F5G-A All Optical 10G Industry Summit with the theme of "All Optical 10G, Quality Capacity, Building an Intelligent World" was successfully held. The China Communications Standardization Association, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom, Chile Entel, UAE e&A, and Huawei jointly explore the development of the F5G-A industry, share innovative practices of F5G-A such as all-optical 10G and high-quality transportation capacity at home and abroad, and accelerate the commercial construction of F5G-A, supporting the accelerated arrival of the intelligent world.

 

Collaborative progress of F5G-A standard technology, leading to three major leaps in fixed networks

 

In November 2023, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) released the F5G-A standard, 50G PON Wi-Fi 7、FTTR+X 、400G、 The rapid maturity of innovative technologies such as all optical crossover and Hybrid ASON marks the official commercialization of F5G-A. Wen Ku, Chairman of the China Communications Standardization Association, said in his opening speech, "We will deepen the construction of high-quality transportation capacity networks, use networks to strengthen computing, accelerate the construction of high-speed, intelligent, and green urban all optical networks, and provide tens of thousands of megabytes of ultra wide connectivity and deterministic experience guarantees for households and small and medium-sized enterprise users to enter the cloud and computing."

 

Li Peng, Senior Vice President of Huawei and President of ICT Sales and Services, pointed out in his speech that the optical industry is facing development opportunities in the era of intelligence. F5G-A helps operators achieve three major leaps: crossing the limit of experience and stimulating intelligent applications with a 10 Gigabit optical network; Crossing connection boundaries and using "connection+X" to support intelligent scenes everywhere; Cross domain spatiotemporal distance, unleashing surging computing power through integrated computing and networking

Promote the rapid evolution of network capabilities towards F5G-A and fully embrace the era of intelligence

 

At the meeting, Chen Banghua, President of Huawei Optical Product Line, emphasized the F5G-A target network and key product solutions, and shared the successful practices of global operators in F5G-A. Chen Banghua pointed out that "in the era of intelligence, operators need to build an F5G-A all optical 10Gbps+high-quality transportation network, supporting ubiquitous 10Gbps access, 1ms ultra-low latency, and 6 9-ultra high reliability, to meet the network needs of intelligent application access for individuals, households, and enterprises, as well as computing power interconnection." From the perspective of architecture, the network can be built around three aspects:


The first is the backbone network of stereoscopic computing, with 400G ultra high speed and 3D Mesh stereoscopic architecture to achieve bandwidth non blocking, and Hybrid ASON to achieve high reliability connections of 6 9s;

The second is to jump into the computing metropolitan area network, creating a 1-millisecond urban latency circle through end-to-end OXC, achieving low latency integrated computing, and continuously reducing computing costs through pooling wavelength division and urban 100G;

The third is the 10G intelligent access network, with 50G PON supporting 10G full scenario access, ensuring a deterministic experience through end-to-end slicing and intelligent diversion.

At present, Huawei, based on its F5G-A all optical 10G+high-quality transportation capacity products and solutions, has carried out commercial innovation practices with global operators and deployed 166 commercial sites. The rapid development of new business has promoted operators to achieve new revenue growth.

Finally, all parties attending the meeting called on the entire industry to cooperate in innovative applications, experience upgrades, and other aspects, build a solid network foundation, continuously enrich the business scenarios of F5G-A, accelerate the commercial process of F5G-A, and win new opportunities in the intelligent era.


The 2024 MWC Shanghai will be held in Shanghai, China from June 26th to June 28th. The Huawei exhibition area is located in the E10 and E50 exhibition areas of Hall N1 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC). 2024 is the first year of commercial use for 5G-A; The F5G-A, marked by the 10G optical network, has set sail; The collaborative development of "Internet, Cloud, and Intelligence" is stimulating richer digital experiences and more ubiquitous intelligent applications. Huawei, together with global operators, industry elites, opinion leaders, and others, is deeply exploring how to move from a prosperous 5G era to a more prosperous 5G-A era, expand new space for operator revenue growth, and accelerate towards an intelligent world.
