China All Optical Tender

At the 2019 World Conference on Ultra HD Video 4K8K Industry Huawei released its all-optical network architecture for ultra-high definition UHD video services. This architecture will help build a simplified network with gigabit access E2E optical hard pipe and intelligent OM. It aims to enable a premium UHD video service experience and promote prosperity in the UHD video industry.The global video industry has entered a new era of development which will bring about revolutionary innovations in visual experiences. Video services have evolved from standard definition to high definition to 4K8K to VR and even holographic videos. UHD video will become a mainstream service in the future and the entire UHD industry ecosystem is booming. In China 4K content exceeds 10000 hours the penetration rate of 4K TVs has exceeded 70 and the number of mainstream platform applications for global VR exceeds 6000. However there are still huge challenges brought by UHD video services in the network industry. 4K live broadcasts and comfortable VR require bandwidth greater than 200 Mbps and an E2E delay of less than 20 ms with zero packet loss. This is more demanding than any previous home network service.Kevin Huang Chief Marketing Officer of Huawei Transmission Access Product Line said The entire industry chain needs to work together to accelerate technological innovation and promote the prosperity of the UHD industry. As a world-leading ICT infrastructure provider Huawei has developed the Optical Networking 2.0 ON2.0 strategy to build all-optical networks that fully support innovative ultra-HD video services aiming to promote the prosperity of the whole industry. Specifically the strategy involves the following three aspectsRealize gigabit access networks by leveraging 10G PON and home Wi-Fi innovations. Using Huaweis end-to-end 10G PON solution operators can ensure gigabit high-speed access for every home user. In addition algorithm optimization and dual-band steering can reduce Wi-Fi interference between neighboring channels and improve home Wi-Fi access quality. Currently Huaweis 10G PON OLT can support 16000 online 4K home users at the same time. Huaweis innovative 10G PON ONT supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz dual-band Wi-Fi with an access latency less than 7 ms.Construct dynamic hard pipes to ensure the E2E bearer quality for different video services. Based on 10G PON OLT hard slice isolation dynamic OTN channel construction cloud-and-network synergy and on-demand bearer a complete video service bearer channel can be built to carry live broadcast services interactive services and common video services separately in multiple paths. By cooperating with China Mobile Guangdong Huawei has developed the OTN 4K premium live broadcast solution with zero packet loss network delay of less than 10 ms and a delay jitter of less than 5 ms enabling a premium E2E experience for 4K live broadcast services.Introduce a full-lifecycle automatic management platform to implement intelligent OM for video services. Based on artificial intelligence big data and cloud technology innovation a smart brain can be built for all-optical networks to implement automatic network lifecycle management and ensure that video services can be visualized managed and predicted for optimal experience. Based on Huaweis Network Cloud Engine NCE operators can visualize the quality of video services in real time and improve network OM efficiency by 30.As a conclusion to his speech Kevin Huang said The prosperity of the UHD video industry depends on cooperation across the entire industry chain. Huawei will stick to win-win cooperation with all partners to open up a blue ocean market worth a trillion dollars in the UHD video industry.Currently Huawei has participated in many global UHD video industry organizations such as CUVA BBF and WFA and launched the Ultra-HD Video Industry Action Plan together with industry partners. The VR OpenLab industry cooperation plan pioneered by Huawei has also attracted 63 partners to jointly promote the Cloud VR industry.
