Barcelona, Spain \u2014 At MWC Barcelona 2026, Huawei outlined a vision to\nbuild an AI-centric all-optical target network in the \u2018Green All-Optical\nNetwork Forum\u2019 hosted by IDATE. Huawei proposed four initiatives to\nenhance network capabilities in terms of bandwidth, reliability, reach,\nand latency so that operators can maximise the value added by the\nnetwork while delivering the best possible experience for AI-based\nservices.<\/p>\n
More than 200 industry leaders and experts from European telecom\nregulators, the FTTH Council, telecom operators, and telecom equipment\nmanufacturers gathered at the event to discuss opportunities and\nchallenges of optical networks in the AI era. Global operators such as\nBouygues Telecom and China Unicom also shared success experiences,\nincluding the development of smart home services, efficient computing\nfor AI innovation, and improved intelligent network operations.<\/p>\n
Kim Jin, Vice President of Huawei Optical Business Product Line,\noutlined the vision for AI-centric all-optical network development, as\nwell as Huawei\u2019s next-generation Optical Network products and solutions.\nBy increasing bandwidth, reliability, reach, and latency, Huawei helps\noperators to build Agentic UBB networks and deliver a premium service\nexperience:<\/p>\n
Wider Wi\u2011Fi coverage for home networks, delivering a better user\nexperience: Huawei\u2019s tri-band Wi\u2011Fi 7 FTTR solution provides stable\nspeeds up to 4 Gbps in every room, and smooth roaming throughout the\nhome in under 10 ms. The latest AI-interference-resistant mesh Wi\u2011Fi\nsolution supports signals penetrating one additional wall and increases\nspeed by up to 20% in congested conditions.<\/p><\/li>\n
New generation PON with lower latency and higher bandwidth:\nInnovative technologies such as PON slicing at the OLT application level\nand Wi\u2011Fi air interface scheduling support the creation of dedicated\nservice paths for VIP applications, delivering a more stable and\nguaranteed network experience.<\/p><\/li>\n
Integrated metro OXC network to enhance AI experience: The latest\nOXC solutions extend all-optical switching to the metro network,\nreducing overall network latency and building a mesh architecture that\nsupports ultra-low-latency compute access for AI services.<\/p><\/li>\n
Evolution towards 400G\/800G to address bandwidth constraints: A\n3D-mesh backbone architecture combined with newer 400G\/800G\ntechnologies, Super C+L frequency bands, and multi-format submarine\ncable transmissions help overcome bandwidth limitations in high-traffic\nareas and efficiently support DCI traffic and cross-border\ntraffic.<\/p><\/li>\n
An all-disto unmoved optical network ensuring AI services are\nalways active: Integrated upgrades to hardware, software, algorithms,\nand eOTDR technologies help operators identify and address network risks\nprecisely. Innovative liquid crystal materials also facilitate switching\nin WSON optical networks within 50 ms, providing extremely high\nreliability.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In operations and maintenance (O&M) activities, FANSpirit agents\nin the optical access domain help reduce home broadband customer\ncomplaints. Meanwhile, OTNSpirit agents in the optical transmission\ndomain recommend different network paths based on bandwidth, latency,\nand reliability requirements, supporting smarter O&M for\noperators.<\/p>\n
Kim Jin said, \u201cThe AI era offers new opportunities for operators that\nmay only appear once in a decade. Huawei is committed to working with\nindustry partners to build an AI-centric all-optical network. In doing\nso, user experience will continue to improve, network value can be\nmaximised, and mutually beneficial growth can be achieved in the AI\nera.\u201d<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/huawei-proposes-development-of-an-ai-centric-all-optical-target-network-to-improve-service-experience-1772607649", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
