As broadband services bloom, so do customer demands, especially for IPTV and OTT video services; 100G ports are required for the core routers in Internet data centers (IDCs) so cloud-scale storage and data switching capability are enabled. Operators are also expected to provide ultra-broadband channels to facilitate private line services for enterprises.
Zhai Haipeng, Global WDM Solution Sales Director of Huawei, explains the details of Huawei 100G solution. He says that Huawei’s 100G solution features an extended transmission distance, thanks to its soft decision technique, optimized optical platform, and unique RZ modulation. It also can be flexibly adapted to different network environments, reducing the costs of electrical regenerators. Huawei 100G has been applied by operators in Europe, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region, including KPN, TDC, and SFR. Huawei has also tested its 100G solutions with over 30 operators globally, breaking a number of records in the process including those for 3000km-terrestrial and 5500km-submarine 100G fiber transmission.
Operators will enjoy simplified network planning, architecture, and O&M. With features such as ‘optical doctor’, the 100G solution avoids DCM networking, features low latency, and is compatible with different types of fiber; the solution also applies tunable filtering to realize colorless add/drop functionality. In addition, it enhances intelligence and reliability with multi-layer ASON, while supporting 100G OSNR monitoring.
Other features include zero-wait, which means smooth cooperation between 10G, 40G, and 100G services, which protects legacy investments and accommodates small granularity services. Huawei 100G solution supports a variety of services thanks to its high-bandwidth utilization efficiency.
