Huawei Releases F5G-A Product Series and Ten Global All-Optical Network Showcases to Empower All Industries with AI

[Shanghai, China, September 18, 2025] During HUAWEI CONNECT 2025, the Huawei Optical Summit took place under the theme "No Fiber, No AI: All-Optical Networks Power AI for All Industries." At the summit, Huawei shed light on the global progress of all-optical networks in driving digital and intelligent transformation across industries since the launch of the "No Fiber, No AI" initiative. It also unveiled the F5G Advanced (F5G-A) product series and introduced ten global F5G-A all-optical network showcases.

Kim Jin, Huawei's Vice President of Optical Business Product Line, emphasized at the summit that all-optical networks are at the heart of inclusive AI, driving AI adoption for more than 2,000 enterprises globally. In fact, extensive real-world use cases have demonstrated that all-optical networks are the ideal foundation for inclusive AI. Rapidly expanding from data center interconnects (DCIs) to industrial communication networks, campus networks, and sensing terminals, all-optical networks "enhance, drive, boost, and empower computing with fiber"—enabling inclusive AI across diverse industries.

F5G-A innovative solutions upgraded for key scenarios

To reinforce the development of next-generation power systems, Huawei launched an edge computing board and developed an edge computing unit in collaboration with partners. These terminals enable real-time detection and accurate prediction of distributed PV output and transformer district loads, accelerating the evolution of low-voltage distribution networks toward self-sensing, self-decision-making, and self-optimization. This advancement "drives computing with fiber" in power scenarios.

For ISP home broadband scenarios, Huawei launched an AI-interference-resistant Wi-Fi 7 ONT based on its solution philosophy of "One Fiber, One Network, One Smart Home," ushering in the 10G home access era and providing stable, high-speed connectivity to support AI applications. Leveraging AI-based FTTR, Huawei has developed advanced features for ISPs, including 2D-to-3D video conversion that delivers a cinema-grade 3D experience. This technology also supports emerging capabilities such as voice interaction and AI agent deployment. Together, these innovations lay the groundwork for an intelligent home hub in the AI era, enabling early entry into smart home services and "boosting computing with fiber."

In campus scenarios such as education, healthcare, and hospitality, Huawei has enhanced its F5G-A FTTO solution with a series of new products. These include the industry's first commercially deployable symmetric 50G PON ONU, a zero-roaming optical AP, and a Wi-Fi 7 optical AP. The 50G PON ONU reduces pathological section loading time from 2 minutes to under 10 seconds, significantly boosting pathological detection efficiency with AI. Meanwhile, the zero-roaming optical AP virtualizes 48 APs into a single unit to enable co-frequency networking and seamless handover. This ensures stable connectivity during mobile ward rounds and office operations. The Wi-Fi 7 optical AP is the industry's first AP product with integrated communication and sensing. It utilizes Wi-Fi sensing to monitor the status of guest rooms and terminal connections in real time, enabling intelligent functions such as smart lighting for energy saving, prevention against unregistered guest fraud, and protection against privacy breaches.

In oil and gas pipeline inspection scenarios, Huawei's Fiber Sensing for Pipeline Inspection solution is enhanced with the industry's first automatic tracking and detection function for pipeline pigs. By collecting data in real time and applying AI algorithms for analysis, the solution achieves positioning accuracy within 20 meters. This enables customers to rapidly address pigging issues and significantly enhance pigging efficiency, thereby "empowering computing with fiber."

Ten global F5G-A all-optical network showcases: Benchmarks for digital transformation worldwide

During the summit, Huawei officially unveiled ten F5G-A all-optical network showcases, including Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Wuliangye Group, Shenzhen Nanshan People's Hospital, Wuhan City Optical Network, Beijing Subway Line 1, Brazil GIGA+, and South African Railways PRASA. These showcases cover key industries such as government, electric power, transportation, education, healthcare, manufacturing, ISP, and hospitality. Grounded in real-world applications, the "F5G-A all-optical network + AI" solution serves as a reference model for digital transformation across industries worldwide.

In the AI era, Huawei will remain committed to continuously innovating in the optical field. By collaborating with customers and partners, we aim to accelerate the deployment of all-optical networks and make AI accessible to all industries.

HUAWEI CONNECT 2025 runs from September 18 to 20 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center and Shanghai Expo Center. Themed "All Intelligence", HUAWEI CONNECT 2025 will delve into AI across three dimensions: strategy, technology, and ecosystems. You can expect an in-depth look at our latest strategic initiatives, and we'll also be unveiling our all-new digital and intelligent infrastructure products, scenario-specific solutions for industries, and development tools.
