Huawei Introduces Four Innovative F5G-A Solutions to Boost Industrial Intelligence
At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025, held in Barcelona, Huawei took a significant step forward in the realm of optical connectivity and detection by presenting four cutting-edge F5G-A solutions. These advancements aim to enhance industrial intelligence and are a testament to Huawei's commitment to continuous innovation in optical technologies.
During the event, Perry Yang, President of Huawei Enterprise Optical Domain, shared insights regarding the emerging trends encapsulated in the phrase “3 In 3 Out.” This concept translates to various applications such as “Fiber-in Copper-out” tailored for home and campus networks, “fgOTN-in SDH-out” for industrial production networks, and “Optical-sensing-in, Hard-work-out” for remote sensing applications. Examples of these applications range from pipeline inspections to perimeter security practices.
The successful adoption of Huawei’s FTTO solutions showcases the company's influence in the field, as over 10,000 campuses now benefit from their service. Furthermore, the fgOTN is witnessing global adoption, while optical detection capabilities have been deployed in more than 90 projects spanning critical sectors that include oil, gas, airports, and railways. This rapid deployment reinforces the role of F5G-A technologies in expediting the transition toward industrial intelligence.
To meet the demands outlined in the 3 In 3 Out strategy, Huawei unveiled distinct solutions for different scenarios. For Internet Service Providers (ISPs), the launch of the Fiber to the Home (FTTH) solution stands out, offering quick and cost-effective network construction. Additionally, multiple Fiber to the Room (FTTR) products were introduced to help ISPs deliver rapid coverage, increased bandwidth, and enhanced user experiences.
In campus scenarios, the Huawei FTTO 2.0 solution implements four major enhancements spanning bandwidth, application scenarios, operations, and planning. Notably, the campus network bandwidth has seen an increase from 10Gbps to a remarkable 50Gbps, with classrooms receiving 50Gbps and Wi-Fi setups being improved to 10Gbps. New optical terminals compliant with the installation standards (M45) in Europe and the Middle East have been released, enabling direct fiber connections at hospital beds without requiring information cabinets, thus preserving the aesthetic of the decor. Additionally, outdoor optical access points have been launched to extend coverage from indoor to outdoor spaces, making them ideal for playgrounds and hotel swimming pools.
In the realm of operations, the previous capability of managing only one campus with a network management system (NMS) has transitioned to managing multiple campuses simultaneously, enhancing the user experience in multi-tenant scenarios. Moreover, planning can shift from manual configurations to automatic settings based on artificial intelligence, cutting down network design time from two days to just one hour.
For scenarios demanding AI computation, Huawei launched the All-Optical Lossless Data Center Interconnect (DCI) solution. This solution employs the OTN OSN 9800 K12 platform, ensuring zero packet loss during RDMA in data centers. Furthermore, a miniaturized perimeter inspection solution has been introduced, featuring affordability and ease of deployment, catering specifically to small campuses like substations and oil and gas stations.
This new perimeter solution leverages converging detection technologies incorporating fiber optics and video detection, alongside advanced AI algorithms to enhance efficiency and reliability.
Looking ahead, Huawei is dedicated to fostering innovation in optical technology, aiming to collaborate with clients and global partners to accelerate the adoption of the “3 In 3 Out” model in connectivity and detection solutions. This strategy seeks to not only promote but also revolutionize industrial intelligence through advanced technologies.
