Huawei recently hosted its first Global Optical Summit (GOS) in Bangkok, unveiling F5G-A products and solutions tailored for the Asia Pacific region to enable industrial intelligence. Over 300 customers and partners attended, where Huawei introduced advancements in optical connectivity, campus networks, and industry-specific solutions.
6 May 2024 – Huawei recently convened its inaugural Global Optical Summit (GOS) – Asia Pacific edition in Bangkok under the theme “F5G-A, the Foundation for Industrial Intelligence.” Over 300 customers and partners from countries like Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, and Malaysia participated in the event. During the summit, Huawei introduced a range of F5G Advanced (F5G-A) products and solutions tailored for the Asia Pacific region, and initiated the OptiX Club member recruitment event globally, aimed at enabling industrial intelligence across Asia Pacific.
In his opening speech, Bob Chen highlighted the significance of optical connectivity and sensing in driving industrial intelligence, outlining three key trends: “Fiber-in Copper-out,” “fgOTN-in SDH-out,” and “Optical-Sensing-in Hard-Work-out.” Gavin Gu, President of Enterprise Optical Business Domain at Huawei, emphasized the importance of these trends and how F5G-A presents a clear technology evolution roadmap for them. He expressed confidence in achieving mutual success through collaboration between customers, partners, and Huawei in the realm of industrial intelligence.
The trend of “Fiber-in Copper-out” is seeing widespread adoption in homes and campuses, with optical fibers replacing copper cables. Huawei introduced the ISP’s all-optical target network for the Fiber to the Room (FTTR) era to meet evolving broadband demands. For campus networks, Huawei launched the next-generation FTTO 2.0 Solution, leveraging XGS-PON Pro and Wi-Fi 7 technologies to upgrade bandwidth, networking, and O&M, enabling a green 10 Gbps all-optical campus. Additionally, Huawei unveiled the industry’s first 50G POL solution for high-performance campus scenarios.
In the electric power and transportation industries, the trend of “fgOTN-in SDH-out” is gaining traction. Huawei introduced the industry’s first all-optical communication network solution supporting fgOTN standards, providing a solid and reliable communication network for these sectors. Lastly, in the trend of “Optical-Sensing-in Hard-work-out,” Huawei showcased an industry-leading multi-dimensional sensing solution, integrating vision, radar, and optical fibers to enable intelligent remote operations, reducing manual onsite workload significantly.
During the summit, Huawei released Installation Process and Construction Guidance for Passive Optical LAN and fgOTN Technical White Paper to empower customers and partners and promote industry standardization. Huawei also announced the initiation of the OptiX Club member recruitment event worldwide, aiming to foster regional industry data intelligence through technical communities.
