42 Huawei Investment & Holding Co., Ltd.
● Continued to optimize our WTTx broadband
access solution, helping solve last-mile
broadband access challenges. Currently,
there are over 100 million WTTx subscribers
worldwide. Huawei has deployed WTTx on
over 200 networks in more than 120 countries
and regions, giving more than 55 million users
access to stable, high-speed broadband services.● Stepped up efforts to incubate more IoT
applications through our commercial NB-IoT
solutions, enabling numerous industries
with pervasive IoT connections. Huawei’s
NB-IoT solutions have witnessed commercial
success in a wide range of areas such as
water management, gas management, and
firefighting. Our solutions helped drive the
NB-IoT industry towards the milestone of over
100 million connections worldwide.● Actively fulfilled our corporate social
responsibilities to help more people benefit
from wireless broadband connections. We
partnered with organizations such as UNESCO,
GSMA, Safaricom, and Belgian non-profit group
Close the Gap to run the DigiTruck program.
This program teaches digital skills to teachers,
women, and children in rural Kenya through
mobile, digital classrooms, ensuring equal
access to high-quality education opportunities.Transport and access networks: Huawei
released its Intelligent OptiX Network strategy
in 2019. Guided by this strategy, we worked
with upstream and downstream partners to
redefine the optical network industry, and build
ubiquitous optical connections to deliver a
premium experience for customers.
■ To drive a boom in the global optical industry,
Huawei followed the lead of the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI)and pushed for the establishment of the Fifth
Generation Fixed Network (F5G) specification
group within the ETSI, together with upstream
and downstream industries. This group would
define unified global standards for F5G. Under the
guidance of the Next Generation Optical Transport
Network Forum (NGOF), Huawei worked with
stakeholders from across the industry to drive
innovation and solution incubation for premium
private lines, define five-star criteria for premium
private lines, and accelerate transformation from
optical networks to optical service bearer networks.
Together with partners, Huawei also launched
the Optical Network Alliance (ONA) to drive the
development of industry standards for all-optical
campus networks and the industry ecosystem.■ Over the next five years, optical connections will
extend from each home to each room, and from
each office to each desktop and device. All data
centers will be covered by optical networks. This
is set to grow the number of fixed connections
hundreds of times over and double the size of the
global optical market. Focusing on four scenarios- all-optical transport, all-optical access, all-optical
data centers, and all-optical campuses – Huawei
released a series of innovative products under the
OptiXtrans, OptiXaccess, and OptiXstar names (the
“Three OptiXs”) to lead the development of the
global optical industry.
■ OptiXtrans: Huawei launched the world’s only
commercial optical cross-connect (OXC) product
series. This product series uses all-optical
backplanes which eliminate the need for manual
fiber connections, occupies 90% less space,
and consumes 60% less power. OXC represents
the direction in which Optical Networking 2.0
innovation should be heading. Huawei also
launched the industry’s first intelligent Data Center
Interconnect (DCI) product, which can promote the
future development of ultra-broadband, simplified,
and intelligent DCI networks.
