Huawei Proposes to Build an AI-centric F5.5G All-Optical Network to Help Carriers Achieve New Growth

ISTANBUL, Turkey, Nov. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, at the 10th Ultra-Broadband Forum (UBBF 2024), Bob Chen, President of Huawei Optical Business Product Line, delivered a keynote speech titled Build AI-Centric F5.5G All-Optical Network for New Growth.

The AI era is upon us. General foundation models are continuously enhanced, and are quickly applied to various industries. So far, more than 1300 foundation models have been applied. In addition, AI is widely used in mobile phones, PCs, and automobiles. In the future, AI will be an indispensable part of terminals. AI helps us in travel planning, code generation, and quality inspection. In the future, AI will transform every aspect of our life, work, and production.

Bob Chen noted that in the AI era, some carriers will transform to AI all-service providers, and some carriers will cooperate with third parties to provide services such as AI computing and AI applications. For carriers, building robust infrastructure networks and "enhancing computing with networks" will be the key to business success in the AI era. AI device-cloud synergy, and intelligent computing training require high network bandwidth, low latency, and high reliability. Huawei is continuously innovating F5.5G in optical transmission, optical access, and management and control platform, helping carriers build AI-centric all-optical networks.

In the optical transmission field, Huawei's leading optical switching technology is extended to data centers (DCs) and metro edges. First, with optical switching, DCs support the scale and efficiency improvement of AI computing. Huawei's DC optical switching solution supports the expansion of intelligent computing from 1000 cards to millions of cards based on ultra-dense ports and ultra-low power consumption. Compared with traditional solutions, the optical module-free deployment mode reduces the failure rate by about 20%. In addition, with all-optical switching at metro edges, Huawei helps carriers build 1 ms, 5 ms, and 10 ms latency circles through mesh networking, and all-optical one-hop connection for end-to-end all-optical switching from the backbone to the metro, ensuring ultimate AI experiences. Up to now, more than 50 carriers around the world have extended optical switching to metro edges and built 1 ms metro networks.

In the optical access field, Bob Chen noted that fixed broadband must provide premium services. Based on optical fiber connections, fixed broadband provides deterministic and guaranteed service experiences for every user. Globally, there are three monetization modes for fixed broadband: coverage monetization, bandwidth monetization, and experience monetization.

First, coverage monetization. Currently, no fiber connection is available to more than 28% of global users. Therefore, fiber coverage needs to be accelerated to seize the demographic dividend. Huawei solutions including QuickConnect ODN and all-scenario AirPON can help carriers achieve fast and low-cost network construction.

Second, bandwidth monetization. First, some carriers have deployed fiber broadband, but their package rates are only dozens of Mbps. As a result, the value of optical fibers is not unleashed. Therefore, we recommend that packages be gradually upgraded to provide more competitive broadband services. Second, some carriers have offered gigabit packages, but the experience is poor and video freezing often occurs. The root cause is that GPON is used to provide gigabit packages. Therefore, GPON should be upgraded to 10G PON as soon as possible to provide better network experiences.

The last is to monetize experience. Now, the industry has a consensus on the evolution from FTTH using one fiber to FTTR using one network. FTTR networking can ensure optimal experience for everyone anytime and anywhere. So far, the number of global FTTR users has exceeded 30 million. In addition, Huawei is accelerating the innovation and upgrade of FTTR+X to help carriers innovate AI applications, including AI plus storage, home guard, and healthcare. Our ultimate goal is to support one smart home based on one FTTR network.

As for the management and control platform, Huawei uses digital twin and AI foundation models to improve user experience and O&M efficiency in premium broadband and premium transmission solution scenarios. Huawei's Premium Broadband solution uses automatic fault locating to implement minute-level network fault diagnosis and proactive poor-QoE rectification, slashing user complaints by 30%. Its Premium Transmission solution uses automatic online planning to shorten the new service TTM from months to hours.

"The next decade will witness the fast popularization of AI," Bob Chen stated. "Huawei hopes to work with industry partners to build an AI-centric F5.5G all-optical network, extending optical switching to data centers and metro edges, building premium networks for optical access by monetizing coverage, bandwidth, and experience, and fully injecting AI capabilities to the management and control platform. In this way, we can accelerate AI popularization and achieve new business growth together in the intelligent era!"

Huawei Proposes to Build an AI-centric F5.5G All-Optical Network to Help Carriers Achieve New Growth

FUZHOU, China, Dec. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from Huanqiu.com:

Fenjiu, as a Chinese liquor with thousands of years of brewing techniques and profound cultural heritage, has been actively connecting with the international community, playing the role of a cultural exchange messenger in many Chinese and foreign cultural exchange activities, actively promoting the cultural exchange and mutual appreciation between Chinese liquor culture and many countries in the world, and displaying the unique charm of Chinese liquor.

As the 2024 Belt and Road Commerce Chambers and Associations Conference (GCCAC) is being held in Fuzhou, East China's Fujian Province on December 5, 2024, Shanxi Xinghuacun Fenjiu International Trade Co., Ltd. appeared as the general co-organizer of the event, and resonated with the conference with the internationalized products containing the essence of Fenjiu's living culture.

All-round empowerment of event

During the conference, Li Zhenhuan, vice chairman of Shanxi Xinghuacun Fenjiu Group Co., Ltd. said that in recent years, as a strategic opportunity for Chinese enterprises to seek high-quality development and new growth points, brand going global has gradually become a market consensus. Cultural identity is a prerequisite for consumption, and it is also the key for Chinese liquor enterprises to go overseas. Enhancing brand awareness and reputation in the international market by spreading the culture of Chinese liquor is a key step that the wine industry must take, Li noted.

The 100-square-meter booth brought visitors an in-depth dialogue with Fenjiu culture. The debut of the "Fenjiu cocktail," "Fenjiu Silk Road Limited Edition" and other products attracted many attendees to stop and taste.

Forging cultural ties between China and the world

In recent years, with the core competitiveness of quality and culture, Fenjiu has promoted the brand and culture of Chinese liquor to go global, boosting the internationalization, rejuvenation and fashion of China's liquor.

Fenjiu's internationalization, using wine as a medium, weaves a web of friendship across regional and cultural differences. During the first China International Import Expo, Fenjiu cooperated with Georgia, conveying mutual appreciation of Chinese and foreign wine cultures. This year, at a themed dinner titled "Fenjiu Cuisine for the World to Appreciate" in Barcelona, a Spanish veteran chef brought guests with a taste banquet with Chinese Fenjiu and Spanish delicacies.

Aroma flowing globally

Fenjiu's internationalization journey began in 1992 when it set up an import and export company, starting to corporatize the export and trade of its products and participate in the international spirits competition.

In recent years, Fenjiu's move to go global has also been stepped up to enhance the brand's international influence. In 2021, with the opening of some experience stores in Germany, Singapore and Macao, China, FenJiu opens new windows and platforms for dialogue with the world. In 2023, FenJiu becomes the official wine of the BRICS Conference in South Africa.

On the road ahead, Fenjiu said it would like to continue to be a bearer of the industry, actively acting to tell the Chinese story and deliver the Chinese flavor to the world with its unique quality and deep cultural heritage.
