On August 18, at the "All-Optical Quality Transport Capacity" sub-forum of the 2023 China Computing Power Conference, Ma Jun, a technology expert from FiberHome Communications, gave a keynote speech entitled "Smart Optical Network, Providing High-Quality All-Optical Transport Capacity" and shared FiberHome’s understanding of the evolution of all-optical quality transport capacity and the important role and application of smart optical networks in promoting network development will create higher-quality optical connections for the development of the digital economy.

With the rapid development of digital technology, the digital economy has become an important source of national wealth. Driven by the goals of "Synergy Network of East and West", "5G+industrial Internet" and "dual carbon policy", the development of optical networks is giving birth to new opportunities. At the same time, the high-quality development of the new era of digital economy poses new demands and challenges to optical networks. The new era is calling for a new "digital high-speed rail." Ma Jun, a communications technology expert from FiberHome, said in his speech that optical network, as the root technology of digital connections, is the foundation for building the future digital era. The smart optical network builds a 10G access base based on Gigabit + 50GPON, builds the information flow artery with 400G + OXC, and uses digital twin and intelligent sensing technology to enable the network to be "lite, intelligent, green, hybrid, turbo, and safe", empowering new business growth via high-quality connections.

All-optical 10G access base enables high-quality computing

In recent years, driven by new digital home needs, optical fiber technology represented by FTTR has developed rapidly. FiberHome's FTTR solution introduces light into every room in the home, providing every home with a true Gigabit experience that is faster, more beautiful and more cost-effective. On the access side, by realizing the three-mode integration of GPON, XG(S)PON, and 50 GPON and increasing the bandwidth, we build a 10G optical access base, provide all-optical quality, and enable all-optical homes, industries, and government enterprises with new development opportunities.

400G+OXC “new high-speed rail” enables ultra-broadband agile joint computing

The high-quality development of " Synergy Network of East and West " is promoting the evolution of high-speed optical transmission technology, and the 400G all-optical backbone network is a key basic technology for building inter-computing intelligent connectivity and is also the solution to achieve the optimal single-bit transmission cost. Ma Jun mentioned that FiberHome Communications is committed to promoting the construction of all-optical quality transport networks represented by 400G technology. This year, under the promotion and guidance of the government and major operators, FiberHome has actively united the industry chain to continuously overcome technical difficulties and achieve great results. It aims to build a new era of digital "high-speed rail" with innovative technology and continue to contribute to the national "Synergy of east & west" strategy.

Data Twins and perception, optical network breaks through the circle to create synesthesia integrated all-optical network

As the scale of network construction expands, the complexity and maintenance difficulty of the network will also increase. Ma Jun proposed that with development, the capabilities of optical networks should evolve from ultra-wide pipes that simply carry information flow to intelligent organisms with autonomous perception and intelligence capabilities. In 2019, FiberHome Communications took the lead in proposing the concept of "smart optical network" in the industry, and has been committed to introducing advanced intelligent technology into optical networks for many years. The FiONE smart optical network system, based on artificial intelligence and digital twin technology, improves the quality of the entire life cycle of the optical network's "planning, construction, maintenance and optimization" through four major solution modules: "Planner, Twin, Monitor, and Optimize". At the end of the network, FiberHome proposes business perception solutions based on low-cost sensing technology for dumb resource management, optical fiber scattering + feature algorithm optical fiber sensing, and iOAM and quality difference analysis, which solves the problem of dumb resource management difficulties, lag in channel perception, and poor service quality. Eventually, building a synesthesia integrated smart optical network to enable high-quality operations.

The new digital era is accelerating, and optical networks will continue to play an important role in promoting the new future. Ma Jun concluded that FiberHome is committed to building smart optical networks and providing high-quality transport capacity. In the future, FiberHome will continue to build high-quality all-optical transport bases through innovation in technology, networks and applications, improve solutions to create intelligent and comprehensive digital information infrastructure, and use digital connections to collaboratively promote the high-quality development of the digital economy.
