At present, more than 170 countries have released strategies for a promoting digital economy, and the digital economy has become the direction of global future development. As an important part of the new digital infrastructure, all-optical access network is an important force for digital transformation, and will run "acceleration" for the high-quality development of digital economy.

During Mobile World Congress 2024, FiberHome demonstrated a new-generation all-optical access network based on next-generation PON and Wi-Fi 7 technologies. By promoting the continuous evolution from 10G PON to 50G PON and from Wi-Fi6 to Wi-Fi7 technologies, we are building all-optical connectivity for the era of 10 Gigabit intelligence, and improving the quality and foundation for the digital transformation of thousands of industries.

3 Drivers  Connecting Everywhere

As the number of global Internet users and the demand for network connectivity continues to rise, fiber-optic broadband networks based on PON technology are gradually becoming the preferred access technology for most of operators around the world. Fiber optical broadband networks are continuously evolving and upgrading around the three drivers of experience, connectivity and green, and will build ubiquitous all-optical connectivity.

I. Experience-driven. In recent years, online office, cloud computing, short video, live broadcasting, etc. are widely used in the world, which puts forward higher requirements for network performances such as bandwidth, latency and reliability, and high-quality all-optical access network becomes the key to improve the experience.

II. Connection-driven. The current telecommunications technology and Internet technology has been fully integrated. Optical access networks continue to extend into various fields, gradually expanding from human-to-human connectivity to human-to-object and object-to-object connectivity, making connectivity ubiquitous. 

Ⅲ. Green-driven. Green& low-carbon have become a global consensus. Optical access network is large in scale and widely deployed, and it is conducive to promoting the construction of green and low-carbon communication network by reducing the comprehensive energy consumption of the network through low-power product design, intelligent energy-saving technologies and high-performance chips.

Technology Evolution Builds a Firm Optical Network Base

Digital economy is an important force driving the economic development of all countries. As an important player in the ICT industry, FiberHome actively carries out research on new technologies such as next-generation PON and Wi-Fi 7 to build a future-oriented all-optical access network.

Relying on the deep technical accumulation in the field of optical network, FiberHome's 50G PON technology stays at the leading level in the industry and completes the industry's first 50G Combo PON existing network pilot. FiberHome's new-generation 50G PON OLT platform supports tri-mode coexistence of GPON, 10G PON, and 50G PON, and is compatible with the original service cards, which can satisfy the differentiated needs of different users, realize smooth service evolution, and protect operators' existing investments. At present, FiberHome has completed the existing network pilot of home, office and industrial scenarios together with many operators around the world, accelerating the commercialization process of 50G PON.

Under the background of continuously increasing global FTTH coverage, in order to match operators' Wi-Fi upgrade needs, FiberHome has launched a new generation of gateway and router products based on Wi-Fi 7 technology, which have achieved significant improvement in network rate, latency and anti-interference. The lowest latency of the products can be 5ms, and the transmission rate is up to 7 times higher than that of Wi-Fi6 under the same interference situation.

Scenarios Upgrade  Prosperous Digital Economy

As an important part of the new infrastructure, optical access network penetrates into thousands of industries from home scenarios. FiberHome has continuously enriched and expanded the application scenarios of Gigabit optical network, and created a new generation of all-optical access solutions for households, small and medium-sized enterprises, and large campuses.

In order to meet the needs of emerging home applications such as ultra-high-definition video and cloud gaming, FiberHome has launched the FTTR solution which provides full Wi-Fi coverage, ultra-gigabit network and seamless roaming to comprehensively enhance the home network experience. Currently, FiberHome FTTR has piloted and commercialized in many places around the world, helping to open up a new intelligent life.

As the technology becomes more mature and the deployment scale gradually expands, FTTR starts to extend from home to government and enterprise scenarios. By creating EasyFTTO, a high-performance, high-reliable, easy-to-deploy and cost-saving FTTR-B solution, FiberHome comprehensively covers various SME scenarios such as corporate office, catering and entertainment, community hospitals, education and training, and hotels and lodgings, building a solid network base for SMEs' digital upgrading.

Facing the trend of gradual cloudization of large-scale campus services, FiberHome POL builds an ultra-wide, green, secure and reliable campus network with a two-layer minimalist network architecture. With new technologies such as 50G PON and Wi-Fi7, it realizes 10 Gigabit access to campus and supports different scenarios such as hospitals, campuses, and industries in current and future digitalization needs.

Digitalization is a global trend, FiberHome will lead the construction of new infrastructure with new-generation all-optical access network, promote the arrival of the new era of 10 Gigabit Intelligence, help the development of the digital economy in the world, and connect the wonderful digital life.
