Huawei’s OptiX solution simplifies optical network architecture

Chinese electronics major Huawei has launched the Industry OptiX Solution for customers and partners in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, including the release of a new series of Huawei OptiXstar optical terminals. 

As digital services expand, traditional network infrastructure is no longer able to meet the growing demand, with complex architecture and an inability to tackle increasing security threats or satisfy the need for frequent upgrades. Optical networks bring reliability, efficiency, and simplicity, indicating that optical is the correct choice for industrial digital transformation.

The Huawei Industry OptiX Solution, however, offers simplified network architecture that supports a range of diverse applications, from cameras to remote control terminals, Passenger Information System (PIS), and more.

Based on optical technologies, the solution provides an efficient operations solution for all industries, featuring high bandwidth, low latency, long distance coverage and highly efficient Operations and Maintenance (O&M).

The Huawei Industry OptiX Solution employs patented Type-C dual-homing technology for mission critical scenarios such as the precision control of terminals for grid distribution or on assembly lines in factories. A 50ms switchover occurs when the network undergoes network failure caused by a disaster or power cut. As such, the solution guarantees an uninterrupted service experience, establishing End-to-End (E2E) system redundancy.

 “Optical networks will play an important role in enabling industrial digital transformation,” said Jason He, Vice-President of the Huawei APAC Enterprise Business Group (EBG). 

“The Huawei Industry OptiX Solution is a big step toward connecting the industrial world over optical networks in diverse scenarios, including metro stations, highways, power grids, airports, and harbours. We have already seen huge commercial applications and look forward to more.”
