Founded in 1987, Huawei is a leading global provider of information and communications

partners to promote optical networks in various 
industries, and accelerate the shift from fiber to the 
home (FTTH) to fiber to everything. Fiber networks are 
ideal for building green, energy-efficient, and ultrafast 
networks because of their high bandwidth, low latency, 
reduced power consumption, resistance to interference, 
and size.
With a focus on four primary scenarios – all-optical 
transport, all-optical access, all-optical data centers, 
and all-optical campuses – Huawei provides all 
industries with all-optical services and solutions that 
offer deterministic experiences.
■ 
Optical transport
–
  Huawei has worked with global carriers to 
deploy more than 80 premium OTN private 
networks.
–
  We have released the Premium Private Line 2.0 
solution that enables carriers to provide quality 
services for governments as well as finance and 
OTT enterprises.
–
  We have launched the industry’s first tunable 
ultra-high-speed optical module with up to 88 
Tbit/s per-fiber capacity.
–
  We have released the industry’s first Liquid 
OTN solution, which reduces latency by 30% 
and provides 100 times more bandwidth than 
the older-generation hard pipe technology. The 
Liquid OTN solution also delivers enhanced 
security and flexibility to support power grids, 
transportation, and other industries.
–
  We have shipped more than 1,000 units of 
products powered by OXC globally.
■ 
Optical access
–
  Huawei has released its intelligent distributed 
access network solution that integrates 
intelligent modules into all network elements 
on the cloud, edge, and devices. The solution 
can accurately identify and ensure excellent 
user experience for online learning, HD video, 
teleworking, and OTT video applications. With 
this solution, the accuracy rate of poor-QoE 
identification is over 95%, and downloads are 
82% faster on average.
–
  Huawei’s leading AirPON solution allows 
carriers to use their existing wireless sites, thus 
making network construction more efficient, 
reducing CAPEX by 27%, cutting network 
construction costs by 30%, and shortening the 
time to market (TTM) by 70%.
■ 
Optical terminals
–
  Huawei’s OptiXstar portfolio now includes 
OptiXstar T863E, the industry’s first industrial-
grade intelligent optical terminal that opens 
the door for Huawei’s all-optical campus 
solutions to support industries; OptiXstar S892E, 
the industry’s first 40G POL optical terminal; 
and OptiXstar B850, the industry’s first 10G 
PON gateway-type optical network unit for 
government and enterprise users that supports 
one-hop access to the cloud.
–
  We have launched the FTTR all-optical gigabit 
room solution.
–
  Embedded intelligent capabilities in our 
products deliver stable and ultrafast Wi-Fi 6 
networks for many scenarios including online 
education, online entertainment, and smart 
home.
–
  We have launched OptiXstar P813E, the 
industry’s first 10G optical network unit (ONU) 
for all-optical campuses to drive the adoption 
of optical connections in enterprise campuses.
–
  We have also released the Campus OptiX 
solution, which simplifies campus network 
architecture, reduces equipment footprint, 
and decreases network energy consumption 
to enable green, energy-efficient campus 
networks. As of December 2020, our Campus 
OptiX solution had helped more than 1,800 
key industry customers across more than 50

Huawei Investment & Holding Co., Ltd.
countries and regions deploy high-quality 
campus networks efficiently. Current customers 
include Fudan University, the Universities of 
Canada in Egypt, Emaar Properties in the UAE, 
and Taj Hotels in India.
Data Communications
The technologies used in data communications 
networks are distinctly different from one generation 
to the next. This industry has seen this as the 
technology evolved from IPv4 of the Internet IP era, to 
the multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) of the all-IP 
era, and now IPv6+ of the intelligent IP era.
In cooperation with industry partners and standards 
organizations, Huawei has proactively pushed the 
IPv6+ industry forward and contributed more than 70 
standards documents. We have upgraded every part of 
our intelligent IP network solutions, and evolved our 
AirEngine, CloudEngine, NetEngine, and HiSecEngine 
data communications products to promote ADN and 
deliver more scenario-based solutions.
■ 
Campus networks
–
  As a major contributor to Wi-Fi 6 standards, 
Huawei has worked with Wi-Fi industry alliances 
to develop network construction standards for 
offices, retail stores, education, healthcare, and 
manufacturing industries.
–
  We have launched the CloudCampus 2.0 
solution, which brings IoT and cloud into 
campus networks. This solution is based on 
our AirEngine Wi-Fi 6, CloudEngine S series 
campus switches, and NetEngine AR, all of 
which are building blocks for fully-wireless 
intelligent campus networks. Our CloudCampus 
solution was named a “Customers’ Choice” by 
Gartner Peer Insights for wired and wireless 
LAN infrastructure. We also received the “Best 
Enterprise Wi-Fi Network Award” at the Wireless 
Broadband Alliance (WBA) Wi-Fi Industry 
Awards 2020. This award recognizes the digital 
transformation benefits that our AirEngine 
Wi-Fi 6 solution provides for factories. The 
CloudCampus solution is well received among 
customers from various industries worldwide. 
It has enabled SAIC Motor’s Ningde Factory to 
achieve fine-grained production management, 
transparent manufacturing processes, and 
intelligent decision-making and control. The 
solution has also helped Quicktron boost 
the efficiency of its logistics by 40% through 
unmanned warehousing. Other customers 
of the solutions include the University Town 
of Shenzhen, Argentine professional sports 
club River Plate, and Slovak energy company 
Energotel.
