Huawei Launches New Metropolitan OTN to Enable Operators to Handle Future Bandwidth Demands Tweet

Huawei, a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, launched the OSN8800 T16, a next-generation metropolitan OTN system, at the 2010 WDM & Next Generation Optical Networking event in Monaco. This new transport system accommodates bandwidth-heavy services such as data, video, and storage, and significantly reduces operator costs with easy maintenance, energy-efficiency, and space-saving features.

Poised to enable operators to handle future bandwidth demands, the OSN8800 T16 achieves 40G/100G transport and offers full-service cross-connection capabilities that support ODUk wavelength and packet cross-connections, offering more flexibility and efficiency in wavelength utilization. By utilizing OTN cross-connections, which reach 640G and easily upgrade to 1.6T, OSN8800 T16 provides easy maintenance and fast service provisioning similar to SDH. Additionally, the OSN8800 T16 is designed with industry-leading photonics integrated device (PID) technology, achieving 120G capacity per card and dramatically reducing power consumption and space requirements.

Christian Chua, President of Transport Network Product Line, Huawei, said, "Operators worldwide are focusing on how to achieve fast service rollouts for metropolitan transport, while coping with the impact of high traffic on their live networks. As part of Huawei' s All-IP convergence strategy, our OSN8800 T16 addresses these challenges with its advanced features and promises long-term customer benefits with its future-proof designs."

According to 2009Q4 Market Share ON Global published by consulting firm Ovum-RHK. Huawei ranked number one in the WDM/OTN market in 2009. Huawei remains committed to providing operators with premium end-to-end transport solutions in WDM/OTN, MSTP/PTN, microwave, and submarine series products.
