Telecom network supplier Huawei said it completed a field trial for a Software-defined Networking (SDN)-based IP and Optical Synergy with Telefonica Peru.
Huawei has carried out over 40 joint innovation projects with global operators. Following Huawei’s proof-of-concept lab test one year ago with Telefonica, the Telefonica Peru field trial network will progress onto a real traffic pilot phase and finally, commercial deployment.
Telefonica and Huawei have conducted all test cases related to the network automatic provisioning, multi-layer service provisioning, multi-layer network restoration, path diversity and shared risk link group avoidance, said Huawei.
Telefonica partners with Huawei and other telecom vendors to setup test beds for multi-vendor inter-operation testing in Telefonica T+D lab. Telefonica and Huawei continue to engage in promoting SDN-based IP and Optical Synergy solution standardization and commercial deployment.
The field trial network — set up using mesh topology, in Lima, the capital of Peru – has contained OSN8800 as ROADM, OSN9800 as packet-aware OTN switches, NE40E as service routers and NE5000E as core routers to form a fully Internet Protocol/Multiprotocol Label Switching/Optical Transport Network/ Reconfigurable Optical Add Drop Multiplexer (IP/MPLS/OTN/ROADM) multilayer network.
Huawei said the controller and orchestrator — based on Huawei’s Smart Network Controller (SNC) and NetMatrix.
