Huawei 100G networks reach 100 customers

Huawei recently said its 100G networks are serving 100 customers across the globe.

Its 100G network covers 160,000 kilometers.

According to Huawei, 100G networks provide ten times the capacity of currently mainstream 10G networks, as well as up to 8 Tb/s ultra-large capacities per fiber, which is equivalent to simultaneously transmitting 1 million channels of HD video services.

Huawei has leveraged innovation resources in the optical communications industry to make the leap from 10G to 100G.

Thanks to 100G SD FEC and 100G OTN technologies, Huawei significantly enhanced the transmission performance and efficiency of 100G systems, enabling the commercial maturity of 100G.

Over the past two years, Huawei has deployed 100G networks for 100 customers worldwide.

In June 2011, Huawei built a pan-European 100G WDM backbone network for KPN International, the Netherlands, unfolding the global momentum of long-haul 100G deployments.

In 2012, Huawei rolled out the world’s longest 100G network (25,000 kilometers across Asia and Europe) for Rostelecom Russia, as well as the world’s first G.653 fiber based 100G network for TIM Brazil, a prelude to a wave of 100G deployments in Latin America.

Huawei also deployed Africa’s first 100G WDM network for Unitel Angola in the same year.

The 100G market in China kicked off with Huawei’s deployment of a 100G WDM network for the China Education and Research Network (CERNET), and is taking off with Huawei and China Mobile’s combined initiative to deploy the world’s largest 100G OTN backbone network.
