According to the company, the 100 gigabit ethernet (GE) technology provides a high-speed ethernet interface and works with 40G and 100G WDM technologies to provide transport solution for operators that can support large-capacity data services.
The company is introducing 100GE Ethernet technologies and 100G WDM technologies to meet the demand for ultra-broadband services in future. Huawei’s 100GE prototype realizes the even distribution of the rate to 10 physical channels to implement the 100GE port technology. In addition, this prototype supports monitoring and protection functions and provides the 100GE port with enhanced reliability. Currently, the company is into the development of the 100GE standard 802.3ba.
Christian Chua, president of transport network product line at Huawei, said: With these Huawei has become the only supplier in the industry that can provide the end-to-end transport services for large-capacity OTN/WDM data services. We will continue to focus on our customers’ needs, to innovate, and to strive to alleviate the bandwidth pressure caused by ultra-broadband services.
In July 2008, Huawei announced the development of its 100G wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) prototype. With a transmission distance of up to 2,000km without using electrical regenerators, its 100G WDM prototype supports upgrades from 10G/40G technologies. This development is expected to promote the commercial use of 100G WDM based solutions. 100G WDM lays the foundation for telecom operators to deploy ultra-broadband services such as HDTV and multi-play in the future.
