Huawei Launches xDSL Cards with Unparalleled Port Density

Breakthrough product significantly decreases OPEX for operators

Huawei, a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, launched two types of copper access cards with unparalleled port density: the 48-port COMBO card and the 64-port VDSL2 card. These products will enhance solutions in public switched telephone network (PSTN) migration and broadband access, and will enable operators to decrease OPEX by reducing room size by 30 to 50 percent.

Mr. You Yiyong, President of Huawei's Access Network Product Line, said, "Dedicated to our customers' demands, Huawei has never stopped innovating in the fixed access arena, including copper access, and strives to help operators maximize the potential of copper wires and provide the best products and solutions to their customers."

Combining ADSL2+, voice, and splitter functions in one card, the 48-port COMBO card significantly reduces the amount of required space in telecommunications rooms, simplifies copper cable routing, and reduces total power consumption. The 48-port COMBO card also assists in integrating traditional time-division multiplexing (TDM) voice systems into future-oriented VoIP systems, while also providing broadband access. Devices equipped with the COMBO cards will not only have a higher degree of integration but will also be up to 70 percent smaller.

In cases when ADSL is unable to provide sufficient bandwidth for fast-growing services (such as high-bandwidth video services), VDSL2 is a viable alternative, as it is able to provide over 50M of bandwidth, while reusing the existing copper wire networks. With an energy-efficient design, the 64-port VDSL2 card can be equipped with either an embedded or an external splitter to accelerate the deployment of VDSL2. With an embedded splitter, the 64-port VDSL2 card can significantly increase the integration of devices, and, as a result, the room space can be saved by at least 50%.

Furthermore, both cards are equipped with the MELT line test function, enabling them to quickly identify line faults, eliminating the need for investment in dedicated test instruments, and thereby reducing OPEX.

To date, Huawei has served one-third of all global broadband users with its SingleFAN solution, providing super broadband access that enriches people's communications and their lives.

Huawei will construct the first commercial LTE network in Southeast Asia

Huawei and Superonline Announce World�s First "Commercial Directionless and Colorless WSON Application"

Huawei, a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, along with Superonline, a Turkcell Group company, today announced the successful implementation of the World's first directionless and colorless WSON (Wavelength Switched Optical Network) application in the Istanbul metro network. As the enhanced version of ASON (Automatically Switched Optical Network), WSON is based on the DWDM transmission network, having optical level switching capabilities.

"The large volume of traffic passing through the Superonline network has been secured with the highest possible protection level, thanks to the directionless and colorless WSON application. We put this application in place together with Huawei in Istanbul � poised to become the world's newest Internet base due to its geostrategic location through the Superonline's infrastructure investments," said Dr. Muhittin SAYIN, Superonline's Chief Technical Officer, who also emphasized the importance of breaking a new ground in the world, not just in Turkey, as an innovative telecom operator.

"Huawei is one of two companies providing solutions for Active Ethernet Access and Gigabit Passive Optical Access Network Technologies reaching Superonline home users," stated Philip Zhihui Liang, General Manager of Huawei Turkey. He went on to say that Superonline would transform the "Silk Road" into the "Fiber Optic Road." As a part of this ambition, Huawei has ensured the security of the Istanbul metro section of this Fiber Optic Road by using state-of-the-art technology. "This application is a first in the commercial world," Liang said.

Huawei Superonline Account Manager Emre Altinok stated, "After completing the deployment of a major part of the Superonline backbone and metropolitan area transmission network, we started building up more intelligence on it. Having the first WSON enabled network in Turkey and commercially in the world, there is no doubt that Superonline raised the bar in terms of service quality and network reliability.

Designed and implemented by Superonline and Huawei through intensive engineering works, the Istanbul Metro WSON application-.is the first successful commercial project of its kind with respect to realization via upgrade over a live network that carries commercial services and its advanced optical switching technology (independent of direction and wavelength). In essence, WSON technology enables the uninterrupted flow of traffic to be transferred to alternative lines in case of multiple system failures and/or intersystem fiber cuts, which may occur in DWDM networks. This is due to the smart signalization established by WSON between the applied network's systems.
