Operators have inherent network advantages in connectivity and can bring unlimited interconnection value to the world if their connectivity capabilities are fully unleashed.
Simon Lin, senior vice-president of Huawei and president of Huawei Asia-Pacific, said this Friday at the two-day Ultra-Broadband Forum 2022 which began in Bangkok Thursday.
Huawei is cooperating with operators to help the International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector formulate standards and jointly define the network carbon intensity energy indicator system, he added.
Simon also set out a roadmap for how operators can unleash the full value of connections in home and enterprise scenarios and how green networks can underpin the green development of various industries.
The upgrade of home networks and the emergence of new services such as live streaming at home pose new requirements on gigabit broadband.
Coupled with gigabit broadband, new services can provide users with diversified experiences, create new home network business models for operators, and enable connection monetisation, the senior vice-president of Huawei said.
“Fast and large-scale deployment of optical fibres lays the foundation for operators to build a positive business cycle. Deploying optical fibres on a large scale can effectively reduce the cost per line and enable operators to launch gigabit services with higher average revenue per user (ARPU),” he added.
Good network and service experiences can ensure operators’ solution sales at a premium rate, Simon said.
“Operators can combine gigabit home networks with new services, such as providing scenario-specific broadband services, binding Internet services, and binding smart home device services. In this way, each new service can increase the ARPU of broadband services,” he added.
Currently, operators have just begun to put into practice and expand new services based on optical fibre home networks.
Also, a connection entry is built for the digital transformation of enterprises to monetise their private lines and networks.
The digital transformation of traditional industries calls for connectivity upgrades. A variety of industries have different requirements for connectivity, driving operators to provide diverse enterprise network connectivity solutions.
Currently, more and more enterprise services are migrating to the cloud, allowing operators to expand their business space.
Simon said: “Enterprise private lines are a high-value market for operators and can be used for covering campus networks and enterprise data centre networks. The private line bandwidth is upgraded from Gbps to 10 Gbps to offer high-quality connections in and out of campuses and data centres.”
“Enterprises’ digital transformation requires diverse network connection services. Operators can provide scenario-specific private lines to increase revenues. For example, they can provide ultra-high-bandwidth private lines for the media industry, and millisecond-level low-latency private lines as well as security cloud services for securities companies.”
“As many enterprise branches need to access multiple clouds, N x N private lines are required,” Simon said. “Operators can use multi-cloud backbone and network slicing technologies to upgrade private lines to private networks, providing deterministic network assurance for enterprises,” Simon said,
All-optical, simplified, and intelligent green networks enable the green development of various industries, the senior vice-president of Huawei also said.
