, and AI-assisted production are constantly emerging. The picture of the future smart world 2030 is constantly improving, and these require the support of a new generation of network infrastructure.
From a global perspective, the industry is actively promoting the development of new infrastructure.
Recently, Indonesia held the IPv6 Industry Summit 2023, which brought together government supervision, operators, industry organizations and other industry forces to promote IPv6 innovation, accelerate the construction of next-generation network infrastructure, and move towards the intelligent digital vision 2030&2045.
Qiu Yuefeng, Vice President of Huawei's Data Communications Product Line, delivered a keynote speech titled "Next Generation IP Bearer Network, Building a Digital Network Infrastructure Base."
data communication
He pointed out that massive Gigabit and 10G digital applications drive high-speed and high-quality network infrastructure upgrades. Through innovative capabilities such as 400GE, SRv6, network slicing, and digital maps, we will build a Net5.5G IP bearer network to meet the needs of massive ubiquitous ultra-broadband connections for mobile broadband, home broadband, enterprise dedicated lines, and enterprise campuses, and support the development of the digital economy.
400GE, SRv6, and network digital maps have begun commercial deployment around the world. Especially 400GE has been deployed in more than 20 operator networks. Indonesia's leading operator also shared the application and practice of the first Net5.5G in the Asia-Pacific region.
As the connection base for mobile, home broadband, and enterprises, how will the IP bearer network continue to evolve toward Net5.5G? The author learned relevant information from the speeches at this summit.
█Experience
upgrade and digital transformation drive the construction of Net5.5G IP transport network
Ultra-high-definition video applications for individuals and families are rapidly gaining popularity, and immersive XR and AR applications are also gradually maturing.
On the one hand, consumers demand a better broadband experience, which will bring revenue growth to operators. On the other hand, this will also bring explosive growth in mobile broadband and home broadband traffic.
According to statistical reports from three parties, the average global video application traffic has grown by more than 20% in the past two years, and the ultra-wide 400GE capability of the transport network will become a basic requirement for evolution.
Digital government is an important part of the advancement of digital transformation, requiring the improvement of business processes, the digitization of e-government affairs and services, strengthening the connection between regional agencies and the central government, and ensuring business security and data sharing.
With the development of digital government and the increasing adoption of multi-cloud connections for corporate offices and production, this will bring growth in B2B business to operators, while also placing higher demands on flexible network connections and differentiated SLA guarantees. Require.
In order to meet these new demands and challenges, a Net5.5G IP transport network needs to be built to meet the characteristics of 400GE ultra-broadband transport, elastic and flexible connections, differentiated experience guarantees, and network digital maps to support digital transformation.
█Indonesia
’s leading operator XL Axiata completed Asia-Pacific’s first Net5.5G practice and exploration to improve user experience
XL Axiata, Indonesia's leading operator, is developing three major strategies, namely network convergence, digitization and automation. They believe that the development of network infrastructure is very important for achieving digital transformation.
From this IPv6 summit, we learned that Indonesia’s XL Axiata has started the practice and exploration of Net5.5G technology. It is the first IP bearer network to deploy 400GE, SRv6, and network digital maps, creating an ultra-broadband and high-quality digital economic base.
With the popularization of FTTH, the increase of 4G users and the pilot of 5G packages, users have higher and higher requirements for experience. The deployment of 400GE can cope with the rapid growth of traffic.
Indonesia has many islands, and inter-island network link resources are very important. However, frequent fiber disconnections lead to traffic congestion and uneven utilization of network link resources. Traditional manual optimization and operation and maintenance methods are difficult. Through network digital maps and SRv6 automatic optimization and adjustment, congested paths can be solved in a timely manner without manual intervention and network utilization can be maximized.
At the same time, based on network digital map visualization, it is easier to evaluate the traffic bandwidth and link delay of the existing network. Combined with agile service provisioning capabilities and network slicing experience guarantee technology, more B2B business expansion will be carried out in the future to increase revenue.
█Build
a 400GE IP bearer network to stimulate new growth for operators
The 400GE IP transport network can meet the requirements of 5G mobile transport, Gigabit home broadband and agile enterprise dedicated line business transport, and can also be upgraded for the future 5.5G mobile broadband, 10G home broadband, enterprise dedicated line, enterprise campus and other four types of 10G connection upgrades , 5-10 years of continuous smooth evolution to protect investment.
Traditionally, multiple services have built independent networks. As traffic surges, huge investments will be made in expanding the capacity of multiple networks, and network convergence has become an inevitable trend.
After business integration, capabilities such as SRv6 and network slicing are introduced to provide different levels of services on one network, ensuring SLAs for various services and improving user satisfaction. At the same time, real-time network digital maps are superimposed to improve network operation efficiency and achieve multi-layer visualization and fully automatic optimization.
Recently, the third-party analyst organization OMDIA updated the white paper "Datacom Network Trends for 2030" based on its release in 2022. WBBA also released the white paper "Roadmarks for Next-Generation Basic Networks from 2023 to 2030", describing the Net5.5 Application scenarios and key technology development.
At the UBBF 2023 Ultra-Broadband Forum
in
October this year
,
Huawei
also announced that it would release a full series of Net5.5G solutions and products in 2024.
From the perspective of industry development from 2022 to 2023, the Net5.5G industry is on the right track in terms of scenario exploration, live network applications, product and solution support, etc.
The active development and actions of the industry will produce more innovative applications based on Net5.5G.
We look forward to all parties in the industry continuing to work together to accelerate standard technology, application innovation, commercial solutions and product exploration, stimulate new growth for operators, and leapfrog digital productivity.
