Transport Network

Huawei is devoted to the strategic partnership with the global telecom operators, bringing the valuable solution in network programming, technology innovation, customized solution delivery and business development.

Unified dispatching of the IP and optical layers  
The independent development of the IP and optical layers in the backbone network increases backbone router capacity, complexity, power consumption, and costs. Conversely, unified intelligent control plane technology can integrate the two layers to realize unified dispatching, thus reducing the burden on backbone routers and lowering service carrying costs.
Four challenges in backbone network  
Backbone network development is facing major challenges such as QoS guarantee, increasing pressure on core routers, flexible transport of large-granularity services, and environmental protection. Meet and beat these challenges, operators can modernize and streamline their operations.
IP backbone calls for unified NMS  
The IP backbone is the core network node and requires carrier-class network maintenance. How to enhance its operation and maintenance efficiency amid increasing bandwidth demands?
Will the Internet crash  
The recent spike in network traffic due to video and web applications, like streaming media, video chat, online games, P2P downloads, even podcasting, has stressed existing network capacity. Will the Internet backbone become a sluggish bottleneck? Could it collapse under the volume of traffic?
40G paving the way for the future  
The increasing prevalence of 3G services imposes huge bandwidth burdens on backbone networks. Video services, in particular, have shifted to the mainstream, and consume up to 100 times the bandwidth of traditional services. The number of global 3G service subscribers currently exceeds 0.7 billion and it is predicted that the number of global IPTV users will reach 50 million by 2011. In face of these pressures, sustainability in telecommunications has arrived in the shape of 40G.
Router evolution  
Operators used to establish and develop networks separately in a dispersed chimney mode. The "chimney" style was expensive. Implementation, operation, network maintenance and adding new services were difficult. IP technology flattens the architecture and enables integration of various telecom networks into IP networks with all kinds of services carried on the IP/MPLS network
Tbit/s - hero of the backbone  
Traditional WDM devices can no longer effectively handle transport, grooming, and management of large-bandwidth IP services. A new generation of Tbit/s WDM devices are coming on to bolster the IP backbone.
