Huawei's Richard Jin Proposes "FIBERS" Concept for Industrial Digitalization
BARCELONA, Spain, March 3, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

At the Mobile World Congress 2022 (MWC 2022), Richard Jin, Vice President of 
Huawei and President of the Optical Business Product Line, delivered a keynote 
speech titled "Green Intelligent OptiX Network, Lighting Up the Way to 
Industrial Digitalization". In the speech, Richard proposed the "FIBERS" 
concept for industrial digitalization and released the Green Intelligent OptiX 
Network for enterprises.

"The efficiency and quality of connectivity determine the success of industrial 
digitalization," said Richard Jin. "As such, it is recommended that planning 
and construction be conducted in advance. Huawei's Green Intelligent OptiX 
Network will build the 'FIBERS' network infrastructure, lighting up the way to 
industrial digitalization."

Optical fibers are greener than copper cables. Richard Jin pointed out that 
optical fibers are easy to obtain, have a long lifespan, and do not generate 
any heat loss. With such advantages, optical fiber communication can 
effectively help enterprises reduce power consumption, save energy, and reduce 
carbon emissions, achieving low-carbon and sustainable development.

To enable digital transformation, connections must adhere to the "FIBERS" 
concept, which refers to the new connectivity requirements of various 
industries. Based on technical innovations and industrial digitalization 
practices, Richard Jin uses "FIBERS" to interpret the six key requirements on 
connections: saFe, Intelligent, Ultra-Broadband, Efficient, Reliable, and 
Simple.

-SaFe: In special industry scenarios such as coal mines, connections must 
satisfy performance requirements while ensuring that underground network 
devices and cables are intrinsically safe by eliminating electric sparks. 

-Intelligent: This is now a major trend of connection development. Intelligent 
software can be used to implement cross-device and cross-product collaboration 
for greatly improved overall system performance and service innovation. For 
example, optical networks collaborate with storage systems to achieve zero data 
loss. And with the help of intelligent sensing algorithms, optical fibers can 
be used to implement unattended inspection of oil and gas pipelines. 

-Ultra Broadband: For the application of innovative technologies, such as 
cloud, big data, AR, and VR, ultra-broadband is considered as a basic 
connection requirement. As global data center traffic doubles every two years, 
only ultra-broadband Data Center Interconnect (DCI) systems can meet the 
increasing bandwidth requirements of customers such as banks. 

-Efficient: To enable digital transformation, connectivity must be highly 
efficient. In scenarios such as smart intersection reconstruction and new 
factory network construction, efficiency directly determines deployment 
experience. And in scenarios such as ports where remote machine control is 
implemented, deterministic ultra-low latency connections enable the control 
center to perform real-time operations on remote machinery, improving service 
efficiency. 

-Reliable: Key services must be guaranteed. In industries that are deeply 
intertwined with national interests and people's livelihood, such as electric 
power and transportation, service reliability is closely related to power 
supply and transportation safety. Therefore, connections must ensure the 
end-to-end physical isolation and high reliability of core services. 

-Simple: This is the basis for intelligent O&M. In scenarios such as smart 
campus, the access of countless terminals increases the network scale and 
pressure on O&M. Given this, the network architecture and O&M must be 
simplified to make O&M easier and improve operation efficiency.

Huawei released the Green Intelligent OptiX Network to enable industrial 
digitalization. At MWC 2022, Huawei launched five innovative scenario-based 
solutions — FTTO(Fiber To The Office), FTTM(Fiber To The Machine), Single 
OptiX, DC OptiX, and Sensing OptiX — which fully incorporate the green and 
"FIBERS" concepts to empower industrial digitalization.

At the end of the speech, Richard Jin stated, "We work with global partners to 
combine optical technologies with industry practices to help achieve safer 
connections, smarter services, faster transmission, more efficient production, 
more reliable data, and simpler O&M, facilitating the digitalization of various 
industries."

The MWC 2022 is taking place from February 28 to March 3 in Barcelona, Spain. 
Huawei will showcase enterprise products and solutions at Booth 1H50, Hall 1, 
Fira Gran Via. For more information, go visit
