During UBBF 2022, Mr. Simon Lin, Senior Vice President of Huawei and President 
of Huawei Asia-Pacific Region, delivered a keynote speech entitled "Advanced 
Connectivity, Boost Growth". In the speech, he 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.

Home setting: A smart home entry is built for gigabit broadband connections to 
achieve business monetization in home connection scenarios.

The upgrade of home networks and 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 
monetization. Simon Lin introduced three ways to monetize home network 
connections:

Gigabit to Home: Fast and large-scale deployment of optical fibers lays the 
foundation for operators to build a positive business cycle. Deploying optical 
fibers 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).
Gigabit to Room: Huawei's fiber to the room (FTTR) all-optical solution 
effectively addresses the challenge that only 100 Mbps bandwidth is available 
upon the subscription of gigabit to home, ensuring gigabit connections in each 
room. This solution also provides remote home network configuration and O&M 
capabilities to reduce operators' maintenance costs by more than 50%. Good 
network and service experiences can ensure operators' solution sales at a 
premium rate.
Gigabit + Services: 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. Currently, operators 
have just begun to put into practice and expand new services based on optical 
fiber home networks, and the potential for further exploration in the future is 
limitless.
Enterprise setting: A connection entry is built for the digital transformation 
of enterprises to monetize 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 connection solutions. 
Currently, more and more enterprise services are migrating to the cloud, 
allowing operators to expand their business space. Simon Lin noted that 
operators can monetize enterprise-oriented connections in three ways:

Bandwidth upgrade for private line services: Enterprise private lines are a 
high-value market for operators and can be used for covering campus networks 
and enterprise data center networks. The private line bandwidth is upgraded 
from Gbps to 10 Gbps to offer high-quality connections in and out of campuses 
and data centers.
Scenario-specific differentiated solutions: 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.
Upgrade from private lines to private networks: As many enterprise branches 
need to access multiple clouds, N x N private lines are required. Operators can 
use multi-cloud backbone and network slicing technologies to upgrade private 
lines to private networks, providing deterministic network assurance for 
enterprises.
Green solution: All-optical, simplified, and intelligent green networks enable 
the green development of various industries.

According to Simon Lin, Huawei is cooperating with operators to help the 
International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector 
(ITU-T) formulate standards and jointly define the network carbon intensity 
energy (NCIe) indicator system. 

"A sculpture lies hidden within a marble block, but only the greatest artist 
can set it free," said Simon Lin, pointing out that operators have inherent 
network advantages in connectivity and will bring unlimited interconnection 
value to the world if their connectivity capabilities are fully unleashed. He 
also stated that Huawei will continue to explore connectivity technologies and 
solutions with customers and partners, and work with operators to promote 
business growth.
