At the 2023 Huawei Global Analyst Summit on April 20, industrial organizations, 
industry analysts, leading operators and enterprises, and Huawei discussed 
F5.5G industry development strategies and application scenarios in depth during 
the "Embracing F5.5G to Lead 10Giga City with Innovation" forum.

To meet network connection requirements for higher-than-gigabit bandwidth, ETSI 
released the F5G Advanced and Beyond White Paper in 2022, and WBBA released the 
next-generation broadband development roadmap. The evolution from 1 Gbps to 10 
Gbps has gradually become a consensus in the industry. Richard Jin, President 
of Huawei Optical Business Product Line, said: "Oriented to F5.5G, from Giga 
network to 10Giga city, Huawei believes that all-optical 10Giga city will start 
in five scenarios — home, enterprise, machine, computing, and sensing." He also 
encouraged the entire industry to cooperate in standard formulation, policy 
promotion, technological innovation, and ecosystem application in order to 
jointly build 10Giga cities and stride into an intelligent world.

-Home: The emergence of new applications such as ultra-HD video, XR, metaverse, 
and cloud desktop requires higher bandwidth, lower latency, and higher 
reliability of home broadband. Taking an 8K naked-eye 3D TV as an example, to 
implement H.264-compressed multi-view imaging, an access bandwidth of over 3 
Gbps is required.
-Enterprise: Smart campus applications require improved network capabilities. 
For example, applications such as digital-assisted diagnosis and treatment, 
multi-camera live broadcast of sports events, and holographic interactive 
design require 10G optical network to provide enterprises with access bandwidth 
higher than 1 Gbps and network latency lower than 10 ms.
-Machine: With the digital upgrade of industries such as electric power, 
manufacturing, and port, future industrial production requires a 10G 
all-optical production network that supports intelligent connection of 
everything. Such a network delivers bandwidth in excess of 10 Gbps, latency 
lower than 1 ms, and jitter lower than 20 μs jitter for ultra-HD AOI 
quality check and production line PLC.
-Computing: With the rapid development of cloud computing, the network 
bandwidth between data centers and users increases rapidly, and the latency 
requirement becomes more and more stringent. A 10G network uses the simplified 
architecture of 400G backbone network, 100G metro access, and all-optical 
grooming to reduce transmission power consumption and make cloud computing 
power a ready-to-use resource.
-Sensing: The optical fiber sensing capability enables fiber digitalization and 
accurately locates faults, achieving visible and manageable fiber networks and 
improving network operation efficiency. On the basis of home broadband access, 
the laser 3D optical sensing technology can dynamically monitor the elderly for 
falls, helping protect their health.

To support the development of 10G services, Huawei has achieved technological 
innovation and commercial use in multiple fields, such as FTTR, 50G PON, 
Alps-WDM, 400G, OSU hard pipe, and green industrial optical network, helping 
operators continuously evolve their networks.

At the forum, Richard Mahony, a member of WBBA and Vice President of Informa 
Tech, said that WBBA accelerate timely emergence of next generation broadband 
everywhere, that delivers a sustainable long-term ROI for all industries. Ao 
Li, Chief Engineer of China Academy of Information and Communications 
Technology (CAICT), stated that the F5G Advanced era represented by 10G optical 
networks is accelerating and will build a solid digital infrastructure for 
home, enterprise, cloud, and computing services.

Tom Pang, Senior Vice President of the Network Planning of Hong Kong 
Telecommunications (HKT), said that HKT will continue to evolve PON as the 
next-generation access network. Abigail Cardino, Head of Transformation 
Governance Division and Vice President of Broadband Business, Globe Telecom, 
said that Globe creates wonderful experiences for Filipino homes to have 
choices, overcome challenges, and discover new ways to enjoy life. And Wang 
Xinping, Director of Information and Network Center, Central South University, 
pointed out that Central South University hopes to implement high-speed 
integration of wired, wireless, IoT, and 5G networks through the "One Network" 
project, and carry multiple functional networks in a unified manner to fully 
connect campus data and applications.

Looking ahead, industry experts are calling on all parties in the industry to 
continuously promote innovative services and experiences, facilitate the 
evolution of all-optical networks to 10G, and stride into F5.5G together, 
thereby building a better intelligent world.
