du, formerly Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company
(EITC), and Huawei have announced the successful completion of the world's
first high-performance 800G in Super C+L band over OptiX OSN 9800 Kepler and M
Platform. The new enhancement will further improve customer experience for
using high-speed 5G mobile and broadband home services.
Saleem AI
Blooshi, Chief Technology Officer at du, said: "Our partnership with Huawei in the high-performance 800G optical
solution will unleash the potential of fiber, marking an important step forward
to fulfill our commitment to building the most-advanced optical network in UAE
and positioning it as a regional hub of technology innovation."
The joint
effort between du and Huawei has showcased the capability of high-performance
800G transmission with a span of 1400km in the Super C+L band system. This
breakthrough technology enables seamless connectivity between data centers,
offering an ultra-large capacity to meet the escalating traffic demands of customers.
Furthermore, the trial successfully verified the full capacity and
energy-saving capabilities of the Kepler platform, the industry's first
DC-Oriented OTN platform. This achievement paves the way for the most powerful
and sustainable connectivity required for emerging new services.
Victor Zhou,
president of the optical transmission domain at Huawei, said: "We are excited to work with du on this
project, enabling du to provide premium services to its customers. Huawei will
continue to invest and innovate in optical solutions, supporting du to achieve
greater business success."
The
high-performance 800G solution, equipped with a built-in high-baud rate
bandwidth modulator and PBC non-linear compensation algorithm, extends
transmission distance by 20%, greatly enhancing data transmission efficiency.
Additionally, the innovative Super C+L solution covers a remarkable 12THz
spectrum, capable of transmitting up to 96Tbps per fiber, unlocking the full
potential of fiber optics. OptiX Kepler, the industry's first next-generation
OTN platform, adopts an advanced dual 3D orthogonal architecture to achieve
over 100 Tbps of capacity in a single sub-rack.
The
platform's innovative heat dissipation technologies, such as intelligent Hato
fans and thermal-conductive materials, not only improve heat dissipation
capabilities but also significantly reduce power consumption, resulting in a
greener network and site.
