Huawei, the leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices, organized the IP GALA summit on “Making Net5.5G a Reality and Inspiring New Growth” at the MPLS SD & AI Net World Congress 2024. The summit brought together operators, standardization organizations, and industry organizations to discuss key topics such as Net5.5G application deployment, scenario innovation, and target network architecture.
During the summit, leading operators including Vivo Brazil, Telecom Argentina, and Algeria Telecom shared their live network applications and innovative practices in key technologies such as 400GE, SRv6, network slicing, and digital network mapping in Net5.5G convergent transport scenarios. This indicates that Net5.5G convergent transport is being deployed at a faster pace to support the new growth of operator services.
Zuo Meng, President of Huawei’s Data Communication Product Line Metro Router Domain, emphasized the need for operators to build a Net5.5G target network to support the upgrade to 10 Gbps connections for home broadband, mobile broadband, enterprise private line, and campus enterprise services. Accelerating the deployment of Net5.5G applications to support the business success of operators has become a consensus in the industry.
The immersive applications, digitalization, and cloudification of industries, as well as artificial intelligence applications, are driving the continuous growth of high-speed connections and bandwidth globally. To address this growth, the World Broadband Alliance (WBBA) has launched the Net5.5G initiative, targeting the deployment of technologies such as Wi-Fi 7, 400GE convergent IP transport, and hyper-converged data center networks by 2025-2030.
Key operators shared their real network deployments and innovative practices in key technologies of Net5.5G convergent transport. Vivo, one of the leading operators in Latin America, has completed multi-vendor interoperability of SRv6 and successfully deployed SRv6 on the live network in Brazil. Other operators such as Telecom Argentina and Algeria Telecom have also deployed key technologies like 400GE on their networks.
Huawei presented the target network architecture for Net5.5G convergent transport and the Private Line + X solution. This architecture is characterized by ultra-wideband, network as a service, high intelligence, and comprehensive security. The Net5.5G series solutions and products help operators develop comprehensive services and achieve new growth.
