Barcelona, Spain – March 11, 2025 – Huawei has announced the launch of its enhanced Fiber to the Office (FTTO) 2.0 solution at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025, marking a significant step in the evolution of 10G campus networks.
Perry Yang, President of Huawei Enterprise Optical Domain, emphasized the growing adoption of fiber-based solutions in campus networks. “Wi-Fi 7 has entered the ramp-up phase, and ‘fiber-in copper-out’ has become the preferred choice for many customers. To date, more than 10,000 campuses worldwide have deployed the FTTO solution,” Yang stated.
Huawei first introduced the FTTO 2.0 solution in 2024 to support the transition of campus networks from 10G to 50G. The latest iteration of FTTO 2.0 delivers four key upgrades, enhancing network performance and efficiency:
1. Bandwidth Enhancement for High-Performance Applications
Huawei has launched the industry’s first commercial 50G Passive Optical Network (PON) to meet the growing bandwidth demands of applications such as VR classrooms and pathological diagnosis rooms. Upgrading campus networks from 10G PON to 50G PON allows for 50G connectivity to classrooms and 10G connectivity to Wi-Fi, enabling seamless ultra-broadband services.
- The new 10G optical terminal P883H ensures smooth online class streaming with 2.5 Gbps support.
- The high-performance Wi-Fi 7 optical access point (AP) W817C enhances mobile office experiences with uninterrupted connectivity.
2. Expanded Scenario Applications
Huawei has introduced tailored solutions for various environments:
- The outdoor 10G Wi-Fi 7 optical AP W817T provides seamless coverage for hotel swimming pools and beachfront areas.
- The optical gateway E853E supports remote PON ports, catering to the connectivity needs of primary schools and kindergartens.
- The 10G Panel ONU P892M enables direct fiber connectivity to hospital beds, eliminating the need for additional information boxes and facilitating installation on bed head panels.
3. Multi-Campus Network Management
Huawei’s multi-tenant network management platform, One NMS, enables centralized management of multiple Managed Service Provider (MSP) tenants, streamlining operations and reducing redundant infrastructure. The platform improves operational efficiency and cuts O&M costs by 30%.
4. AI-Driven Network Planning
Huawei has introduced the industry’s first AI-based planning tool for all-optical campuses. This tool can automatically recognize CAD drawings and generate network configurations, reducing design time from two days to just one hour.
With these advancements, Huawei’s FTTO 2.0 solution continues to lead the transformation of campus network infrastructure, delivering enhanced efficiency, expanded application scenarios, and AI-driven automation.
