In the 5G era, data explosions, diversified KPIs in vertical business scenarios, and OTN networks that create cost-effective, high-quality user experiences, reducing network construction costs are the core demands of operators. ZTE’s E-OTN solution escorts the end-to-end speed channel for 5G networks. It can provide telecom operators with ultra-long-range,high-bandwidth, high-performance 400G solutions, which will increase revenue and reduce revenue.

ZTE’s high-performance 400G solution adopts optical domain optimization patent technology and is equipped with industry-leading high-performance chips, which can effectively improve transmission performance, reduce filtering cost, and realize single-chip single-channel 400G non-electric transmission distance of more than 4000km. In January 2019, in the single-carrier 400G? OTN live network test organized by China Mobile Research Institute, ZTE stood out from all the manufacturers participating in the test and obtained the longest test score based on 16QAM single-carrier 400G transmission, exceeding 600km. And realize the hybrid transmission of the existing network 100G/200G/400G. The solution can reduce the deployment of relay sites during long-distance transmission, and effectively save customers’ investment in network construction.

In addition, the 400GE interface will become the mainstream of the DCI solution. According to OVUM, the total revenue of 400GE interfaces will be approximately 46% by 2024 (cited from Datacom Transceiver and AOC Forecast: 2018–24). In the 400G access DCI scenario on the customer side, ZTE’s single-chip 1.2T technology will be the simplest, lowest power, highest integration and best transmission performance solution.

In addition, ZTE’s OTN system can achieve flexible spectrum adjustment from 37.5GHz to 150GHz in a single channel, thus achieving optimal matching with bandwidth, maximizing network value, flexibly adapting to multiple transmission scenarios, and significantly saving fiber resources for operators. Increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Conserving the high-value 5G era transmission network.

Up to now, ZTE has successfully deployed more than 400 100G and over 100G commercial networks and test networks around the world, covering more than 400,000 kilometers of fiber length.  According to the latest report of OVUM, ZTE’s optical network market share increased first in the second quarter of 2019. According to the latest rating of GlobalData, ZTE’s ZXONE 9700 series maintains the Leader rating of “core grouping-optical transmission” and “metropolitan grouping-optical transmission”. The ZXMP M721 series maintains the Very Strong rating in the “Packet Optical Access” category. In the future, ZTE will continue to invest in research and development and strive to build a high-quality OTN network.
