At the meeting, the "All-Optical Innovation Lab" jointly created by China ICT and Huawei was officially inaugurated. At the same time, Ao Li, Chief Engineer of CICT and Deputy Secretary General of Broadband Development Alliance, officially released the industry's first "White Paper on Commercial Application Scenarios of 10 Gigabit Broadband Network" (hereinafter referred to as "10 Gigabit White Paper") on behalf of Broadband Development Alliance. He pointed out that the current Gigabit optical network has made significant achievements, while the 10 Gigabit pilot has also been launched, which also coincides with the reality that the three major operators have released the 50G PON White Paper mentioned above.
"For the future, with the continuous rapid evolution of optical network technology and the continuous maturity of key technologies, China will also move towards the 10 Gigabit era. From industry drive, business demand, technology development, and man-machine balance, these four drivers will also accelerate the arrival of the 10 Gigabit era." Ao Li is confident that the 10-gigabit optical network will empower the development of the industry.
The four driving forces drive the future of broadband development into the 10 Gigabit era
The 10 Gigabit White Paper focuses on the development of 10 Gigabit optical network, and takes the lead in researching the top ten potential business application scenarios for future 10 Gigabit broadband, including ultra-high-definition video, XR metaverse, cloud network optical broadband, pan-campus access, webcasting, online education, inclusive medical care, industrial manufacturing, artificial intelligence, digital cities, these ten scenarios include almost all kinds of front-end production and life scenarios, involving people's lives and work All aspects of people's life and work.

Two-dimensional innovation, 10 Gigabit optical network to empower thousands of industries
"The accelerated arrival of ubiquitous 10 Gigabit access is inseparable from the development of industrial standards, the innovation drive of industrial parties and the collaboration among industrial partners. Looking up to the era of 10 Gigabit, I believe that we can look at two dimensions: scene innovation and technological innovation.
The 10-gigabit optical network will lead to five major directions of innovation: 10-gigabit joint home, 10-gigabit joint enterprise, 10-gigabit joint machine, 10-gigabit joint computing and intelligent perception. Through 10 Gigabit Union Home, we will introduce pan-video immersive experiences such as cloud games, ultra-high definition, naked eye 3D and XR to enjoy a new space of intelligent life; through 10 Gigabit Union Enterprise, we will empower intelligent manufacturing, which can further release the digital productivity base of video communication, webcasting and online education; through 10 Gigabit Union Machine, we will realize high precision industrial production network guarantee such as 3D AOI quality inspection, and help build a digital all-optical production network for the industry; through 10 Gigabit Union Computing, we will realize a digital all-optical production network. Through 10 Gigabit Link, upward all-optical OTN connection into the calculation, downward enhanced coverage, to achieve ultra-low latency integrated access, enabling the new service of immediate access to computing power; through intelligent perception, build ubiquitous perception network, deep empowerment of flexible functions such as smart medical, smart transportation, digital twin community, to create a new city of universal wisdom and sense.
F5G-A will serve as the master plan of 10 Gigabit optical network and will build the "information artery" of the future city. The technology innovation such as 50G PON, FTTR C-WAN architecture and long-range 400G will build the foundation of 10 Gigabit era.
As an important supporting technology of F5G-A, FTTR C-WAN centralized architecture can significantly reduce network interference and conflict, meet network demands and challenges such as ultra-high bandwidth, ultra-low latency and ultra-multi-connectivity, help operators to develop business rapidly, realize true whole-house Wi-Fi gigabit experience, and form "FTTR+X The rich application of "FTTR+X". As the next-generation PON technology after 10G PON, 50G PON has become the optimal choice to support 10Gbps Everywhere with its extremely high industrial maturity, upstream and downstream ultra-high speed, and smooth evolution. Single-wave ultra-long-haul 400G can achieve the best cost per bit, save site space, provide high-quality deterministic capacity, support the development of "east data and west calculation", strengthen the connection capacity, and fully release the fiber potential.
In addition, innovative technologies and solutions are emerging in metro wavelength division, optical vision linkage wisdom perception and other enabling digital infrastructure capabilities. The innovation of the whole scene and chain empowers the whole industry to explore the future possibilities of 10 Gigabit optical network.
Jian will be in Hiranomi Palace, and will be in light with the sun and moon. The 10-gigabit optical network with F5G-A evolution will further strengthen the foundation of China's communication field and promote new breakthroughs in the application empowerment of China's optical network.
The release of 50G PON white papers is only the first step towards the reality of 10 Gigabit optical network. In the future, the industry partners will work together to pave the "fast track" of digital transformation and new business development for thousands of industries such as smart manufacturing, small and medium enterprises, and smart families with F5G-A as the base, and to light up the digital intelligence era of thousands of households. "Starlight", help China's manufacturing power, network power and digital China construction "toad"!
