OFweek Optical Communication Network (OFweek) - On June 29, 2016, the 18th Next Generation Optical Network Forum (NGON&DCI) was held in Nice, France, as scheduled. As the world's second-largest optical network provider, ZTE will debut its SDON whitepaper during the forum and share the latest pre-commercial deployment results in the field of 400G optical transmission through the forum, and join hands with DEUTSCHE AUSTRIA ZTE will also share its latest pre-commercial deployment results in the field of 400G optical transmission. Together with DEUTSCHE AUSTRIA TMA, ZTE's branch TMA has set a new record for the industry's longest transmission distance with a record of 475KM under the 10G/100G/400G hybrid network. In addition, ZTE's booth also featured the ZXONE 9700 S1, an all-round hybrid crossover device for optical and electrical layers, and the ZXMP M721 OD61, a compact pole-holding device for future 5G bearer and broadband applications, which attracted strong attention from the industry.

In the SDON whitepaper released by ZTE, the current SDON technology will be comprehensively analyzed from four aspects: development trends, solutions, application scenarios, and technical challenges. According to the whitepaper, SDON solution can achieve dynamic adjustment and flexible scheduling of bandwidth between DC data centers, enabling operators to achieve unified management of internal data center resources, and then according to the state of the resources in the network and the granularity of the service, data center resources and network bandwidth resources are uniformly allocated to achieve real-time scheduling and programmable control, which can greatly satisfy the customer's needs in maintenance, operation and value-added services. It can greatly satisfy customers' needs in maintenance, operation and value-added services.

Two devices that attracted a lot of attention at the booth also demonstrated ZTE's extraordinary technical strength from the backbone core layer to the metro edge layer. The ZXONE 9700 S1 is a high-capacity compact device in ZTE's 9700 series of OTN star products. It adopts optical integration technology and self-developed chips to support 400G/1T OTN transmission and multi-service unified bearer, which fully meets the needs of carriers for transparent transmission of large-particle data services, flexible scheduling, aggregation processing, and service management and monitoring. ZXMP M721 OD61 is an outdoor full-service converged device for mobile fronthaul scenarios, which is high-speed, compact, small and intelligent, and can well meet the needs of BBUs in the 5G era. It is a high-speed, compact, small and intelligent device that can meet the increasingly urgent demand for CPRI service bearer caused by centralized deployment of BBUs in the 5G era, and effectively reduce the cost of operators' base station construction.

ZTE's vice president Zhu Yongxing said: "Ultra-wide, intelligent, and converged are the future development trends of optical transmission networks, and ZTE insists on continuous innovation and has a full range of end-to-end bearer solutions. In the future, we are ready to assist our global customers in the leapfrog development of broadband."

According to the latest market report and data released by OVUM, a leading international consulting organization, ZTE is the world's third-largest WDM/CPO-T supplier, and OTN is the world's leading provider of WDM products. blank">OTN/" target="_blank">WDM products have achieved six years of consecutive growth in annual revenue, and are widely recognized by global operators. Currently, ZTE's optical network products serve more than 500 carriers and enterprise users in more than 120 countries and regions around the world, and the total length of 100G/ultra100G lines exceeds 300,000 kilometers.
