Huawei Interprets the F5.5G All-Optical Target Network to Accelerate Gigabit Popularization and Promote 10Gbps Commercial Use

Published

on

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — During MWC 2024, the “Green All-Optical Network Forum” was successfully held by the well-known European research and analysis institute IDATE. The participants advocated seizing the development opportunities of the gigabit broadband market and ushering in the 10Gbps network era. Kim Jin, Vice President of Huawei Optical Business Product Line, interprets the F5.5G all-optical target network to accelerate gigabit popularization and support the evolution of future networks to 10Gbps, opening up the new era of F5.5G commercial use.

Optical broadband is moving from video-driven 100 Mbps to experience-driven 1Gbps, and enabling intelligence-driven 10Gbps connections. Under this trend, Huawei proposes an F5.5G all-optical target network need to build an F5.5G all-optical target network that supports 3 network capabilities, and 4 network architecture. That is, achieve 3 network capabilities: 10Gbps ubiquitous access, metro network reducing latency to 1ms, and backbone network achieving 99.9999% availability; and build 4 network architecture: backbone network deploys 400G, 800G OTN to connect data centers, metro network requires 100G to COs, access network uses 50G PON to homes and enterprises, and connects 10Gbps to room.

Home network: The number of FTTR users has reached 14 million. FTTR helps operators sell “1 network” with FTTR instead of “1 fiber plus 1 terminal” with FTTH. FTTR is expanding from the connection function to smart home applications (FTTR+X), that is, the convergence of FTTR networks and various smart home applications. Operators can furtherly sell multiple applications on top of “1 network”. Huawei launches the industry’s first FTTR+X product, iFTTR F50, which increases the rate from 2000 Mbps to 3000 Mbps. In addition, it introduces built-in storage and computing units to provide users with up to 8 TB storage and intelligent album search functions, helping carriers expand the boundaries of home broadband services.

Optical access network: There are nearly 200 million gigabit users worldwide. More than 50 carriers have released 10Gbps commercial packages. The rapid development of gigabit services is driving the upgrade of optical access networks from GPON to 10G PON or even 50G PON. Huawei FlexPON+ solution helps carriers smoothly evolve from GPON to 10G PON at the optimal cost, promoting the development of gigabit users. In addition, the 7-modes-in-1 50G PON with symmetric upstream and downstream transmission supports 100% reuse of existing ODN, protecting carriers’ investment. The MA5800T, the industry’s first intelligent OLT, supports 2Tbps per slot and an intelligent engine, supporting ubiquitous 10Gbps access.

Metro network: It is estimated that 85% of enterprise applications will be migrated to the cloud by 2025. The ultra-low latency of 1ms and flexible service scalability of the metro network are the key to ensuring the ultimate user experience and quick connection to the cloud. Huawei Alps-WDM solution deploys 100G and 200G OTN at the edge of the metro network. The E2E all-optical switching enables one-hop service transmission and cloud access within milliseconds, helping carriers build a simplified and ultimate-experience metro network.

Backbone network: The traffic between data centers increases by more than 50% annually. Cloudification of enterprise production systems requires higher network availability. Huawei’s leading high-performance 400G and 800G OTN, optical-electrical hybrid ASON, and OSN 9800 K36, the industry’s first OTN product for data centers, provide 1.6T per slot and a single-fiber capacity of 100T, and improve network availability from 99.999% to 99.9999%.

Kim Jin said, “Huawei will continue to innovate based on the F5.5G all-optical target network, to help carriers seize development opportunities in the gigabit market and accelerate F5.5G commercial use, embracing the new wave of market prosperity.”

Jassper Shipping to Invest US$50M, Puts India at Center of Global Push

Published

on

By

HYDERABAD, India and DUBAI, UAE and NEW YORK, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Jassper Shipping, a project logistics and specialised cargo solutions company, today announced a growth capital programme of up to US$50 million, subject to prevailing market conditions, requisite regulatory approvals and internal corporate authorizations, to be deployed over the next three years.

The intended capital infusion aligns to India’s infrastructure, manufacturing and energy expansion, while integrating industrial supply chain capabilities across India, the Gulf, Southeast Asia, Africa, the Red Sea and the Far East.

Under Phase 1, Jassper Shipping intends to deploy US$10 million to its B2B project logistics business. That money is earmarked for sectors the company already serves: power, steel, petrochemicals, heavy engineering, manufacturing and large infrastructure.

McKinsey & Company puts the global project logistics market at over US$400 billion by 2030, driven by infrastructure builds, energy transition spending and trade route restructuring. The World Economic Forum notes this restructuring is pushing capital toward emerging-market corridors, with India, the Gulf and Southeast Asia as priority destinations.

India’s major ports handled 915.17 million tonnes of cargo in FY 2025–26, up 7.06% year-on-year, per the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways. That tracks with what Jassper sees across its own corridors, where industrial activity, energy projects and infrastructure builds push up demand for specialised cargo handling, port connectivity and inland transport.

“India is in the middle of a multi-year investment cycle across infrastructure and industry, and that is opening up real opportunities for specialised logistics players. Our US$50 million programme is about building the scale and execution strength to participate in that — and to do it from India, radiating outward to the Gulf and our other international corridors,” said Pushpank Kaushik, CEO & Head of Business Development (Subcontinent, Middle East & Southeast Asia), Jassper Shipping.

About Jassper Shipping

Founded in 1993, Jassper Shipping is an international shipping and logistics company providing project logistics, breakbulk logistics, bulk logistics, ship chartering and industrial supply chain solutions. The company has operations and network coverage across SEA, Africa, Arabian Gulf, Red Sea and Far East Asia, among others.

Over the years, Jassper Shipping has expanded into allied businesses including Jassper Fuels and integrated EVs into its distribution logistics, enabling integrated supply chain solutions.

FROM 19 SEPTEMBER – THE BIENNALE OPENS TO EVERYONE

From Saturday 19 September to Sunday 13 December 2026, the 18th Lyon Biennale – Contemporary Art invites audiences to discover a new artistic map of Lyon and its metropolitan area.

Entitled “Passer d’un rêve à l’autre / To pass from one dream to another”, this 18th edition is under the artistic direction of Isabelle Bertolotti and curated by Catherine Nichols.

Inspired by Lyon’s traboules — passageways that lead through courtyards and buildings, connecting one space to another — the Biennale explores the ways in which we can move from one mode of perception to another and, perhaps, from one collective dream to another.

Drawing on the history of Lyon as a city of trade, production, circulation and exchange, this edition examines the economies that organise our lives: the ways in which human and more-than-human beings acquire, transform, share and circulate the material and immaterial resources that enable them to live.

11 VENUES TO EXPERIENCE THE CITY DIFFERENTLY

With 120 artists and 11 exhibition venues, this year’s Biennale extends far beyond a traditional museum itinerary. Cultural institutions, heritage sites, former industrial spaces, public spaces and places of transit form a geography to be discovered across the city and metropolitan area:

Les Grandes LocosMusée d’art contemporain de Lyon – macLYONMusée des Tissus et des Arts décoratifsTraboules des pentes de la Croix-RousseJardin du Musée des Beaux-ArtsIAC – Institut d’art contemporain / Frac Rhône-AlpesMusée des ConfluencesFondation BullukianParking LPA Saint-AntoineMetro Line B – Gare Part-Dieu stationCour des Loges, A Radisson Collection Hotel

Three venues form the principal anchors of this edition: Les Grandes Locos, macLYON and the Musée des Tissus et des Arts décoratifs.

At Les Grandes Locos, the industrial scale of the site resonates with questions of production, transformation, extraction and circulation. At macLYON, the exhibition explores more closely the conditions of existence, life and death, inheritance and debt. At the Musée des Tissus, the works examine forms of relationship, care and exchange.

Around these three major hubs, the Biennale spreads throughout the city, taking over artistic institutions, heritage sites and everyday spaces alike.

LYON: A CITY-WIDE ARTISTIC EXPERIENCE

For nearly three months, the Biennale invites audiences to see Lyon differently.

Entering a museum, walking through a traboule, encountering an artwork in a former railway-industrial site, a garden, a car park or a metro station: the itinerary turns the city itself into one of the territories of the exhibition.

With this 18th edition, the Biennale de Lyon reaffirms more strongly than ever its mission: to make contemporary art an experience of encounter, circulation and sharing, open to everyone.
