China Mobile and Huawei Complete China' s First 10G GPON Full-Service Test over a Live Network

[Shenzhen, China, 31 August, 2010] Huawei, a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, recently announced that it completed China's first 10G GPON full-service test with China Mobile over a live network. This test demonstrated that Huawei' s 10G GPON solution is both backward and forward compatible, and is capable of supporting any service and any scenario. 

Huawei created a 10G GPON network environment after upgrading a live GPON network of Zhejiang Mobile, a subsidiary of China Mobile. The 10G GPON network was then tested using ITU-T G.987-compliant test schemes, which verified 10G GPON's support for diverse services, such as Internet data, IMS-based voice, IPTV, E1 leased line, Ethernet leased line, video conferencing, and WLAN backhaul. Following the completion of this test, the 10G GPON network environment has continued to service users over the live network, with the aim to further test 10G GPON stability and support for full-service operations. 

You Yiyong, president of Access Network, Huawei, said, "We are honored to have collaborated with China Mobile in completing the 10G GPON full-service test, the first of its kind in China. As part of Huawei' s All-IP convergence strategy, our 10G GPON solution will enable operators to simplify their networks, improve broadband efficiency and meet the requirement of full-service access. We will continue our teamwork with carriers to advance the progression and commercialization of the 10G GPON industry chain." 

Huawei has built and delivered more commercial end-to-end FTTx projects for world-leading operators than any other provider. Huawei's FTTx products and solutions, which offer end users new high-speed Internet and fixed-mobile convergence services, have been adopted by many of the world' s leading operators, including China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom, Vodafone, BT, and Telecom Italia.
