Since Huawei launched the FTTR all-optual home solution in 2020, it has released commercial packages in more than 25 operators around the world, with 14 million users.
During the MWC 2024 Barcelona, Chen Banghua, president of Huawei’s optical product line, officially released the industry’s first FTTR+X all-optual smart home product to the world at Huawei 2024 ICT solutions and product conference- Huawei iFTTR Starlight F50 series new products, on the basis of FTTR all-light home networking, upgrade the ability to integrate intelligence to iFTTR (Intelligent FTTR), and add more intelligent applications such as home storage, Wi-Fi home and smart home to enrich users. Digital family life helps operators provide richer smart home business.
Since Huawei launched the FTTR all-optual home solution in 2020, it has released commercial packages in more than 25 operators around the world, with 14 million users. Huawei FTTR all-optical home solution brings home users the ultimate home Wi-Fi experience with ultra-gigabit and whole house coverage without dead corners, and also brings business success to operators. The practice of global operators shows that through FTTR, ARPU can grow by 30%, Wi-Fi rate can be increased by 60%, and user satisfaction can be 100%, which greatly improves the home gigabit broadband experience and allows users to enjoy digital home life.
With the advent of the Gigabit era, the home network business is booming. The emergence and popularization of businesses represented by network storage, smart home, 4K live broadcast, 8K high-definition video, VR/AR, etc., put forward higher requirements for home network quality in terms of speed, delay and concurrency. At the same time, the user’s smart family life still exists. In four major aspects of problems and challenges, including Wi-Fi network jams, resulting in frequent “dropping” in smart life; mobile phone memory is full, and OTT cloud storage security concerns are heavy; home smart devices are easy to be attacked as security risks, and private data such as monitoring are threatened; smart home APP switches frequently, smart Hui family has complex controls, tedious experiences, etc.
Huawei’s new generation of FTTR+X all-light smart home product iFTTR Starlight F50 continues to innovate in the four aspects of connection, experience, application and service, completely solves the above four major problems of smart family life, creates a smart home optical connection center, and helps users enjoy high-quality and more convenient smart family. Life:
● Connection upgrade, through the innovative architecture of optical + Wi-Fi integration, combined with the latest Huawei Wi-Fi 7 technology, F50 increases the Wi-Fi rate from 2000 Mbps to 3000 Mbps, achieving coverage without dead angles; at the same time, it supports up to 256 devices concurrency, achieving full Home smart devices are connected to the Internet at high speed, saying goodbye to the delay. The user side of the device also supports 2.5GE or 10GE network ports to achieve 10 gigabits to the room, ensuring high-speed transmission experience such as VR/AR, file download and cloud services.
● Experience upgrade, iFTTR virtualizes the entire Wi-Fi into a super Wi-Fi hotspot, and shortens the roaming time from 100 milliseconds in the industry to 10 milliseconds through accurate clock synchronization, and loses 0 packets when switching, so as to achieve no-perception roaming. At the same time, the F50 has become one of the first products to obtain the performance evaluation certification of the World Wireless LAN Application Development Alliance (WAA) with its high-quality WiFi capabilities, ensuring the ultimate digital home experience for users.
● Smart applications, F50 integrates multiple smart home applications such as home storage, Wi-Fi home watch and IOT safe through built-in storage and computing power. The first iFTTR and storage intelligent collaboration, providing users with up to 8TB of massive private storage, one-touch backup, intelligent album search and internal and external network backup exclusive bandwidth guarantee, realizing the second transfer of photos and videos; at the same time, it supports the collaborative backup of data with the operator’s cloud disk. F50 can also use Wi-Fi signal fluctuations to sense the movement of indoor people and animals, and provide high-precision house-watching services while protecting family privacy. F50 also creates a smart home platform and ecology for operators through open source Hongmeng OS, and uses the iFTTR APP to achieve unified control of smart devices, making multi-APP tedious operation in the past.
● Service upgrade, Huawei’s original self-adhesive gecko optical cable scheme, does not rely on professional tools, deploys quickly like using tape, reduces the deployment time at each point from 30 minutes to 15 minutes, and supports user self-service installation, helping operators reduce the installation and maintenance cost of FTTR.
It is particularly worth mentioning that in terms of appearance, Huawei iFTTR Starlight (OptiXstar)F50 series is produced by Milan industrial designers. The continuous and smooth lines symbolize the infinite communication between people and the world. The color matching comes from the natural beauty of mountains and rivers. It has three colors: ice lake blue, Kunlun white and obsidian black, and is integrated into the mainstream home style.
Huawei iFTTR Starlight(OptiXstar) F50 series helps users enjoy smart family life, and also opens up new opportunities for operators to grow trillion-level digital families. Huawei will continue to increase investment in R&D and innovation in the field of FTTR. Through the combination of innovative technology and practice, Huawei will give full play to the technical advantages of FTTR, build a smart home optical connection center in the AI era, comprehensively improve the digital life experience of smart homes, and accelerate the progress towards a beautiful intelligent world.
