Telecom Lead Asia: Huawei announced that it will help
China Mobile Shangdong Branch to deploy WLAN mobile backhaul networks in 17
cities of Shandong province with its FTTW (Wi-Fi backhaul) solution.
The solution uses GPON access technology to
backhaul WLAN data streams, providing 54 Mbit/s Internet access for 50,000 WLAN
hotspots in schools, offices, transport hubs, hotels, leisure places, downtown
areas, and residential areas.
To meet the demand for high bandwidth mobile broadband access,
and to improve the company’s competitiveness, Shandong Mobile will deploy
high-bandwidth WLAN networks to provide convenient hotspots for users to access
Internet services.
The combination of WLAN and existing mobile communication
networks provides high-speed mobile broadband access. Mobile broadband allows
users to work away from their offices, browse websites, send and receive
E-mails, watch online movies, and download large files on the go.
Huawei’s FTTW (Wi-Fi backhaul) solution applies to Shandong
Mobile’s E2E mobile backhaul network, covering the OLT deployed in the central
office, the optical distribution network (ODN), and the optical access
equipment MDUs.
Compared with traditional mobile backhaul networks,
Huawei’s FTTW solution, which is an integral part of Huawei’s SingleFAN
solution, saves fibers, ensures a high investment utilization rate, and allows
for easy network maintenance and efficient fault location.
In comparison with traditional FTTH/FTTB fixed access
solutions, Huawei’s FTTW solution supports more specifications and features to
meet the requirements of service deployment in mobile networks. For example,
Huawei’s FTTW solution supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), which reduces
routing workload for WLAN AP power supply, simplifies installation of WLAN
hotspots, and shortens service deployment time. This solution better satisfies
the requirements of mobile network construction.
