Huawei Launches the F5.5G-Oriented All-Optical Target Network
Architecture for Three Phases

During UBBF 2023, Richard Jin, President
of Huawei Optical Business Product
Line, delivered a keynote speech entitled
“Bring F5.5G to Reality: Milestones on Our
Way to Intelligent World”. In the speech,
Richard proposed the concept of three-
phase network construction for the first
time. Specifically, there are three driving
forces for network development, that is,
video (100Mbps network), experience
(1Gbps network), and intelligence (10Gbps
network). Against this backdrop, Huawei
launched the F5.5G-oriented three-phase
all-optical target network architecture
— all-optical coverage for 100Mbps
home broadband, all-optical connections
extending 1Gbps to each room, and all-
optical computing for 10Gbps Everywhere.
The three-phase construction of the all-
optical target network can meet the network
connection requirements of hot services in
each phase, bringing F5.5G into reality and
striding towards an intelligent world. Richard Jin delivering his keynote speech at UBBF 2023
