ᶺ Ultra-low latency ᶺ Ultra-high bandwidth
An E2E optical-electrical converged OTN originates from wavelength
network enables one-hop data division multiplexing (WDM)
transmission and detectable, technology. It divides the available
visualized, planned, and millisecond- spectrum within the communication
level private line latency, regardless of field into 120 channels. Each channel

Hard Pipe
The optical service unit (OSU) technology is a next-generation OTN technology
evolved from the existing OTN technology system.
OSU defines a lower-rate optical service unit flex (OSUflex) container to carry
smaller-granularity services, thereby serving more high-value users per 100
Gbit/s.
OSU optimizes the multiplexing mapping path. Client-side signals can be
encapsulated and mapped to ODUflex using OSUflex or directly mapped to
higher-order ODUk, allowing a flexible coexistence with already established
OTN networks.

02-3 Key Technology 2: ASON 2.0, Intelligent
Network with High Reliability
Automatically switched optical network (ASON) is a new technology in the
transport network field. Huawei ASON solutions are divided into three types:
optical-layer ASON, electrical-layer ASON, and SDH ASON (OCS ASON).
ASON implements automatic discovery of nodes, topologies, and resources by
introducing signaling to transmission networks and providing a GMPLS control
plane. This enables the optical transport network to automatically allocate
network bandwidth and dynamically configure trails. This way, private line
services can be automatically established in an E2E manner and provisioned
within seconds.

ASON services share the same granularities with traditional WDM services.
This means they can be interconnected and managed in a unified manner.
If Huawei OptiX OSN products deployed on the live network meet the
conditions for provisioning ASON services, users can download the required
software and upgrade their live network to an ASON network.
