Perfect Transformation through Fiber In/Copper Out – ZTE Helps China Telecom Forge Full Service Access FTTx Network

As the restructuring of telecom operators and deeper competition in China, operators need to improve users’ service experience and awareness and fast deploy integrated wired and wireless services. Against this backdrop, China Telecom formulated a far-sighted network transformation strategy whose main component is “Fiber In/Copper Out”. By building an FTTx network, increase access bandwidth and implement multi-service operation.

ZTE helps China Telecom successfully transform into full service operator

ZTE enjoys an all-arsound strategic partnership with China Telecom and is its important xPON equipment supplier. Through flexible, diversified, and close cooperation including standards discussions, interoperability testing, pilot application, and high-level exchanges, ZTE tailor-made a total FTTx “Fiber In/Copper Out” solution for the operator.

Revolving around China Telecom’s strategic goal of “Broadband Acceleration", ZTE integrated multiple technologies including LAN/xDSL/WiFi /POTS/CATV and provided serial customized ONU terminals including MDU/MTU/SBU/SFU/HGU to suit a number of application scenarios including FTTB/FTTO/FTTH/FTTV/FTTCab. By providing multi-service access for VoIP/HSI/IPTV/E1, the solution implemented fixed-mobile convergence and effectively supported China Telecom in building its “One Home”, “Business Navigation” and “E-Surfing” brands.

In the light of the passivity of PON and the distribution of a large number of devices deployed in corridors and outdoors, ZTE actively researched measures to reduce TCO, save energy and cut emissions. As a result, ZTE was able to offer an integrated OAM management plan that involves automatic service delivery, automatic fault location, and early warning; a multi-level power control plan; and an environmentally-friendly, energy-saving product design. Backed by these offerings, ZTE successfully built a brand-new green optical access network for China Telecom.

China Telecom successfully builds a world-leading FTTx network

After several years FTTx network construction of “Fiber In/Copper Out”. Till now, China Telecom has built a nationwide xPON network that covers 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, achieving a perfect network transformation

China Telecom made noticeable contributions to the setting and perfection of standards on xPON technology and equipment. Since its optical access users grow fast, it has gained much attention and respect of operators across the world and become the object of their study and research.
