ZTE and China Telecom Complete Cloud-network Synergy ProjectZTE Assists China Telecom in Boosting Cloud-Network SynergyZTE, a major international provider of telecommunications,
enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the Mobile Internet,
and the Ningxia Branch of China Telecom have completed the network
construction for the cloud-network synergy project, implementing device
provisioning in a private industrial network and service deployment in
some local networks in Ningxia, China.
This private industrial network will be one of the two planes for
private industrial slicing networks of the Ningxia Branch of China
Telecom. ZTE and the Ningxia Branch of China Telecom have worked out a
solution to interconnect ZTE's cloud network PE with the STN private
network, MAN, e-Cloud, and Centralized Security Platform to help the
operator cover user experience-oriented services in all scenarios.
In July 2020, the Ningxia Branch of China Telecom started the
cloud-network synergy project. It teamed up with ZTE to analyze the
driving force of the technology from a global service perspective and
deepen their insights into the cloud services requirements for networks.
They determined the overall network architecture at the end of 2020.
Regardless of the difficulties brought by the coronavirus outbreak, ZTE
had delivered all devices on time by the end of February 2021, ensuring
successful implementation of the project.
The project will provide the customer with diversified network
capabilities, such as fast network service provisioning, flexible
multi-cloud connection, guarantee of differentiated cloud access private
lines, and service security & reliability, to satisfy various
digital requirements of different industries and stimulate growth of the
digital economy.
For this project, ZTE offers an intelligent full-service router (cloud
network PE core) based on its ROSng routing operating system with its
proprietary intellectual property. The router allows the IP network
architecture to evolve towards simplified and intelligent. Besides,
ZTE's multi-service packet platform (on aggregation layer) adopting the
industry's most advanced distributed, large-capacity, non-blocking
switching architecture can flexibly support high-rate interfaces from GE
to 400GE, addressing high-bandwidth service demands.
ZTE's T-level 5G access device (on access layer) has the industry's
lowest single-node latency (one microsecond) and is the only one which
allows for both Mbps small-granularity hard slicing and SRv6 in the
industry. It can ensure ultimate experience of low-latency services, and
support smooth SRv6 network upgrades. At the same time, ZTE's
new-generation intelligent transport management and control system
features full-lifecycle intelligent O&M, centralized control of
ultra-large networks and full-scenario coverage of transport networks.
As 5G construction develops rapidly in 2021, China Telecom, facing the
challenges and opportunities in the new era, makes full use of its
network resource advantages to enhance its competitiveness. Moving
forward, ZTE will, as always, be committed to the promotion of
cloud-network synergy of the operator to help achieve the commercial
success in the 5G era. Source: ZTE media announcement |
