At a meeting of Airports Council International (ACI) in Muscat, Oman, Huawei presented its design on how to build a fully-connected smart airport using OTN DWDM, fiber sensing, and Passive Optical LAN technologies.
Key elements:
- Airport IP+DWDM backbone network solution : OTN DWDM enables physical isolation among multi service systems, ultra-high capacity up to 96 Tbps per fiber, supporting traffic growth in the next 10 to 15 years. In addition, this solution can support real-time intelligent fiber detection and provide the early warning for fiber abnormal status and the accurate fault location (meter-level). All this helps ensure highly-reliable data transmission, investment saving and O&M efficiency improvement.
- Airport IP+POL access network solution : For airport terminals and airfields, Huawei IP+POL point-to-multipoint passive optical network solution offers secure & reliable multi-service integrated access for various information terminals and simplifies the network architecture & cabling to reduce power consumption by 50%, reduce cables by 90% and support long-term smooth expansion for the future.
- Airport perimeter inspection solution: By using distributed optical fiber sensing and AI-enhanced algorithm, the innovative airport perimeter inspection solution can achieve zero false negatives, reduce the false positive rate by upwards of 90%, and enable meter-level accurate locating of intrusion events.
