After weathering the COVID-19 storm, the aviation industry is gradually recovering. According to an April 2023 IATA report, passenger numbers are now just 15% below 2019 levels and the gap is narrowing each month. While challenges still exist in the form of global economic uncertainty, the focus has shifted from surviving to building for future growth.

A dynamic and future-proof communications network is essential to integrated rebuilding. Huawei believes that airport network communications should be reliable, agile, simplified, green, and converged. Customer experience, reliability, and security at airports are first principles in designing airport communications systems.

Airport terminals and airside areas have diverse requirements and often run on complex siloed networks carrying vast amounts of data. The technology being developed for airports of the future must ensure the reliability of services across legacy systems that now require interoperability. To meet the trend for converged networks in the aviation industry, Huawei has introduced a fully connected fiber network solution. This is designed for smooth future upgrades and places converged networks at the heart of future communications models.

Rooted in the creative “IP+Optical” technology, this innovative network solution enables 100G transmission on the backbone layer and ensures efficient hosting of multiple services on the cross-domain access network, building a next-generation integrated airport network and laying a digital foundation for smart airports.

The fully connected fiber network solution has three key features:

Easy O&M: Based on Huawei NCE-Campus network management system, it implements fast service planning and improves management and operation efficiency.
Reliable: Using Huawei’s heritage in hard slicing isolation technologies, it simplifies the network and greatly reduces the number of single fault areas, providing safe, reliable, and energy-saving airport networks.

Sustainability: Using optical fibers to replace traditional copper cables, characterized by their light weight and small size, it extends to the end with less cabling, allowing for smooth upgrades and supporting a more sustainable industry going forward.industries/aviation
