F5G-A All-Optical Networks Drive Intelligent Campus Upgrades
F5G-A all-optical networks are already in large-scale use across sectors such as education, healthcare, ISPs, transportation, and electric power. At the summit, representatives from various industries shared their experience in F5G-A deployment and gave insights.
José Antonio Jiménez Caballero, Head of Digitalisation of Standards Dept at UNE, Spain, commented: “The POL all-optical network, with its simple architecture, energy efficiency, large bandwidth, and smooth evolution features, support efficient data transmission and enable high-quality diagnosis and treatment services in the smart healthcare system. Now, Spain is actively formulating standards and specifications for smart hospital network construction. The goal is to leverage all-optical networks to enhance hospital connectivity, meet the evolving needs of the healthcare industry, and comply with the requirements of the Gigabit Infrastructure Act (GIA).”

F5G-A Boosts ISP Innovation and Unlocks New Growth in Home Broadband
With the widespread adoption of smart home devices and upgrades to user experience, ISPs in Europe are entering a new phase of growth opportunities.
ISP Home Broadband Panel
York Liu, Vice President of Enterprise Optical Domain at Huawei, introduced Huawei’s portfolio of multi-scenario fiber access solutions based on F5G-A, including FTTH (Fiber to the Home), FTTR (Fiber to the Room), and FTTO (Fiber to the Office). These solutions provide users with high bandwidth and low latency connectivity for superior experience. For example, in the smart home scenario, Huawei has proposed a comprehensive “from one fiber to one network, and to one smart home” strategy, offering AI-ONT, iFTTR, and AI-FTTR solutions to meet the needs of different development stages of smart home construction.
Raphael Peschkes, Prokurist of Glasfaser Direkt and CMO of Carrierwerke, Germany, shared the successful launch of FTTR package in partnership with Huawei: “Through our collaboration with Huawei, we deliver true gigabit connectivity and seamless Wi-Fi coverage to the entire house for our customers. FTTR not only enhances user experience, but also lays the foundation for building smarter, more interconnected homes across Germany.”
Gonzalo Elguezabal Ayala, CEO of AOTEC, Spain, examined the trends in Spain’s HBB industry: “Spain’s FTTH coverage has now reached nearly 90%, marking a significant achievement. FTTR services are also in the pipeline. As competition intensifies in the home broadband market, ISPs should leverage their organizational strengths to unlock new growth opportunities by offering innovative products and services, cost-effective packages, and building strong brand recognition. These efforts pave the way for long-term, stable growth in the home broadband industry.”
Rafael Avendaño Torres, Head Of Strategy & Engineering at Onivia, Spain, analyzed the business benefits and challenges of FTTH solutions through real-world cases. He suggested: “ISPs can use more cutting-edge technologies such as 10G PON, Wi-Fi 7, and FTTR to strengthen their brands and flexibly adjust service packages to cope with these challenges.”
Stefan Obucina, Director of Architecture Department at PUC Belgrade Metro and Train, Serbia, shared how optical-visual linkage is used to set up intelligent borders for the metro system: “As major urban rail projects such as the Belgrade Metro continue to advance, the need for higher-precision perimeter inspection is becoming increasingly important. Huawei’s optical-visual linkage perimeter inspection solution, powered by AI-enhanced fiber sensing, offers metro operators a powerful tool to help ensure safety and reliability. Designed to deliver zero missed alarms and an ultra-low false alarm rate, it supports the prevention of intrusions and theft while reducing manual inspections and lowering O&M costs. This innovative technology demonstrates how intelligent sensing can contribute to smarter, safer metro operations worldwide.”
