Huawei's 100G networks now span a total of 160,000 kilometers (four times the circumference of the Earth).

This achievement is a milestone for Huawei. In fact Connectikpeople can observe that, the overall development strategy initiates by this company produces its fruits.

Henceforth, Huawei's 100G networks, which span a total of
160,000 kilometers (four times the circumference of the Earth), are serving 100 customers across the globe.

According to Huawei, 100G networks provide ten times the capacity of currently mainstream 10G networks, as well as up to 8 Tb/s ultra-large capacities per fiber, which is equivalent to simultaneously transmitting 1 million channels of HD video services.

Connectikpeople has also discovered that, Huawei has leveraged innovation resources in the optical communications industry to make the leap from 10G to 100G.

In this dynamic, Connectikpeople may also recall that, in June 2011, Huawei built a pan-European 100G WDM backbone network for KPN International, the Netherlands, unfolding the global momentum of long-haul 100G deployments. In 2012, Huawei rolled out the world's longest 100G network (25,000 kilometers across Asia and Europe) for Rostelecom Russia, as well as the world's first G.653 fiber based 100G network for TIM Brazil, a prelude to a wave of 100G deployments in Latin America. Huawei also deployed Africa's first 100G WDM network for Unitel Angola in the same year.

Finally, the 100G market in China kicked off with Huawei's deployment of a 100G WDM network for the China Education and Research Network (CERNET), and is taking off with Huawei and China Mobile's combined initiative to deploy the world's largest 100G OTN backbone network.
