Partnership comes off the announcement, that the UK Govt. is reviewing a ban on Huawei.
China Mobile Tianjin (Tianjin Mobile) and Huawei have announced the industry’s first commercial use of next generation optical transport network (NG OTN) for Tianjin Medical University General Hospital.
China’s digital economy has seen continual growth and upgrades across numerous industries and 5G applications and cloud services are playing an important role in pushing private lines to offer cloud-network integration and differentiated experience beyond basic network connections.
As a primary infrastructure developer, Tianjin has built an end-to-end OTN all-optical network with innovative technologies such as Huawei’s 200G, OXC, and iMaster NCE.
Recently Tianjin Mobile and Huawei released an all-optical government/enterprise private network to provide world-leading services that are fast and smart for government, finance, healthcare, education, and industrial interconnections.
- Speed: premium private line, preferential access, plug-and-play end devices, and ultra-fast provisioning; all-optical network, one-hop transmission, and MS-level latency; end-to-end OTN, 10M–100G access, and ultra-high bandwidth.
- Smart: intelligent, mesh, and 3D network architecture to achieve intelligent and reliable multi-level protection; customer self-service, on-demand bandwidth selection, one-click adjustment, intelligent speed increase, and smart assurance.
In addition to offering basic bandwidth, Tianjin Mobile will also provide Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, with speed increase and smart assurance — upgrading E-Clinic services with online diagnosis, treatment, and electronic health records, ensuring smooth communication between doctors and patients.
In the next phase, Tianjin Mobile will work with industry partners including Huawei to further the construction of all-optical OTN networks, innovate industrial applications and quality experience, facilitate the digital and cloud-based transformation in various industries, as well as promote the digital economy as a driving force in Tianjin.
The completed project comes off the back of an announcement by the UK Government that it will review impact of allowing Huawei telecoms equipment to be used in British 5G networks.
According to the BBC, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) became involved following the US Government’s decision to add more restrictions to Huawei.
“Following the US announcement of additional sanctions against Huawei, the NCSC is looking carefully at any impact they could have to the UK’s networks.”
The sanctions restrict Huawei from using US technology and software to design its semiconductors.
CIO Tech Asia reported last week, the US Department of Commerce announced further sanctions on Huawei for breaking regulations implemented last year that require the firm to obtain a licence to export US items.
