Global leader stc Group and technology giant Huawei reach unprecedented optical speed of 2.4 terabits per second, establishing a new global standard.
Stc Group and Huawei Achieve Global First with Ultra-High-Speed Optical Solution
In a groundbreaking collaboration, stc group and Huawei have successfully trialed an ultra-high-speed optical solution, delivering a record-breaking data transmission speed of 2.4 terabits per second (Tbps) globally for the first time on a live optical network. This monumental achievement positions Saudi Arabia as a global digital hub.
The trial, carried out using Huawei's next-generation OptiX OSN 9800 K12 platform, has demonstrated a single-fiber capacity of up to 96 Tbps, with 2.4 Tbps per port throughput. This cutting-edge solution is set to meet the surging demand from data-intensive industries and advanced computing applications, significantly contributing to Saudi Arabia's digital transformation.
The impact of this trial on Saudi Arabia's digital transformation is substantial. It enables the handling of Peta bps-level traffic needed for future digital services, cloud computing, and smart city initiatives. Moreover, the network is secured with Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), providing unbreakable encryption for critical government and financial data, enhancing cybersecurity as digital infrastructure grows.
The innovations in this collaboration extend beyond ultra-high-speed data transmission. The solution incorporates L4 self-healing network capabilities, which include intelligent automation for real-time fiber performance monitoring, day-level service provisioning, and automated handling of network faults and traffic surges. These abilities reduce service deployment cycles by more than 70%, empowering cloud providers to efficiently manage unexpected traffic spikes, thereby improving network resilience and operational efficiency.
The stc group, a leading digital enabler, is the first operator globally to deploy this cutting-edge solution. This deployment marks a significant step toward establishing a pivotal foundation for Saudi Arabia's transformation into a premier global digital hub. The collaboration between stc group and Huawei continues to set a global benchmark for operational excellence, security, and connectivity.
In summary, this collaboration demonstrates a leading-edge optical transport technology that substantially advances Saudi Arabia's digital infrastructure. It combines ultra-high-speed data transmission, robust security through QKD, and intelligent automation that supports a self-healing, highly resilient network architecture. The achievements of this collaboration position the Kingdom to address the escalating demands of advanced digital services over the next decade.
