Slow internet speed, lagging video conferences, these are the pain points of Wi-Fi for small and micro businesses. How to solve them?

Currently, online video conferencing has become an important application for online office work for small and micro enterprises. Unlike services such as large file transfer and online audio and video playback, video conferencing has higher requirements for network bandwidth and is more sensitive to network latency. When the bandwidth is insufficient, the clarity of the video conference picture will be compressed, affecting the conference experience. If the network latency exceeds 400 milliseconds, the video conference will experience long periods of freezes, making it difficult to communicate normally. All of the above problems are closely related to the bandwidth, concurrency, stability and other capabilities of the enterprise's internal network.

Most small and micro enterprises purchase equipment, build networks, and perform operation and maintenance management on their own. The networks they build have low speeds and low concurrency, and are often unstable. They are unable to meet the growing network demands and become a network bottleneck that affects the video conferencing experience.

● Operators launch FTTR enterprise networking solutions to help small and micro enterprises solve network problems

Operators are the main providers of broadband access for small and micro enterprises. They have extensive experience in building home and enterprise networks and a team of professional operation and maintenance service engineers. FTTR is the latest networking solution provided by operators for small and micro enterprises. It achieves full Wi-Fi coverage within the enterprise based on optical fiber and Wi-Fi 6 technology, supports up to 300 terminals to access the Internet at the same time, and provides operation and maintenance services such as apps for network visualization management.

The FTTR networking solution has high speed, full coverage, and high concurrency, and can also provide end-to-end video conferencing acceleration capabilities to ensure a good video conferencing experience. In addition, FTTR can meet the needs of large file high-speed transmission and sharing services, that is, video conferencing and large file transmission can be carried out simultaneously, and the network can also be unimpeded.

● Huawei's new FTTR Starlight B30 product creates the ultimate experience for small and micro enterprises

Recently, Huawei released the new generation of FTTR Starlight B30 series products, which adopts the C-WAN architecture with deep integration of optical + Wi-Fi. It performs intelligent scheduling to solve the problem of disordered Wi-Fi competition in traditional architecture, realizes orderly coordination of Wi-Fi air interface, and can provide 2000Mbps Wi-Fi access capability to create a one-network experience for enterprises. Starlight B30 has three major features: intelligent connection, intelligent optimization, and intelligent simplicity:

● Intelligent connection: Through intelligent connection service applications, a high-quality Wi-Fi network is built with three advantages. Intelligent bandwidth: Intelligently perceive the transmission status of the Wi-Fi air interface to achieve on-demand expansion and acceleration of 2G bandwidth, and "zero waiting" for ultra-large file sharing; Intelligent multi-connection: Intelligent scheduling of air interface resources to achieve "zero lag" for 300 users concurrently; Smart coverage: Adopt omnidirectional, directional, dual-beam multi-mode integrated smart antenna to achieve "zero dead angle" coverage in all scenarios.

● Smart optimization: supports intelligent perception of network usage and achieves three major experience optimizations. One-click priority: supports intelligent bandwidth scheduling, giving priority to VIP users' network experience; one-click acceleration: gives priority to the user experience of the top 30 office apps, reducing the average latency by more than 80%; one-click optimization: mobile app management, supporting six dimensions of network optimization.

● Smart Simplicity: The simplified architecture allows for flexible deployment, while intelligent protection ensures network security. The simplified P2MP network architecture supports up to 2KM ultra-long-distance coverage; the industry's first PoF on-site terminator allows you to make an optical-electric composite cable connector in 2 minutes, saving time and effort; it supports three levels of security, including software security, firmware security, and link security, to ensure enterprise network security in all aspects.

In addition, Huawei has also worked with operators to provide a 5A one-stop service solution, including Accurate precision planning, Agile agile activation, All-In comprehensive acceptance, AI-Based intelligent operation and maintenance, and Attentive caring self-service, so that high-quality services can bring high-quality experience to enterprise users.

● In the future, with the support of emerging technologies such as VR/AR, the network needs to be able to smoothly upgrade and expand capacity

At present, the industry has been accelerating the exploration of the application of virtual reality technologies such as VR and AR in office tools such as video conferencing and real-time communication, and mature commercial products have also appeared on the market. Office applications based on virtual reality technology can bring users a face-to-face remote meeting experience, but will also put forward higher requirements for the network performance of small and micro enterprises, such as bandwidth exceeding 1G and millisecond-level latency. The high-speed optical fiber deployed by the FTTR solution can be upgraded to 10G without rewiring, which can meet the smooth upgrade of the network of small and micro enterprises. It can not only meet the current requirements of small and micro enterprises for network speed and stability, but also can quickly expand capacity when stronger network capabilities are needed in the future, helping small and micro enterprises to develop rapidly.
