Huawei launches MAE-Litem, the world's first integrated converged website for wireless, transmission, and core networks, making digital transformation in the industry a breeze

Recently, the 16th International Coal Expo was held in Yulin, Shaanxi. At the "5G+Smart Mine" Innovation Application Release Conference jointly held by Shenhua Coal Group Corporation and industry ecosystem partners, Huawei released the integrated converged network management MAE-Lite for the industry, covering wireless, transmission, and core networks, and achieved the first commercial deployment of MAE-Lite in Shenhua Coal Group Corporation.

Energy is the lifeblood of the country and is crucial to the sustainable development of the social economy. The National Energy Technology Revolution Innovation Action Plan points out that by 2050, "a safe, green, efficient and intelligent mining technology system will be fully built to achieve safe, green, efficient and intelligent coal production." Shenhua Coal Group Co., Ltd., with the innovative attitude of "first to try", has joined hands with China Telecom Shaanxi Branch and Huawei to use 5G technology to build a new smart mine.

As we all know, there are many network devices in the coal mining industry network with various types. An intelligent "housekeeper" is needed to efficiently manage the diverse network elements in the network, such as transmission, core network, and wireless base stations. Shenhua Coal Group Co., Ltd., China Telecom Shaanxi Company, and Huawei MAE have innovatively launched the wireless, transmission, and core network integrated converged network management MAE-Lite. MAE (MBB Automation Engine) is a wireless network management system that centrally manages Huawei mobile network equipment and is a comprehensive product solution for wireless network automation. MAE-Lite is a lightweight solution for vertical industries. It is based on Huawei's full-stack solution and cloud software architecture and has the following value:

Integrated O&M: Unified management of multiple network elements in the three domains of wireless, cloud core, and transmission. The original management of multiple entrances and multiple terminals is reduced to a single-entry intelligent “steward”, improving the E2E O&M efficiency of the 5GtoB industry by 60%.

Intensive deployment: MAE-Lite reduces the number of independent network management systems from three to one, which reduces the server hardware scale and deployment costs, improves deployment efficiency, and reduces the deployment cycle from two weeks to two days.

Low-carbon operation: MAE-Lite helps the industry to practice energy conservation and emission reduction. Through centralized deployment and unified operation and maintenance, it can reduce the space of the computer room by 50% and save 90% of energy consumption.

MAE-Lite also provides more than 10 operation and maintenance management component capabilities such as fault management, performance management, and security management to ensure that the industry network is manageable and controllable, and the reliability is improved to 99.999%. At the same time, MAE-Lite supports on-demand deployment of MAE's industry-oriented operation and maintenance software apps, such as 5GtoB Suite, which can efficiently assist in the visualization of industry network terminals and proactive operation and maintenance, and help build a highly reliable industry network. Currently, MAE-Lite has been commercially deployed in Shenhua Coal Group Corporation. In the future, with the enrichment of smart mine applications and the increase of sites, MAE-Lite will take over more network elements. Huawei MAE-Lite will help Shenhua Coal Group Corporation to "go light" on the new journey of digital transformation in a miniaturized and intensive manner.

The mainstay of transformation is this peak. Ma Hongbo, President of Huawei Wireless Network SingleOSS Product Line, said: "MAE-Lite is the mainstay of the industry's digital transformation. Facing the future, Huawei MAE will continue to strengthen cooperation and continuous innovation with Shenhua Coal Group Co., Ltd. and China Telecom Shaanxi Company to jointly carry out broader, deeper and more efficient cooperation, add fuel to the digital transformation of the coal industry and create a good era for "coal" together."
