Press Release
[Barcelona, Spain, March 3rd, 2025] During MWC 2025, Ms. Pilar Puerta Galvan, Transmission Director of MasOrange, delivered a keynote speech at the Green All-Optical Network Forum on “Leading Optical Network Accelerates Digitalisation.” As one of the largest telecom operators in Spain, MasOrange has built a leading optical network to deliver the premium experience for consumers, enterprises, and home broadband users, while accelerating digital and intelligent transformation.
As the new leader of the Spanish telecoms market, MasOrange has over 39 million mobile lines and more than 7.1million broadband users. MasOrange is committed to (re)connecting people by putting technology to work to provide the best experience, and high-quality networks ensure No.1 customer satisfaction. With the emergence of 5G, 4K/8K Video, digital service and AI new application, the network traffic is expected to triple in the next five years. Therefore, the construction of fibre infrastructure and evolution of innovative technology must make strides to cope with the challenges of digital floods towards AI era.
Ms. Pilar shared the cooperation between MasOrange and Huawei to build the present optical network empowered by three leading pillars. First is leading capacity with 400G Mesh backbone. The 400G/800G speed rate enlarges network capacity by 2 times and reduces cost per bit by 30%, and 1.2Tbps innovative field trials over 320km for the longest distance milestone. What is more, unified mesh architecture is like a 3D bridge to balance traffic without congestion, and supports network evolution in 10 years. Second is premium experience with widely coverage metro optical network. E2E OXC can greatly reduce the power consumption by 40% caused by optical-electrical conversion in the transparent sites, and guarantees service bandwidth and latency for better video experience to customer, and accelerates digitalisation and AI new services development. Third is leading network automation. Enabled by AI technologies in the network like traffic prediction/fibre cut prediction/service interruption prediction, network O&M efficiency can be improved by 20%, and service TTM can be improved by 30%.
Ms. Pilar emphasised, “With this leading optical network, we look forward to empowering digital world that will enhance the quality of life and customer experience within the future digital society.”
