Huawei Releases Network Traffic Analysis System—uTraffic

Mobilk - Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, has announced the release of uTraffic, a network traffic analysis system. Based on Huaweis industry-leading performance management platform, uTraffic enables carriers to analyze network traffic and flow, in order to monitor the quality of network "pipes".

 

Due to the emergence of new services such as mobile Internet, high-definition video, online gaming, and cloud applications, data traffic is growing drastically and bandwidth needs are continually expanding. For many carriers, revenue is not increasing with the growth in traffic, with network "pipes" now overloaded. The ability to proactively monitor and optimize network traffic is the biggest challenge carriers face in terms of network operations and maintenance.

 

Lu Hongju, President of Huaweis Fixed Network OSS & Service Product Line, said: "Mobile broadband has evolved from the global system for mobile communications to long term evolution. Fixed broadband has evolved from traditional voice and Internet applications to high-definition video and cloud applications. Network traffic will increase tenfold and more in the next three years. Carriers are faced with rapid network traffic growth, dynamic traffic changes, and traffic flow uncertainties. Visualizing and optimizing network traffic and flow, enhancing the transmission efficiency of network "pipes", and improving service quality and experience are key issues that carriers need to solve immediately."

 

Huaweis uTraffic, a network traffic analysis system with a scalable distributed architecture, was designed to address these issues. This system can display overlapping physical topologies, geographic information system (GIS) mapping, network traffic, and also locate traffic congestion points. By collecting and analyzing traffic, uTraffic can predict traffic and broadband utilization rates for the next one to three months, in addition to forecasting where the bottleneck in the "pipe" is likely to occur. uTraffic also supports network expansion, using embedded probe technology to monitor traffic and "pipe" quality to an accuracy of 10-6, the highest in the industry. 

 

 

Huawei Completes Interoperability Testing with Microsoft Lync

 

Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, has announced the successful completion of an Interoperability Test (IOT) between Huaweis IP private branch exchange (PBX) and Microsoft Lync. 

 

Huawei has taken this opportunity to further strengthen cooperation between both parties, thereby boosting the efficiency of communications and seamless collaboration of enterprises. Going forward, both Huawei and Microsoft aim to strengthen cooperation in Unified Communications (UC), Contact Center (CC), TelePresence (TP) and Video Conference (VC), as well as showcase the joint solutions of Huawei and Microsoft at the Microsoft Technology Center (MTC). 

 

During the IOT, the Huawei eSpace U1930 gateway was used as the IP-PBX to interconnect with Microsoft Lync Server 2010. The successful IOT confirms that this device delivers a wider range of UC services to users, facilitates the access of Lync to the public switched telephone network (PSTN), and is compatible with the existing telephone system, thereby reducing the need for additional investment by customers. In addition, enterprise users can also use Huaweis IP-PBX to join Lync conferences, which facilitates communication and exchange to significantly improve work efficiency. 

 

Yi Zhiquan, General Manager of Huaweis UC Products, said: "The successful interconnection between Huaweis IP-PBX and Microsoft Lync showcases the excellent features of Huaweis UC products on convergence and openness, and further enhances the joint competitiveness of Huawei and Lync. Such interoperability applications will enrich the service offerings for UC customers and deliver better service experience to customers."

 

Huawei is a leading systems provider in the Unified Communications (UC) domain and provides an extensive range of solutions to global customers.

 

Huawei Showcases Enhanced Performance Solution for LTE TDD

Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, recently showcased its enhanced performance solutions for LTE TDD. These solutions include Adaptive Beamforming, Adaptive Inter Cell Interference Cancellation (aICIC) and Coordinated Multiple Points (CoMP) technologies, which improve LTE TDD edge user-download speeds by 30% and upload speeds by 10%.

It is predicted that there will be more than 50,000 LTE TDD sites globally by the end of 2012, and that there will be ten times as many sites in 2014. As LTE TDD continues to rapidly develop worldwide, improving end user experience and controlling operation costs will become critical challenges for operators to face. Huawei’s enhanced performance solutions for network quality improvement are an effective way to help operators solve these challenges.

Aside from TDD’s advantage of asymmetrical download and upload speeds for higher speeds, Huawei’s CoMP solution improves cell edge upload speeds by 10% while aICIC assures the best interference control at the cell edges and Adaptive Beamforming dynamically matches the best multi-antenna mode according to user signal strength. aICIC and Adaptive Beamforming respectively improve connectivity for users at cell edges by 30% and 20%.

Huawei will keep launching network performance improvement solutions to help operators win continuing business successes by improving user experiences.
