OptiX SuperSite empowers industry and home users with high-speed connectivity through carriers' experience-centric all-optical networks, providing premium private lines for SMEs and optimal E2E experience for home customers.
Enterprise and home broadband services have become new revenue drivers for carriers. In the first three quarters of 2021, the business and home broadband services of China's three major carriers saw double-digit growth, boosting their overall service development.
As enterprises quickly become digitalized, premium optical transmission network (OTN) private lines with low latency, high security, and high reliability have gained popularity among leading enterprise customers. In the first half of 2021, more than 80 carriers worldwide launched OTN enterprise private line products.
Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) also have strong demand for premium OTN private line services. In China, there are large numbers of high-value business buildings in every province. The tens of thousands of business buildings in Guangdong, for example, house more than 7 million SMEs. As enterprises rapidly migrate to cloud, their private lines needs have evolved from supporting basic access to supporting high-quality and high-bandwidth cloud access.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of home networks, leading to strong growth of home broadband services, which are making up increasingly large shares of carrier revenue. Moreover, homes are transforming from centers for entertainment to centers for both entertainment and work. The home broadband market is shifting its sales focus from bandwidth to experience, as consumers are willing to pay a premium for good experience.
To expand the enterprise market, enhance the home broadband experience, and gain momentum for faster and more sustainable growth in enterprise and home broadband markets, carriers must build experience-centric all-optical networks. The networks must deliver wide and fast high-quality private line coverage for SMEs and ensure end-to-end high-quality home broadband experience, as these factors will underpin their long-term growth.
