Huawei and STC Group Reach 2.4 Terabits per Second in Optical Communication Speed, Establishing a Record Globally
In a groundbreaking development, the stc group, a leading digital enabler, has successfully trialled an ultra-high-speed optical solution in collaboration with Huawei. This solution, using Huawei’s OptiX OSN 9800 K12 platform, can achieve a single-fiber capacity of 96 terabits per second (Tbps), marking a significant leap in data transmission speeds.
For the first time globally, the stc group has deployed this cutting-edge solution, delivering data transmission speeds of 2.4 terabits per second (Tbps) per port. This innovation addresses the escalating demands of advanced digital services over the next decade, supporting Saudi Arabia's fast-moving digital transformation.
This advancement is crucial for Saudi Arabia's digital economy. It lays a foundational infrastructure for the Kingdom's ambition to become a global digital hub, addressing surging data needs of data-intensive industries and advanced computing applications. The solution also supports service providers, cloud operators, and government sectors in managing massive, complex traffic efficiently.
Regarding data security, the trial incorporates Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology, offering unbreakable encryption. This ensures the highest level of protection for critical government and financial sector information, safeguarding against emerging cybersecurity threats in the digital era.
Additional technical benefits include intelligent automation, enabling day-level service provisioning and real-time fiber performance monitoring. The innovations also progress towards Level 4 self-healing network capabilities, which help manage sudden traffic surges effectively and reduce service deployment cycles by over 70%.
This collaboration between stc group and Huawei continues to set a global benchmark for connectivity, security, and operational excellence. It is not just a technological milestone but also a significant step towards enhancing security through QKD, positioning Saudi Arabia strongly in the global digital transformation landscape.
Moreover, this collaboration enables industries, businesses, and communities to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world, fostering growth and innovation in the digital economy. This partnership is indeed a testament to the power of collaboration in driving technological advancements and shaping the future of digital connectivity.
