Huawei’s OptiXaccess MA5800T Smart 10G OLT Series
According to the GlobalData FTTP Competitive Landscape Assessment, Huawei’s OptiXaccess MA5800T Smart 10G OLT Series has the highest overall score.
The 2024 Fibre to the Premise (FTTP) Competitive Landscape Assessment, published by the well-known consulting firm GlobalData, rates and assesses the OLT offerings of five leading international suppliers. In all five dimensions-density/scalability, backplane/system throughput capacity, ONT range, deployment flexibility, and customer and market traction Haier’s OptiXaccess MA5800T smart 10G OLT series (MA5800T series) received the top scores. This demonstrated Huawei’s leadership in the FTTP space and put it at the top of the overall competitiveness rankings.
Huawei 10G smart OLT leading across all dimensions in GlobalData report
GlobalData is an ICT data analysis and consultancy firm that specialises in ICT industry research and offers assessment reports on topics including forecast and product assessments and market research. The Huawei MA5800T series has demonstrated exceptional performance in the following five GlobalData-defined scoring dimensions in its 2024 FTTP assessment:
Scalability and Density
High density and scalability are essential for an OLT. Many 10G users’ access needs are satisfied by Huawei’s MA5800T series, which enables 8-/16-port symmetric/asymmetric triple-mode 50G PON with high-density deployment.
Capacity of Backplane/System Throughput
Upstream and downstream links should be supported by an OLT with adequate capacity. The industry-leading Huawei MA5800T series supports 1 Tbps per slot.
The ONT Range
When FTTP is being deployed, it is critical that an OLT accommodate several ONT models. Strong protection for customers’ live network investments is provided by the Huawei MA5800T series, which supports concurrent access of GPON, 10G PON, and 50G PON ONTs in addition to being able to access users on the live network via GPON and 10G PON.
Flexibility in Deployment
The flexible deployment of various PON technologies and nodes with varying scales should be supported by an OLT. GPON, 10G PON, and 50G PON technologies are all compatible with Huawei’s MA5800T series. Additionally, it maximises return on investment (ROI) by offering an optical power budget of up to 32 dB and facilitating seamless upgrades without requiring the replacement of current ODNs.
Market and Customer Traction
Key score factors in the GlobalData FTTP research included the amount, calibre, and scope of operator cooperation. More operators than any other vendor have tested and implemented the Huawei MA5800T series. Furthermore, it is the only 50G PON OLT available for commercial use at this time.
The first smart OLT platform created for the 10G era in the industry is Huawei’s next-generation OptiXaccess MA5800T smart OLT series. It offers operators and businesses the tools they need to swiftly and effectively implement premium FTTP networks and propels the shift from bandwidth to experience monetisation with its deterministic experience, ultra-large bandwidth, seamless upgrades, and native intelligence.
Huawei MA5800T
The MA5800T multi-service access device is a 10G-era intelligent OLT platform. This OLT platform has more bandwidth and reliability than the one from the previous iteration. It is also smarter and uses less energy.
In addition to supporting several network construction options, such as FTTH and FTTB, the MA5800T provides 50G PON, XG(S)-PON, GPON, and P2P 10 GE/2.5 GE/GE access. It satisfies the needs of multiple service scenarios, including mobile carrier, Wi-Fi hotspot backhaul, enterprise access, and home access, allowing multiple services to be carried by a single fibre network.
By retaining the original optical distribution network (ODN), the MA5800T facilitates the seamless transition from GPON and 10G PON networks to 50G PON networks, thereby safeguarding operators’ O&M investments. It also allows the coexistence of GPON, 10G PON, and 50G PON.
Very Wide Bandwidth:
Backplane switching capability: The device has a 1 Tbit/s backplane switching capability, which may eventually increase to 2 Tbit/s.
Control board forwarding capability: The system control board’s maximum forwarding speed in load sharing mode is 400 Gbit/s.
Deterministic Experience:
E2E hard slicing: network-wide adaption and flexible route selection via VXLAN/SRv6.
Deterministic experience at the application level: unified orchestration of slices across the network, microsecond-level jitter, and millisecond-level latency.
Clock synchronisation with high precision: Accuracy up to ±10ns, satisfying high-value service bearing and mobile backhaul requirements.
