Accelerate Industrial PON “One net to the end”

Jiang Ming introduced that based on the research and development of key technologies, China Telecom has developed some core capabilities. For example, the industrial PON self-service platform provides computing, network, and control integrated management and control self-service entry and scheduling capabilities of deterministic transmission, achieving end-to-end network management and control, multi-form computing power management, and integrated deployment of industrial applications.

Through the integration of intelligent decision-making system and industrial PON edge equipment, it can better meet the needs of industrial control.

In Jiang Ming’s view, the current industrial PON technology continues to mature and improve, can well become a new industrial “double gigabit” network base, will become the core scheme of industry private network connection. In addition to the industrial scene, in education, medical care, parks, cultural tourism, energy and other vertical fields, China Telecom is also carrying out large-scale promotion.

It is understood that China Telecom has carried out many practices based on industrial PON. For example, PON+5G customized network is used as network infrastructure to create a double gigabit smart factory information base, carrying several production lines; Industrial PON edge equipment is used to transform the factory network and improve the industrial data collection capacity. The practice of deterministic capacity to carry industrial control business, the effect is remarkable. At present, the industrial control network integrated with computer and network control is being explored in the laboratory simulation environment.

HEIDENHAIN CC422 Jiang Ming said that the vision of industrial PON is “one net to the end”, hoping that industrial PON can really solve the problems of industrial sites, and has achieved the network carrying capacity of controlling business in industrial networks. In the future, the in-depth integration of industrial field network and control will be further promoted. Based on the new architecture of industrial PON control network, the integration level of computing network and control will be further improved, so that the network is the target of control, and industrial PON will be promoted as the all-optical base of industrial field network.
