China Telecom Guangdong has used equipment from Huawei to launch China's first smart home management platform for home Wi-Fi services.
The operator is using Huawei's SmartWi-Fi solution to launch a platform consisting of Huawei smart gateways and dual-band APIs to provide high-quality broadband services.
The SmartWi-Fi solution supports cloud based operations and management to address a variety of problems such as Wi-Fi signal conflict, poor coverage, low access rates and the difficulty in finding and addressing Wi-Fi faults.
Users will be provided with different home networking schemes according to the characteristics of their homes. For large houses, Ethernet, Wi-Fi or G.hn access points are used based on indoor cable routing to form networks with full Wi-Fi coverage.
"Guangdong Telecom aims to build optimal home broadband and provide users with ubiquitous high-speed Wi-Fi. By using Huawei's SmartWi-Fi solution, Guangdong Telecom removes Wi-Fi dead zones in homes, so that users can enjoy super-fast broadband access anywhere in their homes,” China Telecom Guangdong GM for network operation Liu Zhijun said.
“Additionally, through the cloud-based management platform, Guangdong Telecom can resolve faults remotely, greatly reducing home visits, improving O&M efficiency, and reducing O&M costs. Guangdong Telecom will continue to work with Huawei to innovate in the broadband field and build high-quality broadband for users."
