For example, 4K/8K live streaming, VR service, and home office require sufficient bandwidth. Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 7, and Huawei’s iFTTR F50 solution, can help carriers expand Wi-Fi coverage and explore business opportunities for gigabit smart home. So, the gigabit transition is also an opportunity for the future.

Amid the continuous growth of network speeds and Internet services, many diversified application scenarios like home office and live streaming emerge. In LATAM, the growth of the live streaming economy and rider economy intuitively showcases the business potential of optical broadband for carriers in new scenarios. Huawei is willing to explore innovative business models and provide services that better meet users’ personalized requirements with carriers.
