Huawei Has Launched The StarryLink Optical Module, Which Realizes The Best Network Quality Characterized By "3S."

At the Mobile World Congress 2025 (MWC 2025), Huawei introduced the StarryLink optical module, which enhances network experiences with a quality standard referred to as 3S (Spanning, Stable, Secure). This announcement was made during a discussion session focused on data centers, titled "Building New Data Centers in the Intelligent Era." The agenda centered on strategies to accelerate digital transformation. The event attracted over 100 clients and partners from various countries, who explored trends and innovations related to data center networking. 

As artificial intelligence continues to advance rapidly, AI training models have also evolved, now reaching trillions of parameters. This growth necessitates an increase in switching capacity and the evolution of data center switches. To support efficient interconnection among these high-capacity data center switches, optical modules must progress from a single lane of 56 Gbit/s to 112 Gbit/s. However, this transition presents several challenges. 

- Transmission Distance: The expanding data centers require support for longer transmission distances. 

- Reliability: Issues such as optical module failures and fiber contamination are prevalent. 

- Security Systems: Open fiber connections in interconnection rooms pose risks to sensitive data exposure. 

To address these challenges, Huawei's StarryLink optical module provides a high-quality network experience through three key capabilities: 

- Spanning: Huawei optimizes signal power distribution by employing algorithms that integrate unique optical paths, enabling transmission distances to double the industry average. 

- Stable: Huawei's short-range optical return loss positioning technology facilitates rapid detection of faults in optical connections, significantly faster than the industry standard, which typically takes three hours. Additionally, channel loss resistance technology ensures continuous training even during disconnections, enhancing reliability by up to tenfold.
