Huawei’s Next-Generation ISP Network
Promotes Digital Economic Development
in the Philippines
Challenges
»» Major devices on the live network have reached End Of Service (EOS), key nodes are not protected, and network
reliability cannot be guaranteed.
»» Multiple networks coexist with insufficient professionals to manage and maintain the entire network, leading to
high operational as well as management costs and low efficiency.
»» As market competition increases, the company, Converge, faces many challenges in protecting existing investments
while achieving continuous, rapid profitable growth.
Solution
Huawei’s next-generation ISP solution builds an intelligent, ultra-broadband, and simplified network to meet the
requirements of Converge for service development and network evolution.
»» The FTTx solution builds ultra-broadband converged access capabilities and meets the customer’s requirements
for both legacy cable reconstruction and new optical network construction, protecting existing investments.
»» IP + Optical synergy achieves fast service provisioning. The core router provides 1 Tbit/s large-capacity line cards
which can smoothly scale to 2 Tbit/s, meeting service requirements for larger bandwidth.
»» Advantages include unified access in multiple scenarios, converged transmission for multiple services, and
centralized management for the entire network enable quick service provisioning and efficient O&M.
»» Huawei’s professional consulting team helps Converge develop a dedicated solution for network construction over
the next three years and outline a future-oriented service plan to ensure ongoing profitable growth.
Customer Benefits
»» The end-to-end solution for the entire network meets current service requirements and supports long-term
network evolution, helping the customer achieve quicker profitability.
»» The solution achieves efficient O&M and simplified management, greatly reducing OPEX.
»» Converge’s customized three-year service and network plan meets the requirements of network expansion and
rapid service growth for the next 3 to 5 years.

onverge is an ICT industry leader in the Philippines and a premium service provider for multimedia access.
Converge’s business covers the Central Luzon, National Capital Region, Southern Luzon, and other areas.
Challenges
»» Major devices on the live network have reached EOS, key nodes are not protected, and network reliability
cannot be guaranteed.
»» Multiple networks coexist with a lack of professionals to manage and maintain the entire network, leading to
high operation and management costs, low efficiency, and difficulty in evolution.
»» As market competition increases, Converge faces many challenges in protecting existing investments while
achieving continuous, rapid profitability.
Solution
»» The FTTx solution builds ultra-broadband converged access capabilities and meets the customer’s
requirements for both legacy cable reconstruction and new optical network construction, protecting existing
investments.
Huawei’s next-generation access platform with a distributed architecture — MA5800 — features ultra-broadband,
convergence, and smooth upgrades, helping the customer build ultra-broadband converged access capabilities.
For the existing cable installations, the Distributed Converged Cable Access Platform (D-CCAP) Solution provides
the best 10G converged platform as well as optimal DOCSIS 3.1 performance and video IP evolution capabilities
to help the customer quickly reconstruct existing resources, improve user experiences, and protect existing
investments. For the new network rollout, the FTTH solution provides gigabit access to ensure optimal user
experiences with highly efficient deployment to help the customer achieve rapid market growth.
»» IP + Optical synergy achieves fast service provisioning. The core router provides 1 Tbit/s large-capacity line
cards which can smoothly scale to 2 Tbit/s, meeting service requirements for larger bandwidth.
IP + Optical synergy implements cross-layer integration for network resources, automatic cross-domain
topology discovery, simplified O&M, and service deployment in minutes. The slot bandwidth for the NE40E MAN
core router can be smoothly upgraded to 2 Tbit/s, meeting continuous service growth requirements.

ISP
»» Advantages include unified access in multiple scenarios, converged transmission of multiple services, and
centralized management for the entire network to enable quick service provisioning and efficient O&M.
Users can access the network with Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) , IPoE, dial-up, private
lines, wired, and wireless modes, with support for five authentication modes, to implement unified access for
users over the entire network. A Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC) 2.0 network is constructed at the IP layer to
implement converged transmission for multiple services. The Huawei iManager U2000 Northbound interface
centrally manages and maintains the entire network, supports one-click configuration and automated FTTx
service provisioning, enabling quick service provisioning with efficient O&M.
»» Huawei’s professional consulting team helps Converge develop a dedicated solution for network construction
over the next three years while outlining a future-oriented service plan to ensure continuous profitable growth.
After fully understanding Converge’s current network situation and future plans, Huawei’s professional
consulting team helps Converge develop a customized solution for network construction over the next three
years, improve competitiveness by resolving service pain points, and outline a future-oriented service plan.
Customer Benefits
»» Fast profitable growth: The end-to-end solution for the entire network meets current service requirements and
supports long-term smooth network evolution.
»» Efficient O&M: Multiple networks are integrated into one, achieving efficient Operations and Maintenance (O&M)
and easy management and greatly reducing Operating Expenses (OPEX).
»» Strategic planning: Converge’s custom three-year service and network plan meets requirements for network
expansion and rapid service growth over the next 3 to 5 years.
Future Plan
Within the next three years, Converge plans to expand the reach of its broadband service from certain areas to the
whole country and occupy one-third of the broadband access market in the Philippines.
