Interoperability between devices of different manufacturers is a key factor that needs to be considered by customers during network planning and reconstruction. If devices of different vendors cannot interoperate with each other well, customers will incur unnecessary costs and the complexity of network management will increase. This will limit the reconstruction and smooth evolution of networks. The interoperability of vendor devices helps customers greatly simplify network planning, promotes the development of end-to-end services such as one which is related to gpupdate /force, and improves network maintenance efficiency. It also ensures that customers can quickly introduce advanced technologies for service innovation, improving the overall service competitiveness of customers and ensuring that the network value is maximized for end users.

Huawei enterprise campus switches and WLAN devices provide industry-leading network interoperability. The devices are able to interwork with those of other mainstream vendors in the industry in different scenarios to ensure networks run stably. This helps customers smoothly upgrade their networks and protects customer investment. Behind the countless successful projects lies the hard work Huawei has put into the interoperability of its devices.

Customer-centricity and Interoperability, Protecting Customer Investment

A particular Japanese internet service provider (ISP) mainly offers services such as voice, broadband, and cloud services. With the development of its services, the enterprise’s original network could not meet service development requirements and was in urgent need of an upgrade to its core switches to improve the capacity of its data centers. To ensure the long-term development of services, the enterprise decided to implement core upgrades on its data center network. New core switches must be able to interwork with the existing switches. After strict testing by the company’s IT department, Huawei S12700 series switches met the interoperation requirements. The switches could interoperate with protocols running on the live network switches and could form a new data center network with the live network switches. This greatly improved the core network performance to ensure that end users receive high-quality services and that the competitiveness of the company was improved significantly.

To better serve customers and to improve service quality, a century-old Italian electrical appliance retailer built a new WLAN network. Huawei was chosen as its Wi-Fi supplier to provide Wi-Fi services to its 120 stores. In addition, the Italian professional Wi-Fi data analysis platform FreeLuna was used as the marketing analysis platform. Huawei’s WLAN network successfully interconnected with the FreeLuna data analysis platform to provide information such as location based services (LBS) to form the basis of Big Data analysis. This helped the customer optimize their product portfolio and shelf distribution, supported applications such as advertisement push, and implemented online and offline omni-channel marketing.

Offering Openness and Interoperability, and Creating a Network Ecosystem—Mainstream Vendors Cooperate to Add Value to Customer Networks 

To better implement interoperation, Huawei established a joint lab that is aimed at achieving a better network ecosystem and helping customers reuse the network or implement capacity expansion and upgrade solutions. Huawei has achieved the following:

✦ Interoperability with Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols on devices from mainstream vendors, such as Cisco, HPE and Juniper;

✦ Compatibility with eight certified servers such as Cisco ISE, HPE’s ClearPass, third-party FreeRADIUS, Srun, and IMC;

✦ Huawei’s devices can be managed by network management systems of third-parties such as SolarWinds, IBM, and IMC, and ForeScout;

✦ Interconnection with over 300 terminal models such as those from industry mainstream manufacturers of IP phones (Cisco, Avaya, and Polycom), and access points (APs);

✦ In addition, Huawei has built an ecosystem with over 50 mainstream vendors in various industries, such as Walkbase, Cloud4wi, Enjoyer, and Sense Technology. This helps customers add value to their network and innovate new services.

To date, there are over 11.5 million Huawei switches and WLAN products on live networks, serving 1/3 of the world’s population. 90% of these network devices are successfully interworking with devices of other vendors. To ensure the interoperability of Huawei devices, Huawei is the industry’s first vendor to work with the authoritative third-party organizations Tolly and Miercom to carry out interoperation tests.

Protecting customer investment and maximizing the value of customer networks, Huawei will continue to stride forward along the road to openness, interoperability, and ecosystem cooperation.

Samsung users will no doubt be familiar with the clearer, more realistic display on offer with an OLED screen. It’s been a hallmark of devices made by the South Korean manufacturer since the first Galaxy launched back in 2009 (and now features in Google Pixel 2, the new Essential Phone, and a handful of others as well), but iPhone X marks the tech’s debut in Apple’s suite of smartphones.

So how do OLED screens differ from the LCD displays of old, and what will it mean for your smartphone? We’ve got all your questions covered. Read on to find out more…

LCD vs OLED – What’s the difference?

LCD screens (like those found on all other iPhones) are built over a backlight as large as the screen itself. This produces a constant white light that’s filtered through a rapidly-refreshing shutter, resulting in the images you see on screen.

With OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) displays, there’s no need for a backlight. Instead, light is produced by the pixels themselves, as a small amount of organic material fluoresces in response to electrical current.

What’s the advantage of OLED?

One of the most obvious benefits of OLED displays is greater energy efficiency due to the lack of a power-hungry backlight. This reduced energy consumption, which, coupled with the increased oomph provided by Apple’s new A11 Bionic processor, is great news for would-be iPhone X owners looking to power through all the latest AR-enabled apps and games.

Creating light within each and every pixel also enables light to be shut off completely or adjusted pixel-by-pixel rather than covered up by a shutter to create ‘true blacks’, increase colour accuracy and provide greater contrast for more vibrant images. In other words? If something on an OLED screen is meant to be black, it’ll be really, really black. This also allows for features like ‘always on’ displays (for showing the time, date and notifications) that don’t sap too much power.

Another advantage of OLED is more space. Without the need for a backlight, manufacturers can create thinner devices or make room for other innovative components.

Then, of course, there’s flexibility. Bezels are being dropped like hot potatoes as OLED enables curved displays for phones that appear to be ‘all-screen’. This is evident in iPhone X, with its 5.8-inch Super Retina screen.

Are there any drawbacks?

Despite just being adopted by Apple, OLED is not new tech. And the biggest challenge affecting early versions concerned the material used to produce blue light.

In the early days, blue light degraded at a much faster rate than other hues, disrupting the colour balance and reducing brightness. In fact, OLED displays are still thought to have a shorter lifespan than LCD, but this is no longer as significant as it once was thanks to advancements in the requisite tech.

Nowadays, the biggest concern for OLED is burn-in. This tends to occur when the same icon or image is left on the screen for a long time, leaving a faint impression on the display. However, according to information leaked before the launch of iPhone X, iOS 11 may include software capable of mitigating burn-in, so we could be past that too.

What’s next for smartphone displays?

The fact that Apple has waited this long to implement the technology, and initial impressions from those who’ve tried it, suggest we’re in for the best iPhone display yet. But we know innovation won’t stop with iPhone X. So what is coming next?

With the flexibility of OLED, screens capable of being folded out and rolled up may not be far away. In 2016 Lenovo unveiled its concept phone, the Cplus, designed to bend around a user’s wrist like the snap bands of old, while Samsung first showed off its curves back in 2011. However, the closest we’ve seen to date are a few phones with curved edges. Unfortunately, when it comes to completely flexible displays, it’s not just the screens that need to fold. There needs to be development in components too before flexi smartphones are the norm.

Regardless of what’s coming next, we know it’s looking bright and crystal clear. Register your interest in iPhone X today and see the future for yourself!
