China Stands Among World Top in Optical Communication Technology

Optical communication has seen the fastest development in the world. With its performing functions doubled on average every nine months and price reduced by half, its development speed has already exceeded one fold that of computer chip which doubles per 18 months.

The speedy advancement of optical communication technology has offered an opportunity for a vigorous development in the communication field. The great achievements made by China in this aspect has made known to the world that Chinese people have the ability to equip the expressway of the information era with first-rate equipment - the optical transmission network.

On entering into the 1990s, China's information industry has geared into a prime age of a sustainable development at a high speed, becoming a promising spotlight in high-tech industry, and standing out of which is the most brilliant star - the optical communication.

Up to now, the optical communication in China has already been on a par with the world advanced level in so far as the scale of the network and the level of advancement in equipment or technology application. Taking the industry as a whole, China's optical communication is very close to the rim of the world advanced level, able to keep pace with the trend of the world.

Due to huge market demands and an ample space for development, China's optical communication market has almost attracted all famous manufacturers in this field from all over the world, and it has rendered China the center of the industry on the globe.

With the vigorous growth of the communication business, the traditional transmission network has failed to provide enough capacity to meet the great needs of the users for the network. The coming generation of optical communication products is becoming a realistic choice of operators in this field. To this end, Chinese manufactures of optical communication equipment have launched in time such relevant products, which are able to meet the needs of the market for the products. For example the high-speed routers, series of optic-interchange connection equipment, BWS series 320 G, DWDM and others, it has thus won the initiative both in technology and market shares.

China's optical communication industry is heading for a large capacity to achieve a faster speed. Let the technology become a driving force of the communication technology of the 21st century in China.
