Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Joint Stock Limited Company (“YOFC”), a worldwide pioneer in fiber optic cables and solutions, made a mark at MWC Barcelona 2024 on February 26th. Under the title “Connecting the Future with Fibre”, YOFC showcased its newest fibre optic technologies and discussed the changing digital world. The 2024 MWC Barcelona, themed “Future First”, brought together the digital industry’s elite and innovators to demonstrate their latest technology and discuss our digital future. The future stages of 5G, AIoT, the role of AI that emphasizes the human experience, smart manufacturing, industry standards, and our digital selves were discussed. YOFC’s involvement reinforced its commitment to spearheading the development of digital infrastructure and determining how technology links us all.
AI’s worldwide technology revolution and industrial transformation are changing how we work, live, and learn, ushering in a new era of synergistic human-machine interactions, boundary-less integration, and collaborative creation. From Extended Reality (XR) commerce and glasses-free 3D graphics to digital touch interfaces and integrated systems that mix our living environments and means of travel, this intelligent age is creating new technologies and applications. These advances highlight the need for better internet connections and fewer data transmission delays. High-quality fiber optic networks are needed to link everything, with mobile networks projected to offer 10Gbps with millisecond latency. Our digital infrastructure can enable the next wave of innovation as intelligent services and applications push communication optical fibres to new boundaries for unparalleled capacity, minimum loss, and the lowest latency.
YOFC Executive Director and President ZHUANG Dan recently discussed the company’s reaction to the rising need for high-speed, efficient, and intelligent network infrastructures. The i-Fibre family of intelligent era fibre solutions from YOFC includes ultra-high capacity, little loss, very low latency, integrated sensing, and eco-friendliness. These breakthroughs will strengthen the foundation of an intelligent global infrastructure, allowing the intelligent world’s immense potential.
The low non-linearity and attenuation of YOFC’s next generation trunk fibre, the G.654.E, are its cutting-edge attributes. This fibre supports high bandwidth and low latency across long distances, making it ideal for sophisticated network infrastructures confronting rising data transmission demands in the digital age. It is the preferred fibre for 400G, 800G, and future terabit-per-second transmission technologies. In projects in the Philippines and Brazil, YOFC’s G.654.E fibre has been effectively implemented. It is part of China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom, and State Grid’s network infrastructures. These accomplishments reinforce YOFC’s fibre optics market leadership and demonstrate the company’s impact on global networks.
Using its national critical laboratory for fibre optic cables, YOFC is developing new optical fibres that might change the industry. Mr. Zhuang believes space division multiplexing (SDM) and hollow-core optical fibres are the future of fibre technology.
Multicore and few-mode SDM fibers may enhance communication capacity by 4 to 8 times over standard fibres. YOFC’s mass manufacture of these cutting-edge fibers using unique materials, production methods, and testing equipment sets it distinct. The business has conducted pilot testing with network operators to prove these technologies’ viability and efficiency. In 2023, YOFC, China Mobile Group Design Institute, and China Mobile’s Shandong subsidiary completed the world’s first live network experiment of 4-core and 7-core fibres. The study advances multicore fibre innovation and acceptance, promising to transform telecommunications with its improved capacity and performance.
YOFC’s hollow-core fibre technology guides light using air instead of a glass core. A fiber that transmits data 47% quicker than ordinary fibres reduces latency and improves network performance. A milestone in digital infrastructure, this invention promises to transform data transmission efficiency. YOFC’s capacity to design and manufacture kilometer-length hollow-core anti-resonant fibres solidifies its optical fibre sector leadership.
Since 1988, YOFC has manufactured and supplied over 1 billion kilometers of fiber, driving global communication network building. The corporation has expanded internationally with a worldwide strategy in recent years. President Zhuang has led YOFC toward stronger international participation, utilizing MWC to showcase the company’s technology advances and commitment to global market integration. YOFC attends such high-profile events to demonstrate its technology superiority and commitment to global client demands. Its efforts to bring its cutting-edge i-Fibre technology to every part of the world demonstrate its dedication to bridging the digital divide, making smart connection available to everyone, and ushering in the intelligent age.
