On May 17, the 2023 Global Optical Fiber and Cable Conference opened in Wuhan, Jiangcheng. The conference, co-hosted by the Asia-Pacific Optical Fiber and Cable Industry Association (APC) and Fiberhome Communications, has received strong support from governments at all levels. At the same time, it also invited the heads of institutions in China and dignitaries from many countries to attend, as well as well-known scholars and experts in the industry. , representatives of global operators, and leaders of communication companies participated in this event.
Wen Ku, chairman of the China Communications Standards Association, mentioned in his speech that optical fiber and cable are an important carrier of information and communication transmission, and one of the foundations of the information base of the digital economy, playing an irreplaceable and fundamental strategic role. In the era of digital transformation, it is necessary to continue to strengthen the construction of gigabit optical fiber networks, deepen international industrial cooperation, jointly formulate global unified standards, continue to promote innovation in the optical fiber and cable industry, and help the high-quality development of the digital economy.
Today is the 54th World Telecommunication Day. In order to implement the new development concept of innovation, collaboration, greenness and openness, Fiberhome and APC Association invited partners in the optical communication industry chain to participate and witness with the participation and witness of leaders at all levels of the government and industry The initiative is aimed at establishing and maintaining a healthy global optical communication industry ecology, extensively developing cooperation and exchanges with international organizations related to the optical fiber and cable industry, empowering the development of a digital society, and making industrial achievements benefit all mankind.
In the keynote report session of the opening ceremony, Wu Hequan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Yu Shaohua, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Edwin Ligot, assistant secretary of the Philippine Department of Communications, representative of the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society of Thailand, Hu Manli, supply chain management center of China Mobile Group, chairman of the APC conference/communication technology committee of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Mao Qian, a full-time member of the Standing Committee/Chairman of the Asia-Pacific Optical Communications Committee, conducted an in-depth analysis on optical network development, electronic information engineering technology challenges, international ICT trends and digital economy development, industrial transformation and upgrading, and optical fiber and cable market prospects from the perspective of technology and application. And put forward insights and provide highly instructive suggestions for the development of the industry.
At present, more than 90% of the world’s information is transmitted by optical fibers. In addition to being used for traditional optical communications, optical fibers have also made great achievements in optical fiber sensing, optical fiber energy transmission, and optical fiber lasers, and have become the key foundation of an all-optical society. Materials will surely play a key role in driving digital transformation. Fiberhome Communications will take this conference as an opportunity to continue to join hands with the entire industry chain to jointly establish an open, inclusive and collaborative international industry platform, maintain a healthy optical communication industry ecology, and continuously promote the technological progress and prosperity of the optical communication industry.
