Recently, the Asia Pacific Fiber Optic Cable Conference, jointly hosted by CRU (UK Commodity Research Institute) and Changfei Fiber Optic Cable Co., Ltd. (Changfei), was held at the Hilton Hotel in Wuhan Optics Valley. This is the first time that CRU has arranged a global fiber optic cable conference to be held in Asia and China, and it is also its only conference focused on the fiber optic cable market. Guests from government departments, telecommunications operators, equipment manufacturers, industry organizations, and research institutions, along with over 400 representatives from top global industry experts, gathered together to deeply explore the development trend of the Asia Pacific region, especially the Chinese fiber optic cable market. Thanks to the continuous growth of market demand and the continuous improvement of technological innovation capabilities, China will become a research and development center, manufacturing center, sales center, consulting and service center for the global fiber optic cable industry.
Zhuang Dan, Chairman of the Asia Pacific Fiber Optic Cable Conference and President of Changfei Company, stated in his speech that the global fiber optic market is still in its infancy and this conference will be an important event in the history of fiber optic industry development. It is of great significance to promote the implementation of broadband strategies in various countries, promote cooperation and win-win in the optical communication industry chain, and achieve the vigorous development of the fiber optic cable industry. He believes that as long as various institutions in the industry chain work together, double their efforts in innovation, provide better fiber optic products for various applications, and drive the upgrading of the entire industry, it will definitely promote the healthy development of the fiber optic cable market. This will be the common aspiration of the entire industry. Changfei Company is willing to actively make its due contribution in promoting the overall development of the industry.
At the meeting, Wu Suoning, the editor in chief of People‘s Post and Telecommunications News, the authoritative leading media in China‘s communication industry, presided over the peak dialogue session. Leading figures in China‘s five major fiber optic cable enterprises - Zhuang Dan, President of Changfei Fiber Optic Cable Co., Ltd., He Shuping, General Manager of FiberHome Communication Technology Co., Ltd., Qian Jianlin, Chairman of Jiangsu Hengtong Optoelectronics Co., Ltd., and Xiao Wei, Legal Director of Futong Group Xue Chi, President of Zhongtian Technology Group, engaged in a collision of ideas to jointly explore the current development status and prospects of China‘s fiber optic cable market. Zhuang Dan said that informatization construction, the "the Belt and Road" initiative, the "Broadband China" strategy, and "Made in China 2025" will all inject sustained impetus into the development of the industry. Faced with new opportunities given by the times, Chinese optical fiber and cable enterprises need to accelerate the pace of transformation and upgrading, improve their technological innovation capabilities, accelerate the pace of "going global", and play a more important role in the international market.
Currently, driven by multiple factors such as demand, technology, market, and policies, China has become an important global market for fiber optic cables. According to CRU statistics, over half of the world‘s fiber optic cables are produced and sold in China. China has become the manufacturing and marketing center of the global fiber optic cable industry, and will also become a research and development center and a consulting and service center in the future. Given the importance and influence of the Chinese market, CRU announced at this conference that next year‘s CRU Global Conference on Fiber Optic and Cable will also be held in China Optics Valley, and China will become a new platform for global exchange of fiber optic and cable technology and industry.
As one of the organizers of this conference, Changfei Company has always regarded promoting industry development as its responsibility and mission, focusing on the continuous progress of fiber optic technology. In recent years, not only have fruitful achievements been made in conventional communication optical fibers, but also globally leading new optical fiber products such as G.657.B3, ULLG.654, BI-OM4 have been launched, enriching optical fiber applications and driving the overall technological progress of China‘s optical fiber and cable industry. In the future, Changfei Company will work together with various links in the industry chain, exert joint efforts, and lead the Chinese fiber optic cable industry to become the "four centers" of the global cable industry, making new contributions to the glory of the global cable industry.
