On August 23, 2024, at the 8th Future Network Development Conference held at the Shangqinhuai International Cultural Exchange Center in Nanjing, Sino-Telecom Technology Co., Inc. was honored with the Leading Scientific and Technological Achievement Award in Future Networks for its independently developed "High-Reliability, Large-Capacity, Open-Decoupling, New-Generation Metropolitan Wavelength Division Multiplexing System." This accolade once again highlights Sino-Telecom's technological strength and leading position in innovation within the field of optical communication.

The 8th Future Network Development Conference, an important event for the future industry, was hosted by the Nanjing Municipal People's Government and co-organized by Zijinshan Laboratory, the China Institute of Communications, and other units. With the theme "Networking the World, Deciding the Future," the conference attracted top experts, industry elites, and government representatives from the global network communication field to discuss the innovation and development paths of cutting-edge technologies such as future networks, computing power networks, deterministic networks, 6G, artificial intelligence, and industrial internet.

The award-winning project from Sino-Telecom, the "High-Reliability, Large-Capacity, Open-Decoupling, New-Generation Metropolitan Wavelength Division Multiplexing System," is an innovative outcome that was developed over several years in response to the urgent needs for upgrading metropolitan network architectures, open interconnection of data centers, and efficient transmission of computing power for the "East Data West Computing" initiative. The system demonstrates strong technical support capabilities in the fields of metropolitan network transformation, data center interconnection, and edge computing, making a significant contribution to the advancement of future network technologies.

The highlights of the system include:
1. High Reliability: Advanced redundancy design and fault self-healing mechanisms ensure stable network operation even under extreme conditions.
2. Large-Capacity Transmission: The use of advanced modulation techniques and efficient spectrum utilization solutions achieve ultra-large capacity transmission of 400G or 800G per wavelength.
3. Open Decoupling: Supports open decoupling between the optical and electrical layers, allowing users to flexibly configure network architectures, reduce operational costs, and enhance network scalability.
4. Intelligent Management: Integrated intelligent control functions enable dynamic allocation and intelligent scheduling of network resources, improving operational efficiency.

Currently, the system has been widely applied by major telecommunications operators such as China Telecom and China Unicom, and has won widespread market recognition for its strong adaptability and stability. Looking ahead, as national strategies like "East Data West Computing" are further implemented and new applications such as AI and big data continue to emerge, the system will play an increasingly important role in data center interconnection, metropolitan network transformation, and edge computing, continuously driving innovation and development in future network technologies.

Sino-Telecom's receipt of the Leading Scientific and Technological Achievement Award in Future Networks is not only a high affirmation of the company's technical strength and innovation capabilities but also a strong incentive for the company to continue promoting technological innovation in the fields of optical communication and network security. In the future, Sino-Telecom will continue to adhere to the concept of open decoupling in network development, work hand in hand with partners, and contribute to building a safer, more efficient, and intelligent future network.
