For nearly 20 years of deep engagement in the communication sector, a prestigious honor has shone like a beacon guiding the innovation journey of Shanghai Sino-Telecom Technology Co. Inc. — In 2017, the company was successfully awarded the title of Shanghai Science and Technology Little Giant Enterprise. This heavyweight municipal certification is not only an authoritative recognition of the enterprise’s dedication to its core business and commitment to innovation, but also transformed into a surging driving force, propelling the core product DCI BOX from an embryonic form to maturity, and evolving from an industry follower to a leader in the niche market!
The Shanghai Science and Technology Little Giant Enterprise is one of the highest recognitions in Shanghai for the innovation strength, growth potential and industry value of technology-driven enterprises. Its rigorous evaluation criteria directly target the core requirements of "deeply cultivating niche tracks, mastering core technologies, and possessing sustained innovation capabilities".
Looking back to 2017, Sino-Telecom was standing at a critical juncture of its "network communication + network security" dual-wheel drive strategy. Its core products had already made their mark in the operator market, yet in the strategic track of Data Center Interconnection (DCI), the technical pain points of high bandwidth, low latency and strong compatibility urgently awaited a breakthrough product innovation.
The coronation of the "Science and Technology Little Giant" title acted like a shot in the arm, igniting the R&D team’s passion for tackling challenges. The company converted this recognition into tangible R&D investment (maintaining a high-intensity R&D ratio of over 10% of revenue year-round), assembled a core R&D team led by senior industry experts, doctors and masters, and made the DCI BOX product the key battlefield for technological breakthroughs. From the initial implementation of basic transmission functions to charging towards the technological peaks of "ultra-large bandwidth, ultra-long distance and open disaggregation", every late-night research session, every parameter optimization and every experimental iteration stemmed from the adherence to the "Little Giant’s" innovation mission and the dedication to breaking technical bottlenecks and leading industry development.
Tempered by time, brilliance finally emerges!
Empowered continuously by the glory of the Science and Technology Little Giant, the DCI BOX product has completed an industry-shaking "metamorphosis journey": We broke through the limits of hardware architecture to achieve a 3.6T service access capacity per U height, with a high-density design accurately meeting the core needs of clustered interconnection of data centers; conquered the core technology of coherent optical communication to support 100-kilometer-class unrepeatered transmission, becoming a solid backbone for cross-regional computing power scheduling in the "East Data West Computing" project; pioneered the hardware-software and optical-electrical disaggregation + SDN unified management and control architecture, multiplying service provisioning efficiency and achieving a qualitative leap in fault location speed;our market share has maintained a leading position in the industry, earning deep trust and widespread recognition from global customers with tangible hard power.
From the honorary starting point in 2017 to becoming a core equipment supporting the construction of the digital economy’s computing power network today, the maturity path of the DCI BOX product is a microcosm of Sino-Telecom’s growth driven by honor and centered on innovation. Over eight years, the company has accumulated more than 200 authorized patents and software copyrights, with core technologies fully covering key tracks such as 5G/6G bearer networks and computing power networks. With a cumulative revenue of over 1.6 billion yuan in the past three years, it has fulfilled the responsibilities and obligations of a Science and Technology Little Giant Enterprise through a series of high-quality product achievements and impressive market performance.
Honor illuminates the road ahead, and innovation never stops!
In the future, Sino-Telecom will continue to take the glory of the 2017 "Shanghai Science and Technology Little Giant Enterprise" as its spiritual core, retain the aggressive spirit of tackling challenges, and adhere to the original aspiration of innovation. We will make every recognition an inexhaustible driving force for product iteration and technological breakthroughs, write more breakthrough stories of "from excellence to perfection" in the wave of high-quality development of the communication industry, and inject stronger Sino-Telecom strength into the construction of a Digital China!
