The 26th Annual Meeting of the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) was successfully convened recently, at which CAST officially released the 2023 “Innovation China” series of lists. Sino-Telecom Technology Co., Inc. (Sino-Telecom) has been selected for the 2023 “Innovation China” Pioneer Technology List (Electronic Information Sector) with its independently developed high-speed optical transmission technology featuring ultra-long-haul, ultra-low latency and open & disaggregated architecture. This honor, evaluated and issued by a national authoritative institution, not only highlights Sino-Telecom’s robust technical strength in the optical communication field, but also adds heavyweight authoritative endorsement for the market promotion of the company’s core open optical network products.
Established authoritatively by CAST, the “Innovation China” lists focus on cutting-edge technological research and achievement transformation, excavating benchmark industrial, production and research achievements, and stand as a highly credible sci-tech innovation ranking in China. A total of 230 high-quality projects across four categories were selected this time. Among them, the Pioneer Technology List in the electronic information sector adopts stringent selection standards, gathering top achievements in communications, computing power and other fields. Sino-Telecom’s successful listing by virtue of its self-developed core optical transmission technology is a high recognition from authoritative institutions for the company’s deep cultivation in optical communications and adherence to independent innovation, and also a significant milestone in the company’s development history.
Product Advantages & Large-Scale Application
With the accelerated development of the digital economy and the implementation of the national “East Data, West Computing” strategy, metropolitan area network upgrading, data center interconnection and efficient computing power transmission have become rigid industry demands, while traditional optical transmission technologies fail to meet the transmission requirements of ultra-long-haul and ultra-low latency. Focusing on key industry challenges, Sino-Telecom has overcome multiple technical difficulties through independent R&D and developed the high-speed optical transmission technology with ultra-long-haul, ultra-low latency and open & disaggregated features. This technology is perfectly suitable for point-to-point transmission scenarios, equipped with advantages such as flexible interconnection, high efficiency, security and convenient operation and maintenance (O&M). It can not only meet the demands of data exchange, backup and computing power scheduling among data centers, but also break the barriers of closed architecture of traditional equipment, reduce networking and O&M costs, and provide solid technical support for the construction of computing power networks.
Based on this core technology, Sino-Telecom’s open optical network products (DCI-BOX STN6800-D16) boast prominent advantages, featuring lightweight reliability and cost-effectiveness, adapting to diverse scenarios such as inter-city interconnection, metropolitan and county-town WDM, and possessing strong market adaptability. At present, this DCI-BOX has seen large-scale deployment by mainstream telecom operators, including China Telecom and China Unicom. With its stable performance and high-quality services, it has gained wide recognition from customers and the industry, with cumulative shipments exceeding 100,000 units.
Innovation Achievements & Future Development
This technological achievement has yielded fruitful results, with 40 authorized patents worldwide and 4 software copyrights in total. The company has deeply participated in the formulation of 10 communications industry standards. The technical project has been successively approved and supported by the Major Special Project for Strategic Emerging Industries of Shanghai and the Special Project for Technological Transformation of the Electronic Information Industry granted by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). It has been recognized by the China Institute of Communications as a cutting-edge generic technology reaching the international advanced level, and previously won the Second Prize of the 2023 Shanghai Science and Technology Progress Award, with its strong sci-tech innovation strength recognized by multiple parties.
Being listed on the “Innovation China” Pioneer Technology List is not only an honor for Sino-Telecom, but also a driving force for its forward progress. As a sci-tech innovation enterprise focusing on the optical communication field, Sino-Telecom has always taken independent innovation as the core, focusing on industry technological breakthroughs and product optimization. In the future, the company will continue to increase R&D investment, deeply cultivate the fields of high-speed optical transmission and open optical networks, continuously iterate technologies and upgrade products, and further expand diversified application scenarios. Relying on high-quality open optical network products, the company will help address key industry transmission challenges, empower the construction of digital economy and computing power networks, and boost the high-quality development of China’s optical communication industry.
