Recently, the 2024 Shanghai Science and Technology Awards officially unveiled its list of distinguished winners. Sino-Telecom Technology Co., Inc. (Sino-Telecom) has been honored with the Second Class Prize of Shanghai Science and Technology Progress Award for its independently developed innovative metro WDM system, highly recognized for its cutting-edge technology and proven industrial application value. As a top-tier scientific and technological accolade in China, this award firmly affirms Sino-Telecom’s leadership in optical communication R&D, product innovation and global computing infrastructure support, further consolidating its competitive edge in the global optical transmission and data center interconnection (DCI) market.
The Shanghai Science and Technology Progress Award is a rigorous, highly selective honor, dedicated to recognizing organizations and projects that drive remarkable technological innovation, achievement commercialization and industrial upgrading. Sino-Telecom’s victory not only validates the technical breakthroughs and practicality of its metro WDM system, but also reflects the company’s keen insight into global digital economy and computing network trends, as well as its professional capability to deliver high-performance optical transmission solutions for global customers.
Fueled by the rapid expansion of global cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and cross-border digital services, the demand for high-speed, high-bandwidth, low-latency and ultra-reliable data transmission keeps surging. As the core backbone of global data and computing power circulation, data center interconnection (DCI) has long been plagued by pain points including limited transmission capacity, high deployment costs, complicated O&M and insufficient cross-regional adaptability. Targeting these universal demands of the global market, Sino-Telecom has developed its innovative DCI-BOX to break through DCI transmission bottlenecks, and build a stable, efficient transmission artery for global computing collaboration.
Powered by the award-winning core technology, Sino-Telecom’s DCI Data Center Interconnection System achieves multiple key technological breakthroughs, featuring high performance, reliability and global adaptability. Leveraging advanced dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) technology, it greatly enhances single-fiber transmission capacity and spectral efficiency, readily meeting the ultra-high bandwidth and low-latency requirements of cross-regional and cross-border DCI. With a modular, high-density and low-power design, it reduces equipment room space occupation and energy consumption costs, adapting to diverse global deployment environments. Equipped with an intelligent O&M platform, it enables real-time link monitoring, rapid fault location and flexible service scheduling, simplifying operation and maintenance for global customers. Compared with international counterparts, this DCI-BOX solution stands out for excellent compatibility, quick deployment and cost-effectiveness, catering to global carriers, cloud providers, large enterprises, financial institutions and other clients. The company’s DCI-BOX series has reached cumulative shipments of over 100,000 PCS.
Market Deployment & Global Application Achievements
Differing from pure laboratory research achievements, Sino-Telecom’s DCI-BOX has realized large-scale commercial deployment backed by its award-winning technology, winning wide recognition from global customers. Up to now, the solution has been applied in key global scenarios: carrier metro backbone network upgrades, cross-regional interconnection for international enterprise data centers, global computing hub construction and cross-border financial data transmission. It has landed a number of benchmark projects in key digital economy regions including Asia and Europe, with broad potential for global expansion. During stable operation, the system guarantees efficient and secure data transmission, helps customers cut down network construction and O&M costs, improve cross-regional computing scheduling efficiency, and has earned high praise from international clients, showing strong global competitiveness and scalable promotion value.
Sino-Telecom has long upheld the philosophy of independent innovation, technology-driven and market-oriented development, continuously increasing R&D investment, assembling professional technical teams and establishing a complete independent intellectual property system. Focusing on the global optical communication and computing transmission market, the company speeds up the transformation of core technologies into practical application value. This award and large-scale DCI-BOX commercial deployment serve as strong testimony to its dual success in technological innovation and global market expansion.
This science and technology award marks a crucial milestone in Sino-Telecom’s development journey. Going forward, the company will take this achievement as a starting point to further focus on cutting-edge global optical communication and computing network technologies, continuously optimize and upgrade DCI-BOX and other core solutions, break through key core technologies, and launch more products tailored to global market demands. Sino-Telecom will also accelerate global market layout, deepen cooperation with international customers and partners, support the building of a stable and efficient global digital infrastructure, and contribute to the high-quality development of the global optical communication and digital economy industry.
