Changjiang Daily, June 7 - with the deployment of global 5G network, from cloud data center to personal computer, smart phone and Internet of things terminal, traditional copper wire transmission can no longer meet the current information transmission volume. "Optical communication" is the ultimate solution to this problem, and optical module is the most important part of optical communication equipment. On May 24, Huagong Zhengyuan, a core subsidiary of HGTECH, announced that the 400G optical module products applied in the next generation data center have realized a full series of batch shipments.
It is understood that in the whole optical communication industry chain, optical module is the most important part of optical communication equipment. The function of the optical module is to convert the electrical signal of the equipment into an optical signal at the transmitting end and restore the optical signal into an electrical signal at the receiving end. With an annual production capacity of more than 30 million optical modules, Huagong Zhengyuan has grown into one of the largest optical module manufacturers in the world.
When it was established 20 years ago, no one thought that HGTECH could go so far“ At that time, after the double blow of the financial crisis and the optical communication bubble, the development of enterprises was rugged. But with the relentless strength of independent innovation, enterprises in 2008 received bulk orders from 2.5G optical modules of important customers, and sales increased significantly, and gradually broke through. Hu Changfei, general manager of Huagong Zhengyuan, introduced that when Huagong Zhengyuan became the first enterprise in China to obtain orders for Huawei 5G optical modules, many people were still inquiring about this born enterprise.
"Only by mastering the key core technologies can we get rid of homogeneous competition and occupy an advantage in the upstream and downstream competition of the industrial chain in the face of crisis." Looking back 20 years ago, as a school run enterprise with an annual turnover of less than 80 million yuan, Ma Xinqiang said that HGTECH advanced the layout of optical modules. At the beginning of its establishment, Huagong technology put forward a goal: to represent national competitiveness and have international competitiveness, it must grow on itself as long as its real skills, and constantly trace its source to the upstream of the industrial chain with higher added value.
Starting from a beam of light, the completely independent industrial chain of optical connection and wireless connection business of HGTECH with information and communication technology as an important support has gradually become clear. In addition to the optical module, the optical chip, the core device of the optical module, has also been self-developed by Huagong technology through internal entrepreneurship and the introduction of international experts. Elite optoelectronics, initiated by HGTECH and international technical expert team, achieved mass production of 10G Optical chips in 2019. At present, mass production of 25G optical chips has been completed. In addition to supplying Huagong Zhengyuan downstream, it has independently entered the market and harvested giant orders.
