In his "7.1" speech, general secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the new journey should be based on a new stage of development, complete, accurate and comprehensive implementation of the new development concept, build a new development pattern, and promote the development of high quality. The Ninth Plenary Session of the eleventh provincial Party committee proposed to accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system dominated by advanced manufacturing industry, and put forward specific tasks - cultivating and expanding 5 trillion pillar industries, 10 500 billion advantageous industries and 20 100 billion characteristic industrial clusters.
Compared with the trillion industries with large size and solid foundation, the 100 billion industries are more inclined to strategic emerging industries with great growth potential. They are the new force of Hubei's economic development. From today on, this station will launch a series of reports "decoding 51020 · running 100 billion Legion". First, let's look at the optical communication industry.
Optical communication industry: upgrading from "most complete" to "independent and controllable"
Hubei Province's optical communication can represent China to participate in the global competition and form an international leading advantage. It has cultivated core enterprises such as China's information technology, Changfei and HGTECH. The most distinctive feature of this industry is "riding the wind and waves and forging ahead bravely". It has created many of the most in the country: the country's largest optical fiber and cable production base, the country's largest optoelectronic device production base The largest R & D base of optical communication technology in China; In addition, it has realized 560t high-capacity optical transmission technology for the first time in China, developed and manufactured the first 32-layer three-dimensional flash memory chip in China, born the first 100g commercial silicon optical chip in China, mastered the first independent intellectual property right of the whole submarine cable industry chain in China, and participated in the formulation of international 5g standards on behalf of China... In 2020, the scale of optical communication industry in Hubei Province will approach 100 billion yuan. By 2023, This figure should strive to reach 150 billion yuan. The road of 100 billion yuan is not a smooth road. How to "ride the wind and waves" in Hubei, let's see the report.
Layout high-end fields and participate in international competition
Reporter Liang Rui: "this is a data center. What is it used for? Usually, when we brush videos and shop on the Internet, we will produce a large amount of data, so we need the data center to store and calculate. This is the server of the data center. The stronger its ability, the smoother our network will be, and the core component that determines its speed is the optical module connected to this optical fiber. "
At present, the domestic data center is upgrading from 100G to 400G, which is a trillion level market cake for optical communication enterprises. Last month, HGTECH announced that the 400G optical module products independently developed by the enterprise have realized a full series of batch shipments, which makes Huagong technology stand a foothold in the field of high-end optical modules.
Hu Changfei, general manager of optical communication business of HGTECH : "from our single channel 10G, 25G to 50G, to the current multi-channel 100G, 200G, 400G, 800G, and even we are developing 1.6T. For this product, our technical planning must have our plans for the next 3 to 5 years to lead the next generation and the next generation of this product."
Break through the "neck" technology to realize the independent and controllable supply chain
Optical communication is one of the few fields in which Hubei can participate in the global competition on behalf of China and form an international leading advantage. How can Hubei continue to move forward in the strong competition with international giants? In addition to leading in cutting-edge technology, the autonomy and controllability of the supply chain is also the key. In optical module enterprises such as Junheng technology and lightfast technology, the localization of core equipment has been put on the agenda. This optical module automatic detection equipment is independently developed by HGTECH.
Zhang Tianming, new product introduction engineer of HGTECH : "because you buy some other standard equipment, you need the process to cooperate with the equipment. There may be many constraints. The equipment independently developed by the optical module manufacturing workshop of our data center can reach more than 70%, which can improve the understanding of the process and make sufficient preparations for the sustainability of delivery."
According to the plan, by 2023, the scale of the province's optical communication industry will strive to reach 150 billion yuan. To achieve this goal, there is still a hard bone to bite in the industrial chain - the independent control of high-end chips. In HGTECH, the optical modules used for 5G and data centers use foreign chips, but now, the enterprise has found a breakthrough - silicon optical chips.
Zhou qiugui, technical director of silicon light of HGTECH : "the domestic silicon light keeps up with the international advanced level, which may mean that the gap of 1 to 2 years, in my opinion, is a opportunity to overtake on the curve."
On this new track, a number of Hubei enterprises are sparing no effort to catch up and surpass. The first 100G commercial silicon optical chip in China was born in China Information Technology Co., Ltd; Recently, the 400G silicon optical chip of HGTECH has also been successfully streamed. It is expected that the sample of 800G silicon optical chip will also come out next year.
Zhou qiugui, silicon optical technology director of HGTECH: "if we replace the imported chips of 400G optical modules with our domestic silicon optical chips, the material cost of our whole module can be saved by 15%
With the "neck" technology of important links being tackled one by one, Hubei's optical communication industry chain is upgrading from "the most complete" to "independent and controllable". In the future, Hubei will also build a national optical communication open process platform, break through a number of key technologies, accelerate the integration of industrial chain and innovation chain, and make great strides towards the goal of 100 billion yuan!
