Recently, '2017 Global Fiber Optic Cable Conference' held in Wuhan, more than 700 guests from nearly 30 countries around the world attended to discuss the future prospects of the optical fiber industry.Jianntong Group CEO Qian Jianlin delivered a keynote speech that the next 5 years, the world Demand for optical fiber will exceed industry expectations and will inject new vitality into the development of the global optical fiber industry.
The next five years the optical fiber industry will usher in massive demand
In September of this year, CRU, the authoritative organization of optical fiber industry, announced the global optical fiber demand forecast in the next five years. The CRU report shows that from 2017 to 2021, Africa and Latin America will lead the market growth. The CAGR of China's optical fiber demand will be 0.7% Which is 2.8% globally, and CRU predicts a sustained increase in market demand due to 366 million core kilometers of global fiber shipments in 2016, which will give the industry a dividend.
Qian Jianlin is still optimistic about the future development of the optical fiber and cable industry and pointed out that at the policy level, China's 'network powerhouse' strategy will inevitably bring about a new round of infrastructure construction such as power grids, information and logistics, etc. Meanwhile, , The communications infrastructure in the policy is still good, 2016 to 2018 three years the country will invest 1.2 trillion yuan to build high-speed optical fiber network.In addition, China's 5G has entered the test phase, '5G, Internet of things, data center The new generation of applications such as Internet +, smart manufacturing, 8K HD video, VR, driverless, artificial intelligence will trigger the massive demand for fiber.
Qian Jianlin further emphasized at today's 'Roundtable Forum' that due to the high growth of optical fiber in the next 5 years, the production capacity of optical fiber preform is still not enough, and the expansion will take several years and the new production capacity will be added Market demand to digest.In order to seize market opportunities, prosperous continue to increase investment in optical fiber industry, which led to the continuous improvement of performance, its listed company Hengtong photoelectric the first three quarters of this year to achieve revenue of 19.023 billion yuan, an increase of 41.40%; net Profit 1.676 billion yuan, an increase of 59.48%; total assets of 270 billion yuan, an increase of 36.86%.
Hengtong: layout of innovative business in advance
Qianlong said that for the future, Hengtong has taken the whole industry chain into consideration and expanded more valuable space. In addition, it has conducted a series of innovative layouts around the optical fiber industry chain: "To the optical communications industry Develop at both ends to create a full value chain integrated service provider. "Customer" as the center, relying on big data cloud service platform, to provide all kinds of professional and personalized wisdom application solutions for government and enterprise customers and household households. Large wisdom application business; focus on fiber optic cable products, engineering services, broadband access investment; acquisition of excellent network technology layout big data platform, the future will also build industry electricity supplier data, smart community cloud service platform and charging network big data management platform.
Development of system solutions based on a series of integrated products and applications for marine communications and power transmission that cover areas such as transoceanic communications, offshore oil platforms, offshore wind power, underwater observatory networking, rivers and lakes hydroecology networks and the like It is worth mentioning that Hengtong has now become one of China's leading service providers of marine communications products and systems solutions.
Entered the field of quantum confidential communications. Hengtong has launched five series of quantum confidential communications products, construction of the Ning Su Quantum Trunk (Jiangsu Province, the first quantum confidential communication trunk line), Suzhou Quantum and Quantum (Jiangsu Province, the first financial quantum line), Kunming, High-tech Zone Quantum Government Network (Southwest's first quantum government network) and is responsible for operations, communications and Internet information security escort.
The depth of the layout of 5G and the Internet of Things. The future will be all-Internet society, based on the information network, will achieve the entire family, the entire community highly intelligent. Hengtong through the acquisition of Xi'an King trillion information technology, fully tap the potential market demand, and constantly develop related products , And launched a comprehensive solution to the wisdom of the community, and gradually promote the realization of a larger connection.
Qian Jianlin stressed that innovation is the source of power for the development of the enterprise and now Hengtong has invested billions of dollars in R & D investment each year to form a large number of innovative achievements with independent intellectual property rights.
