On May 23, '2018 International Photonics Technology and Industry Development Conference' and 'The Fourth China Optical Engineering Society Awards Ceremony' were held in Beijing. Jiangsu Hengtong Fiber Optic Technology Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Hengtong Ocean Optic Network System Co., Ltd. jointly completed The project's 'Key Technology for High-Reliability Ocean Optical Fiber Cables and Complete Equipment' project won the industry's first 'Technology Progress Award' award, fully demonstrating Hengtong's leading position in the field of marine communications and leading capability of cutting-edge science and technology.
It is reported that this year's China Optical Engineering Society’s Science and Technology Innovation Awards were selected by academicians and scholars for multiple rounds of selection, and finally 7 'Technology Invention Awards' and 4 'Science and Technology Progress Awards' were selected. Jiangsu Hengtong Optical Fiber Technology Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Hengtong Ocean Optical Network Systems Co., Ltd. and Soochow University’s “Key Technologies and Complete Equipment for Highly Reliable Marine Fiber Optic Cables” project team took a breakthrough in key core technologies, broke the monopoly of foreign technology, emerged in the international market, received unanimous appreciation from the participating experts, and gained scientific and technological progress. The first prize, Hengtong has also become the only optical fiber industry in China to win this award!
As a global information and energy network service provider, Hengtong has been focusing on technology research and development and system integration in the fields of ocean communications and power transmission. It is a total solution that combines reliable, cost-effective design, production and engineering implementation, leading the development of marine economy. .
The submarine cable is hailed as the 'tip of the pyramid' in the field of optoelectronic transmission. It is acknowledged by various countries that marine optoelectronic transmission products and systems are a large-scale system project with high technical difficulty and wide coverage in the industrial field, but due to historical reasons and high barriers , Marine communications and power engineering have long been monopolized by a small number of overseas companies. In March this year, CCTV’s “Great Power” section focused its lens on prospering Hengtong to build the world’s longest single jointless submarine high-speed fiber optic cable in the Maldives. Connecting the six main islands of the Maldives to promote the Maldives from the 2G era into the 4G era as the entry point, highlighting the case of Hengtong breaking the international monopoly in the field of marine communications and seizing the commanding heights of the industry.
The first prize for scientific and technological progress of the China Optical Engineering Society won the honor of the “Highly Reliable Marine Optical Fiber Cables Key Technology and Complete Equipment” project, which effectively solved the scientific problems in the absence of key materials for marine communications in China, and ensured the construction of national coastal defense, marine economy, Communication safety such as submarine observations satisfies major urgent needs of China's coastal defense, effectively supporting the implementation of the 'Strong Ocean Strategy', and achieving significant economic and social benefits.
It is understood that the China Optical Engineering Society’s Science and Technology Innovation Award is the most important award in the optical engineering industry. It highlights the outstanding contributions and achievements of the optical engineering community in technological innovation, product development, and technological transformation.
