2017/12/20:Next Generation Optical Transport Network Development Forum (NGOF) was established in Beijing yesterday. This forum claims to be                                                                               China'sfirst optical transport network full industrial chain cooperation organization.

      After nearly half a century of development, China's optical communications industry has made remarkable achievements. According to the data obtained from this conference, the market share of optical fiber and cable enterprises in China has accounted for half of the global market. In terms of optical equipment, the share of Shanghai Bell in ZTE is close to half of that in the world, and some of the world's leading companies have emerged in optical devices . It is on this background that the founding of NGOF demonstrates the achievements of China's optical communications development on the one hand and on the other hand it points the way for the future development of China's optical communications.

   The "New Generation Optical Transport Network Development Forum" consists of 14 units including China Telecom, China Unicom, ICT, Huawei, ZTE, Fiberhome, Shanghai Nokia Bell, Hisense Broadband, Brilliance Technology, Finisar, Lumentum, Microsemi, Broadcom and Shanghai Cambridge Jointly initiated by the Ministry of Industry and Communications Technology Commission executive vice director, China Telecom Science and Technology Wei Leping served as chairman, vice president of ICT Wang Zhiqin, China Telecom General Manager He Zhiqiang, China Unicom Network Technology Research Institute Chief Scientist Tang Xiong Yan, etc. director.
      During the speech delivered by the General Assembly, Wei pointed out that this is a conference to be carried forward from the past to present. The industry elites gathered together to discuss the future of optical communications and promote the development of industries. When the optical communications ushered in a new key node, NGOF was actually established The next 50 years of optical communications are looking for directions. The goal of NGOF is to create an open industry-wide platform where operators, research institutes, equipment vendors, device vendors and chipmakers work together to closely cooperate in such fields as standards, technological innovation, implementation verification and application to promote light Transport network from the technical needs to the commercial landing changes.

       Dr. Junjie Li, Director of Forum Office and Director of Optical Communication Research Center of Beijing Research Institute of China Telecom, pointed out that the forum will set up a working group to establish a sound operational mechanism to speed up the standardization process, promote new technology verification and interoperability testing, support commercial pilot applications and sample points Project, from the practical point of view of work results, speed up the optical transport network technology solutions from the scene needs to the commercial landing process. He pointed out that the Forum's value for the industrial chain lies in "accurate planning, promoting innovation, accelerating the landing and demonstrating lead." Through the collaboration of the whole industry chain, we can objectively and accurately understand the real needs of the new generation of network construction; speed up the promotion of technological innovation by sharing resources, pooling wisdom, and accelerating technological innovation through the application of traction technology, prototype development, equipment verification and interconnection Technology to application transformation; enhance Chinese enterprises in the optical network industry's global technology and industry leadership. Representatives of Huawei Technologies also pointed out in his speech that Huawei is willing to unite the forces of industry with members of the Forum and the entire industrial chain to promote the development of the industry and lead the development of the optical transport network in the world.
       Forum set up the first metro optical module, cloud & green line carrying and 5G carrying three working groups, three working group leaders - China Unicom Network Research Institute Zhang He, China ICT Institute Dr. Zhao Wenyu and Dr. Li Junjie were The working group of each working group was introduced at the meeting. One of the fast light on behalf of the report in the field of optical modules 25Gbps optical module talked about the technology, challenges and motivation.
