The development of China's optical device industry is incomplete

FTTH (Fiber To the Home) is the ultimate solution for fixed-line access to the “last mile”, and the industry has continued to focus on and study it. Since the advent of the first practical optical fiber, it has undergone changes in several generations of optical fibers, optical cables, optical devices, and optical equipment. The development time of more than thirty years is the foundation for the maturity and scale of the current FTTH application. Following the relevant calls and plans of the “Triple Network Integration” issued by the State Council at the beginning of the year, seven ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Science and Technology, jointly promoted “fiber optic broadband” and expanded coverage. The requirements for large bandwidth and multi-services have been put forward. At present, the universal copper access can no longer meet the needs of the rapid development of domestic informatization at present or in the future. The construction of large-scale FTTH in China is imperative.

Optical splitters are most widely used in the FTTH access mode, especially in ODN networks. Optical splitters are an important part of the optical splitters. Currently, ODN series solution providers have enriched their upstream and downstream product lines. The production of optical splitters and other devices, but also companies through the acquisition of ways to improve the product line in this area, we can see the importance of various companies for optical splitters.

Capacity expansion Tibetan risk <br> <br> the past two years the global optical components market has maintained a good growth momentum, according to OVUM for the second quarter of this year optical components market research report, the global optical components market in the second quarter reduced Two percentage points was the first recession in two years. Related consultants said that the global optical device market revenue fell to 1.55 billion US dollars, mainly due to fierce market competition and price pressures.

From the perspective of the global market, the main growth points of the optical device market come from China, India, Brazil and other places, while Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States have slowed down due to the wave of optical fiber construction or the financial crisis. As far as the domestic market is concerned, although the optical device market has a better growth potential driven by the construction of FTTx, the report from OVUM shows that for the suppliers of optical fiber components, such as Finisar, the expenditure in China The decrease has been mainly due to the slowdown in sales, and the 20% decline in China's fiber network sales has dragged down the performance of the entire Asia-Pacific market.

Some experts said that the development of the PLC optical splitter industry in China has its own problems. Although the market demand is very strong, the potential for expansion of production capacity and supply exceeds demand is also great. In the operators' collective collection, the prices of the optical splitters often appear as “cabbage” prices, which is a portrayal of the current status of this industry.

Core optical device <br> <br> art lacks an optical device showing a specialist manufacturer, PLC optical splitter PLC chip consists of three parts, an optical fiber array coupled to the packaging process, however, only 90% or more domestic manufacturers package in PLC The primary processing stage of fiber optic splitters. Due to the expansion of market demand for optical fiber splitters, device prices have once declined, and the current price of optical fiber splitters has dropped by 40% compared to 2008, while the price of PLC chips has fallen by a small margin. This has led to domestic packaging only. The profitability of the manufacturers of the process has shrunk dramatically.

In addition, the largest market for optical fiber splitters still lies in the once-in-a-year integration of operators, and the three major operators have become the most competitive market for device manufacturers. The collection and collection of this part is similar to the collection and purchase of optical fiber and cable in previous years. Operators attach too much importance to the product price, resulting in the continuous decrease of manufacturers' quotation and ultimately leading to the price of “cabbage”. At present, optical device manufacturers mainly focus on small and medium-sized enterprises. In the low-price competition environment, the living space is gradually shrinking, and the entire industrial environment needs to be optimized.

The main core technologies of optical devices are still being mastered by some companies in Japan, Europe, and the United States. Domestic manufacturers are unable to conduct in-depth research and development in the core chip technology. As a result, the gap with the international mainstream optical device manufacturers continues to widen. Under the harsh industrial environment, some companies are on the verge of Bankruptcy.

Insufficient investment in R & D to support the urgent
<br> <br> from the perspective of the entire industry to analyze, PLC Splitter vulnerable domestic industries, which lies in the lack of core competitiveness, but still few companies will take the initiative in its upstream chip layer Invest in research and development. A cable company official stated that to invest in R&D on PLC chips, the input cost is expected to reach about 100 million yuan, and there is no guarantee for the return period of this investment. After all, there is no domestic accumulation of technology in this area. At the same time, for most domestic private SMEs, a large amount of R&D investment in core technologies has little value in the short term. Lack of strength in this area. At the same time, some device manufacturers stated that due to the continuous shrinking of product profits, companies must control costs to ensure profitability. Under this circumstance, the first to be cut off is R&D investment. The harsh market competition environment does not allow companies to make long-term investments. Investment planning.

Many small and medium-sized enterprises have called for, as the most basic device field of optical communication, the state needs to support the optical device industry to build a sound industrial ecosystem. The practice of many domestic device manufacturers doing their best to fish out is not only detrimental to the company’s own development, but will further aggravate the entire industrial development environment. How to seek the most suitable mode for self-development in the current industrial environment requires deep thinking in the industry.

The large-scale construction of FTTH across the country is a key component of the long-term strategy related to national informatization. Apart from traditional operators and private networks, it also needs the strong support of governments at all levels and related industries to strengthen research and promote industrial development and build a National level strong and stable fiber access network.
