CRU’s World Optical Fibre & Cable conference has experienced incredible growth since its launch in 2015. This year the conference, which is again hosted by YOFC, one of the leading manufacturers in the optical communications industry, is returning to the Optical Valley in Wuhan China on the 1-3 November. CRU is expecting over 700 attendees at what has now become established as the world’s premier event for producers of optical fibre and cable. The optical fibre and cable sector is at an interesting crossroads, as the high demand caused by the large scale FTTH deployment around the world is being replaced by new fibre requirements in data-centre network expansion and the arrival of 5G networks.
CRU世界光纤光缆大会自2015年创办以来规模逐年扩大。今年大会再次定址中国武汉光谷，将于11月1-3日隆重召开，光纤及通讯行业领军企业——长飞公司将再次承办此会议。作为世界首屈一指的光纤光缆行业盛会，CRU预计本次大会将迎来700多名与会人员。光纤光缆市场目前正处在微妙的转折点——全球光纤入户大规模部署带来的需求逐渐被数据网的网络扩容和5G网络带来的光纤需求所替代。
“Looking at about 40 years of optical networking history, the current phase might be characterized as the FTTH era,” says Richard Mack, CRU’s leading optical fibre and cable expert. “That is, many telecom operators, especially those in the advanced markets, are building up or already have achieved widespread coverage with FTTH systems. And many of these carriers are firming up plans for the next phase --– the 5G and IoT era,” he explains.
CRU光纤光缆市场首席专家Richard Mack提到“纵观光纤网络40年的发展历程，市场目前可谓处在光纤入户时代，也就是说，众多电信运营商，特别是成熟市场的运营商，正在建设或已经实现光纤入户的大规模覆盖。并且其中许多运营商正为下一阶段——5G和物联网时代的到来制定计划。”
“Some operators are saying they will have full-scale deployments underway in two to three years. This is a huge shift in telecom network capabilities and services. On the manufacturing side, the world’s optical fibre, cable and equipment makers are gearing up for this new era – investing in capacity, developing new products; and working with carriers on new architectures,“ continues Richard.
同时，“有些运营商已表示他们将在未来两到三年内实现全网覆盖。这将为电信网络承载能力和服务方面带来重大变革。从生产角度来看，全球光纤、光缆以及设备制造商纷纷在为新时代的到来做充分准备——投资新产能，开发新产品；与运营商合作建设新设施等。”
With the world on the brink of a major new era in information and communications technology, CRU and YOFC are structuring the programme for the 3rd World Optical Fibre & Cable Conference to focus on the major developments in optical network concepts, product requirements and manufacturing capacity. Over three days, participants will have the opportunity to explore how the quickly evolving global telecoms industry will impact optical fibre and cable trade flows. The event also boasts a large exhibition with all of the latest technologies and services that are disrupting the entire supply chain.
随着世界信息与通讯科技新纪元的到来，CRU与长飞公司也将把第三届世界光纤光缆大会的主要议程放在光纤网络概念、产品需求及生产能力的重大变革等议题上。三天的大会将使与会人员有机会了解快速发展的全球电信产业对光纤光缆贸易流有何影响。同时大会还设立了展览区，为您展示给整个供应链带来重大变革的最新技术及服务。
Wuhan’s Optical Valley is the perfect place to gain a first-hand understanding of optical fibre and cable trends. China is taking a lead role in many of these developments. According to CRU’s analysis, in 2016 China accounted for 57% of the world’s fibre installations, 61% of the world’s optical cable production, and 63% of the world’s fibre production. As of year-end 2016, China also had 57% of the world’s FTTx subscribers and 941 million broadband mobile subscribers. “This role in the world market reflects substantial investment, driven by strong commitments to broadband service and to high-tech manufacturing,” said Richard.
中国是行业发展的先锋，武汉光谷也是了解光纤光缆行业最新发展趋势的不二之选。CRU分析显示，2016年中国光纤安装量占世界安装总量的57%，光缆产量占世界61%，光纤产量占世界63%。截至2016年底，中国光纤入户的用户数量占世界总量的57%，此外，中国拥有9.41亿个移动宽带用户。Richard表示“中国在全球市场的这一地位恰恰反映了其致力于宽带服务和高科技生产的坚定决心，也以此吸引了大量的投资。”
CRU’s World Optical Fibre & Cable conference will highlight developments in China and other advanced telecom markets to show fibre’s role in the new era. Don’t miss the opportunity to join the most important fibre optic and cable event of the year.
本届CRU世界光纤光缆大会将重点探讨中国以及其他成熟电信市场的最新发展动向，以及光纤在行业发展新纪元中的重要地位。光纤光缆行业年度盛会，举世瞩目，不容错过！
