Introduction: Optical communication network test and measurement instruments have the opportunity to share the tremendous development opportunities brought about by the optical fiber revolution. The proportion of localization in this market is expected to increase rapidly. Due to the high technical threshold of the market, the company has a severe test of technology accumulation, R&D investment, etc. Ultimately, only companies with leading technology, leading scale, and leading service can win out.

The “optical fiber revolution” brings users the best communication experience at the current stage. The emerging business model based on light and innovative applications are changing people’s lives. At the same time, the entire industry chain including optical communication network test and measurement instruments has the opportunity to share. The scale effect of this great transformation.

With the improvement of the technical level of domestic optical communication manufacturers, the proportion of domestically produced market is expected to increase rapidly. What is more noteworthy is that at the high-end device level, domestic manufacturers are also aggressive, setting off an evolutionary wave of local brand optical communication products, and making important contributions to operators in accelerating the transition to full-service operations and reducing deployment and operating costs.

Broadband access significantly

China's optical communication industry has been rapidly recovering from the collapse of the bubble in the early 21st century and has passed a curve. In recent years, there has been a new round of development driven by multiple factors such as the country’s high attention to broadband strategy, operators’ overall business development and development, 3G construction boom, FTTx (fiber access) scale deployment, triple play convergence, and backbone network evolution to 100G. The industry boom. According to CCID Consulting's data, China's optical communications market has reached 40.5 billion yuan in 2010, and it is expected that this number will reach 55.4 billion yuan by 2013.

The rapid development of optical fiber broadband access has become the most crucial pulling factor in the current development of the optical communications market. According to the analysis of the Institute of Communications and Information Research of the Institute of Telecommunications of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, the total investment scale of China's telecommunications industry will reach 2 trillion yuan, of which broadband investment accounts for about 80% of the total investment. On the other hand, brokers also conducted data analysis on the scale of the FTTx industry over the past decade. The conclusions are optimistic, as shown in the table.

As the support of various links in the optical communication industry chain, testing instruments and test systems are also gradually expanding along with the development of the entire industry. According to statistics from the Communication Network Operation and Maintenance Committee of the China Communications Enterprise Association, the market capacity of China's communications instruments reached 1.55 billion yuan in 2010. This year will increase to 3.56 billion yuan.

Domestic instruments take the initiative
Due to historical reasons, our country started late in the development of optical communication technology. Most of the optical communication core patent technologies have been mastered by foreign optical communication related companies that started earlier. Initially, China's optical network construction deployment and related testing equipment must be imported from abroad, resulting in extremely high construction costs.
