The 39th Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (GITEX) Technology Week took place from 6 to 10 October at Dubai World Trade Center. GITEX is the biggest exhibition of communication and information technology in the Middle East. The GITEX 2019 highlights emerging technology areas such as 5G, AI, future travel, and smart life. As the global leading supplier of optical preforms, optical fibres, optical cables and the integrated solution provider, Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Joint Stock Limited Company (YOFC) (Stock Code: 601869.SH, 06869.HK) has made a wonderful appearance at GITEX 2019, showcasing various solutions of 5G, FTTx and data centers and relevant accessory products.

5G Solutions: Boosting the Opening of Internet of Everything

The future has arrived. 5G technology is leading a new round of development in high-speed communication. To suit the growth of greater bandwidth demanded by 5G network deployment, YOFC has exhibited a wide range of optical fibre and cable solutions covering various scenarios, such as novel optical fibres, micro ducts and micro cables, high-density miniaturized optical cables, remote optical cables, and photoelectric composite fibres, which are available for the global market. All of these solutions and products have been applied to the network construction in China and abroad, fully highlighting the expertise of YOFC in the field of 5G communication fibres and cables.

Beyond that, YOFC showed at its booth a number of models of 25G/100G high-speed industrial-grade optical modules and small-sized EDFA modules used for 5G data transmission, as well as the solutions containing a full range of optical modules and passive modules.

FTTx: Enabling the E2E General Contracting Scheme

In the FTTx section, YOFC has demonstrated a general contracting scheme integrating professional network planning and design, diverse engineering programs, and customizable optical network accessory products. Qualified with excellent product/program planning abilities and rich experience in overseas projects, YOFC has offered FTTx suitable for diversified overseas market demands. In addition, YOFC has showcased a complete set of optical fibres covering various deployment scenarios such as pipeline, overhead, air-blown, micro-trench and direct burying scenarios in the exhibition. YOFC also shared with visiting customers the product application cases in more than ten countries including China, Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar and Peru, which aroused great interest of many customers and was highly recognized.

Data Centers: Guaranteeing Reliable Connections for Data Transmission

To suit the explosive growth of data transmission volumes inside data centers, YOFC has brought to market high-quality OM3/OM4/OM5 series of multi-mode optical fibre products, offering a variety of fibre connection options. With advanced manufacturing capabilities, YOFC also provides high-density optical distribution frames, modules, panels, trunk cables and patch cords. All these features of YOFC guarantee 40G/100G smooth upgrades for data centers.

In addition, YOFC delivers 10G/25G/40G/100G optical module series, as well as 40G to 400G AOC, providing optimum solutions for fast storage and exchange of data center signals.

Consumer Electronics: "Invisible" HDMI AOC

Optical fibres have been increasingly used in home applications, in addition to the applications in information networks. In this exhibition, YOFC specially showcased the HDMI 2.0 wire, which is a model of FIBBR Crystal series suitable for smart home. Featuring a friendly crystal appearance, this model delivers a wiring effect of approximate invisibility and maximally integrates with home furniture. Supporting a transmission bandwidth of 18 Gbps, this model features light weight, small size, high adaptability, one-way transmission, and plug and play. FIBBR Crystal series not only suit the increasingly plentiful transmission scenarios of high-resolution data signals but also integrate with various decorations.

This trip to GITEX is a valuable practice for YOFC to actively respond to the national the Belt and Road Initiative and to accelerate the global industrial layout and global branding. Adhering to the mission of "Smart Link  Better Life", YOFC will continue to explore the international market, deepen the extensive cooperation with customers in a wide range of products and services, and be dedicated to the construction of optical communications on the Silk Road in the new era.
