Assist in strengthening the foundation and solidifying the foundation! The fiber optic cable industr

In 2021, the communication industry delivered an excellent answer, the whole industry maintained a stable and good operation trend, the scale of new infrastructure users expanded rapidly, mobile Internet traffic maintained rapid growth, network infrastructure continued to evolve and upgrade, and the eastern, central and western regions coordinated development.

In terms of data, throughout 2021, over 650000 new 5G base stations were built, with 355 million 5G mobile phone users and an investment of 184.9 billion yuan in 5G; The total number of broadband access users reached 536 million, with a net increase of 52.24 million for the year. Among them, users with access speeds of gigabit and above were 34.56 million, with a net increase of 28.16 million for the year. The total number of rural broadband users in China reached 158 million, with a net increase of 15.81 million for the year.

2021 is a crucial year for the continuous evolution and upgrading of network infrastructure, with a total length of 3.19 million kilometers of newly built optical cable lines and a total length of 54.88 million kilometers of optical cable lines nationwide; Among them, the length of long-distance optical cable lines, local network relay optical cable lines, and access network optical cable lines reached 1.126 million, 18.74 million, and 35.02 million kilometers respectively, with a net increase of 2.97 million kilometers in the length of access network optical cable lines compared to the previous year. The number of Internet broadband access ports reached 1018 million, a net increase of 71.8 million. Among them, the number of fiber optic access (FTTH/O) ports reached 960 million, a net increase of 80.17 million, accounting for 94.3% from 93% at the end of last year.

From the above data, it is not difficult to find that in 2021, the communication industry has performed outstandingly in terms of user scale and network coverage promotion. This also indicates that for the communication industry, 2021 will continue to strengthen its foundation and solidify its foundation, laying a solid foundation for the further acceleration and development of the industry in 2022.

2021: "Strong Foundation"&"Solid Foundation"

2021 is the first year of the 14th Five Year Plan, and it is also a year of continuous implementation of the "strong foundation" and "solid foundation" policies. Whether it is the "14th Five Year Plan" for the development of the information and communication industry or advocating for dual gigabit coordinated development, it is emphasized to strengthen the construction of network infrastructure.

At present, China's information infrastructure has reached a global leading level: the "Broadband China" strategy has been fully realized, and a new generation of information infrastructure that is high-speed, mobile, secure, and ubiquitous has been built. And 2021 is undoubtedly a year to further enhance the level of information infrastructure. The dual gigabit era has arrived, and 5G construction has made rapid progress, gradually putting F5G construction on the agenda. Strengthening the construction of 5G networks and gigabit optical networks, enriching application scenarios, has become an important goal. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has also repeatedly emphasized the need to accelerate the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G, gigabit fiber optic networks, and data centers in accordance with national deployment.

In 2021, the national level once proposed that "infrastructure construction needs to be moderately advanced". As an important part of "new infrastructure", information infrastructure represented by 5G, Internet of Things, industrial Internet, satellite Internet, etc. has attracted much attention. "moderately advanced infrastructure construction" is also applicable to information infrastructure construction, and the most critical point is 5G infrastructure network construction. Building a moderately advanced 5G network is not only in line with national policies, but also in line with the needs of the times.

In fact, in the first year of the 14th Five Year Plan, from the national level to operators, and then to the fiber optic cable, equipment, and device industries, all have been continuously contributing to strengthening network infrastructure construction. Operators are committed to promoting the coordinated development of dual gigabit network construction, and fiber optic cable, equipment, and device enterprises are providing higher quality products for information infrastructure construction.

China is committed to building the world's leading 5G network. The construction of information infrastructure is the top priority, and the optical fiber foundation is the foundation of the foundation. So we see the continuous growth of new optical cable lines and the increasing number of Internet broadband access ports. The fiber optic cable industry has gone through more than 40 years of development, providing impetus for the realization of "Broadband China", the rapid development of the communication industry, and the promotion of information infrastructure construction.

In 2021, the "strong foundation" and "solid foundation" of information infrastructure construction have once again solidified the foundation for the future development of the communication industry, while also bringing impetus to the development of related industries, and the fiber optic cable industry is one of them. In 2022, the communication industry will set sail under the promotion of dual gigabit, industrial Internet, Internet of Things, etc., and the fiber optic cable industry will follow suit.

2022: Setting Sail

The 14th Five Year Plan for the Development of the Information and Communication Industry, launched in 2021, has provided impetus for the communication industry to sail far. By 2025, the cumulative investment in information and communication infrastructure will reach 3.7 trillion yuan, and the new generation of communication network infrastructure will be fully deployed, including the comprehensive promotion of 5G network construction, the comprehensive deployment of gigabit fiber optic networks, and the continuous promotion of backbone network evolution and service capacity upgrading; Promote the breadth and depth coverage of rural fiber optic and 4G networks.

Targeting rural and remote areas with conditions and needs, we will gradually promote the construction of gigabit fiber optic networks, accelerate the use of low-frequency 5G network coverage in rural areas, and achieve an administrative village 5G access rate of 80% by 2025.

The planning for the construction of the new generation of information and communication infrastructure will once again sound the horn for the advancement of the communication industry, and the entire industry chain will gather and be ready for deployment. This means that the optical network needs to complete expansion and upgrading, which means that the construction of fiber optic infrastructure will enter an accelerated period. The dual gigabit has set sail, followed by rapid propulsion.

Fiber optic cables, as an important part of the construction of the new generation of information and communication infrastructure, not only undertake important missions, but are also crucial. In the first year of the 14th Five Year Plan for strengthening the foundation and consolidating the foundation, the fiber optic cable industry has benefited from the continuous promotion of network construction and is beginning to develop well. The third round of growth cycle predicted by the industry may be approaching.

In 2022, the construction of 5G and F5G will be rapidly advancing again, and the fiber optic cable industry will provide strong support. We can see that fiber optic cable enterprises are constantly striving to enrich product categories, improve product quality, improve production processes, and enhance technological content, providing reliable guarantees for the construction of optical networks. At the same time, we can also see that the construction of information networks has also promoted the development of the fiber optic cable industry. In 2022, when the communication industry sets sail, the fiber optic cable industry will also take advantage of the east wind and take another step forward.
