Recently, the 2020 5G+ Industrial Internet Conference of China was held in Wuhan. This conference is the first national conference in the field of “5G + Industrial Internet”, with the theme of “ connecting everything by intelligence and creating the future with harmony”, it attracted the participation of many leading companies in information communications and industry，and discussed the development status and future prospects of 5G+ industrial Internet. Zhang Bin, vice president of FiberHome network production line, was invited to attend the conference and made a speech on the theme of "creating all-optical base, assisting new infrastructure" at 5G New Infrastructure Forum.

Optical network moves from behind the scenes to the front, providing sufficient power for industrial Internet

With the continuous increase of macro policies, new infrastructure led by 5G is blooming. As of the latest data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China has built 700,000 5G base stations, accounting for nearly 70% of the global total, and connected more than 180 million terminals. 5G new infrastructure is enabling the whole industry to enter a new stage of development characterized by digital, networked and intelligent. In this new stage, optical network and mobile communication network have been integrated into daily life, and become the infrastructure related to national economy and people's livelihood as water, electricity and gas.

With the evolution and upgrading of network technology, smart optical network and other new-generation network infrastructure have stepped to a new height in enabling the efficient utilization of resources and efficient social operation. Optical network moves from behind the scenes to the front gradually, becomes the strong base of industry's digital transformation. From the "end" to the "cloud", from the physical layer to the network layer of high-speed transmission, it provides ultra-wide capacity connection of industrial machines to any cloud. Through high-speed "capacity", enough power is provided to the industry and new era of the Internet industry is also created.

Identify reliable low-latency networks

Support the digital transformation and upgrading of the whole industry

Enterprise digital transformation and upgrading cannot do without a high-quality basic network. How to make workers work with more dignity and how to transform our blue-collar to white-collar are the questions that traditional factories have been thinking about. Sitting in an air-conditioned office, you can remotely operate the robotic arm to achieve steel extraction; through the AR smart helmet, when a fault is found, it can remotely assist in processing. Smart optical network makes these possible by identifying reliable and low-latency networks. Smart optical network is a service-oriented network. The network provides connections and connection as a service. Through the "differentiated and deterministic" network service capabilities, it provides a reliable and predictable network environment for traditional industries and builds 5G﹢remote control , 5G﹢AR/VR, 5G﹢human-machine collaboration and other complex and multi-scenario intelligent manufacturing systems, to realize the self-perception of the entire process information of the interconnected factory, the self-decision of all-factor events, and the self-iteration of the full-cycle scenario.

Smart optical network connects thousands of industries

Industry collaboration to build a better future

“When a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is coming, it is the natural responsibility of the ICT industry to support the rapid development of the digital economy and empower thousands of industries, and the emergence of the ‘smart optical network’ provides necessary assistance for this. Smart optical network is the core technology that supports the digital transformation of the industry. We should build consensus, coordinate the industry, continuously stimulate innovation, release the value of data, and promote the acceleration of the industry's digital and intelligent process. " Vice President Zhang Bin concluded.
