Keynote Speech by Fan Zhiwen, Vice President of FiberHome

Fan Zhiwen, Vice President of FiberHome, delivered the opening speech as the organizer representative. He stated that communication networks act as the core information artery of digital economy and strategic infrastructure in computing era. With the large‑scale deployment of AIGC represented by ChatGPT, computing demands surge sharply, bringing new challenges to bandwidth, capacity and transmission reach of underlying optical transmission networks.

Faced with new demands of computing networks, optical communication enterprises and academic institutions must deepen industry‑university‑research collaboration, integrate technology, talent and platform resources to jointly tackle core technologies of "three ultra" optical transmission, and build a sustainable industrial ecosystem of intelligent optical communications.

Fan Zhiwen mentioned that FiberHome will take technological innovation as core strategy, increase investment in cutting‑edge optical communication R&D, open innovation cooperation platforms, and cooperate with upstream & downstream industrial partners to break through key core components and system technologies, unlocking industrial value of new‑generation intelligent optical networks.
