The construction of 5G is inseparable from the optical module, and with the formal commercial use of 5G, the future will drive the substantial growth of the optical module. Over the past few decades, optical modules have grown from 100Mbps/1000Mbps to 40Gbps/100Gbps, and will move to 200Gbps/400G or higher. The construction boom of large data centers, the growth of data traffic and the revolution of network architecture have driven the growth of demand and rate of optical modules, and the whole communication industry is actively developing higher rate optical modules.

Status one: the era of 100G has arrived, and the demand for 100G optical module has increased significantly

4K HD video, live broadcasting, VR and other new applications have promoted the rapid growth of global network traffic, as well as cloud computing, laaS services, big data and other emerging applications have higher requirements for data transmission in data centers. Global data centers have been upgraded from the original 10G/40G to 25G/100G, thus triggering an increase in the demand for 25G/100G optical modules.

To meet the increasing demand for broadband and traffic, HTF can provide professional and comprehensive 100G network upgrade solutions with high density, high rate and high flexibility to ensure long/short distance data transmission.

Status two: 400G heat increase, 400G optical module trend forecast optimistic

With the development of high-speed and large-scale data centers at home and abroad, 400G optical modules are expected to become the next generation upgrade target. It is predicted that the global market size of 100G/200G/400G will reach 6.7 billion us dollars in 2022, and the shipment of 100G/200G/400G optical modules will reach 13 million.

As early as 2018 OFC optometry expo, domestic and foreign suppliers have exhibited 400G optical modules, such as Mellanox, 400Gbps OSFP, QSFP-DD optical modules and AOC, and Intel also demonstrated 400G products. At present, in order to help users deploy 400G in advance, HTF is close to finish the 400G module and 400G transponder. There will be news to share with you.
