The international telecommunications giant vigorously promote plastic optical fiber for telecom
There are indications that the international telecommunications giant and the major operators is increasing the intensity and pace of the plastic optical fiber applications in the future home network and Internet communications.
In November 2003, Japan Nakagawa with NEC, Sony, Tokyo Electric Power, Toshiba, Nippon Signal, Matsushita Electric and other companies set up "VLCC"(Visible Light Communications Consortium).In 2007, Japanese plastic optical fiber cabling standards were introduced.
Foreign plastic optical fiber systems and different from domestic. The developed countries are large companies or government departments directly involved in the standards and application of plastic optical fiber.
In Europe, Swisscom to do part of its IPTV promotion install OptoLockВ interface between home gateways and set-top boxes. Ethernet plastic optical fiber adapter with OptoLockВ by France Telecom in his customer base. The plastic optical networking products in Portugal Telecom, the Telefonica, the Telecom Italia, Telekom Austria pilot project or field experiments.
Plastic optical fiber interface OptoLockВ that Motorola designed its next generation set-top box platform. At the same time, Cisco and French Thomson Corporation are also implant the interface in the project, and will OptoLockВ transceiver implanted into each of the major equipment providers a new set-top boxes and home gateways.
The United States, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT & T) was completed in May 2010 experiments on plastic optical fiber (POF) applications in the IPTV, the next step is to do the plastic optical fiber demonstration project in the 350 unit multi-dwelling units and 50 family housing.
Plastic fiber optic system applications is becoming a global topic.Plastic fiber optic system applications started late in China , but it ushered in a best time. At the same time, the Chinese market is the world's largest market.In June 2010, the "Father of Fiber Optics" Mr. Zhao Zisen said: "the characteristics of plastic optical fiber makes it have to replace the Category V or Wi-Fi capability, but also help operators to create an end-to-end all-optical network, to achieve the home environmentwithin the triple play. " However, he also pointed out that the plastic optical fiber market remains to be nurtured, including technical standards, market demand, industry chain collaboration.
