Submarine cable: should not be missing the national industry


Submarine optical cable as a contemporary international communication means, bearing includes Internet business, voice services, as well as Multi-National Corporation green business, more than 90% of international communication business, and domestic enterprises in the increasingly important field is not competitive, which requires the industry chain vigilance.
Recently, Lu Xiangdong of vice president of China Mobile Communication Industry Development Forum said: mobile now has the international Internet exit number and mobile enterprise scale is not matched, in order to make up the shortage, China Mobile has taken sharing strategy, " sharpened head and other operators to build the international submarine cable. "
Submarine optical cable as a contemporary international communication means, bearing includes Internet business, voice services, as well as Multi-National Corporation green business, more than 90% of international communication business, is the main carrier of international informatization development.
At present, mobile has less than 50G submarine bandwidth, but the telecommunication has 660G, China Unicom 357G, in the overseas POP point, moving only 2, and Telecom has 13, China Unicom has 10. Mobile Internet export has begun to restrict the development of the internet.
Submarine cable construction lack of discourse right
China Mobile Design Institute of cable deputy director Gao Junshi introduction, China Mobile and there are currently no international telecommunications submarine cable ( hereinafter referred to as " cable " ) resources, existing not to 50G cable broadband belongs entirely to lease.
The lease of the international submarine cable is 60 × 10G system, mobile hired several bands, and the international submarine cable the rental fee is astronomical: each band according to the transmission distance is different, annual rent from tens of millions to billions of yuan ranging. A year 's rent enough mobile participation in the construction of an international submarine cable, but also can greatly save moving expenses. This is a mobile " dying will and other operators to build the international submarine cable " most real power.
In April this year, mobile announced together China Telecom, Japan KDDI operators together to build a new submarine cable, the project total investment of at least $45000000, will be connected regions of Japan, China, Southeast Asia developed area of Taiwan city. Is expected to be completed in 2013.
In theory, a mobile participation in the project, the domestic enterprise may be somewhat benefit. However this is not the case, this project, regardless of is the submarine cable production, or submarine cable construction, even landing section engineering but also by his country construction enterprises, the enterprise of our country did not participate in the nomination, domestic enterprises are other building members veto, reason is no application case.
In fact, in February this year ZTT has worked with the United States a Alaska telephone company submarine cable project signing, became the first successful in developing countries into the international submarine cable market enterprises; at the same time, Huawei Company also repeatedly awarded the international submarine cable submarine cable construction engineering. But the two bid for short distance without relay transit project, bid project is 160 km in length, in the system of relay amplifier; Huawei does not currently have provided the submarine cable repeater amplifier device capabilities, the device is currently in the testing phase.
Some short distance without relay engineering experience, can give the domestic enterprise to provide enough speech to counterpoise, the face of international project, the domestic enterprise present can only slide.
Mature industry chain
" The domestic cable market is too small, the annual demand of only a few hundred kilometers, " the domestic cable field professor of engineers Tao Xinhua is introduced. He said, " the domestic market mostly are military application, hundreds of kilometres of demand is very difficult to support the manufacturer's survival, so the current domestic only 2 ~3 production of cable manufacturers, while providing submarine communications equipment, with the construction of ability is still only a huawei. "
But in some European and American, Japanese enterprise, with Al Carter 's as an example, the submarine cable R & D, production, testing, promotion, and submarine communication 10G, 40G equipment, including construction team have everything that one expects to find. In contrast, our country still has no special submarine cable project research institute, the standard is put forward early Beihai fleet submarine cable construction specifications, manufacturers are unable to provide integrated system.
Tao Xinhua said: " China's optical fiber and cable industry is strong, but the submarine cable industry is very weak. Relative to the terrestrial cable, submarine cable is the main technique index is submarine cable deep-sea water tightness and deep mechanical strength. These two points, our industries, technical indicators or capacity, could not enter the international market. "
