YOFC Showcases AI Innovations at MWC Barcelona 2025

On March 3, 2025, the global communications and technology community gathered in Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025. Among the exhibition's highlights was Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Joint Stock Limited Company (YOFC), which presented its visionary theme, "Leading a New Future With Fibre." The event served as a platform for YOFC to unveil a range of pioneering products and solutions across five main categories: 5G Advanced Connectivity, AI Intelligent Computing Center, Internet of Energy, Intelligent Traffic, and Enjoy Digital Life.

5G and Beyond: The Optical Framework for Connectivity

As the demands for 5G Advanced and 6G technologies continue to evolve, YOFC made significant strides by introducing its G.654.E optical fibre. This advanced fibre is recognized for its ultra-high-speed capabilities and long-distance transmission strength. Moreover, YOFC showcased the versatile GenBand optical fibre, suitable for various applications in backbone, metropolitan, and access networks, alongside high-end multi-mode optical fibres designed to enhance data center performance.

The G.654.E fibre is particularly distinguished within the industry due to its large effective area and low attenuation coeficient, making it the preferred choice for emerging ultra-high-speed transmission technologies. YOFC has led the charge in G.654.E fibre technology development for over a decade, successfully deploying this innovative fibre in major telecommunications projects worldwide, including key partnerships with Chinese carriers and operators in countries such as the Philippines and Brazil.

To illustrate its commitment to advancing optical communication technology, YOFC unveiled two groundbreaking products during the event:

• - EasyBand® Plus-Mini 173μm Fibre: This innovative fibre features a smaller outer diameter while maintaining bending insensitivity, optimizing pipeline resource utilization for urban upgrades.
• - MaxBand® OM4 Pro Fibre: Specifically engineered for single-channel 100G transceivers, this product effectively mitigates signal degradation caused by wavelength shifts in optical modules, ensuring seamless transitions in data center connectivity to higher speeds like 400G and 800G.

Smart Computing Infrastructure for AI

Addressing the needs of AI data centers, YOFC introduced its Smart Computing Solution. This solution integrates cutting-edge optical fibres, including hollow core, multi-core, and high-quality multimode options. Coupled with 400G/800G optical modules, these innovations emphasize both enhanced processing capacity and sustainability. Hollow core fibre, recognized as a game-changer in next-gen optical communication, can decrease transmission delays by approximately 34% compared to traditional solid fibres, enabling high-performance channels for intelligent computing networks.

Marine and Submarine Communications for Sustainability

YOFC's exhibition also highlighted a comprehensive lineup of submarine fibre optic cables, specifically engineered to withstand various underwater conditions. With capabilities to reach depths of up to 8,000 meters, these cables serve essential roles in enhancing marine communication solutions while promoting sustainability. Furthermore, YOFC displayed submarine photoelectric composite cables designed for efficient high-power energy transmission essential for the development of wind farms and other renewable energy sources.

Reimagining Intelligent Vehicles and Urban Transportation

Introducing the concept of the "all-optical intelligent vehicle," YOFC presented a solution aimed at enhancing vehicle intelligence, safety, and energy efficiency while minimizing maintenance costs. This development incorporates various high-tech features, including advanced fibreoptic communication and LiDAR technology. Additionally, urban rail transport solutions showcased during the congress aim to address Wi-Fi coverage challenges, ensuring seamless communication across rail networks.

FTTx Solutions for Enhanced Connectivity

The FTTx solutions presented by YOFC encompass an extensive array of optical fibres and equipment that facilitate rapid deployment of fibre access networks. Promoting next-generation FTTR (Fibre to the Room) technology allows seamless 10 Gbps bandwidth to reach every corner of homes and enterprises, catering to various demands, such as ultra-HD streaming and cloud applications.

By pushing forward the narrative of optical communication into a holistic ecosystem, YOFC's Executive Director and President, Zhuang Dan, emphasizes the company's mission to drive sustainable growth while advancing technological boundaries. The commitment to transforming optical fibre from a mere transmission channel to an enabler of intelligent ecosystems is shaping a new standard in the digital landscape, aligning with YOFC's vision of "Smart Link Better Life."

This pioneering initiative at MWC Barcelona 2025 illustrates YOFC's dedication to innovation, customer-centric solutions, and collaborative growth within the global optical communication framework.
