To the cutting edge of the optical communication industry｜News regarding joining the optical communication industry forum

In July 2021, Hakusan will actively participate in future industry technology trends and market trends, and will utilize them in our own technology development.
We have joined the OIF (Optical Internetworking Forum), which is a corporate forum (organization) of optical communication.

Established in 1998, this organization discusses elemental technologies for future optical communication standards.
Standards and future technical developments within the industry have been decided.

In addition, the decisions made by OIF are submitted to the international standards bodies IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and ITU (International Telecommunications Union).
It is the basis of international standards.

By joining an organization called OIF, we can understand the latest technology trends in the industry,
It can be used for technology development policies and future business plans.

Recently, in particular, discussions on a new method for optical modules called Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) have become active.
It is said that it will become mainstream in the near future in data centers that require large-scale and high-speed processing.
It is also an area that companies are paying attention to.

Our optical connection parts (MT Ferrule etc.) centered on high-precision injection molding technology,
We will contribute to the future development of the optical communication industry by making use of our knowledge of optical connection technology that we have cultivated over many years.

In addition, our IOWN promotion department is currently working on
We believe that we can make a large contribution, as it will also lead to the "Photonics-Electronics-Convergence" technology, which is the core technology of the IOWN concept.

For the development of the optical communication industry and for those who actually use communication,
We will continue to work together to focus on the optical business.
