Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Joint Stock Ltd.

BARCELONA, Spain, March 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At MWC Barcelona 2026, Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Joint Stock Limited Company (YOFC) presented its end-to-end all-optical solutions, highlighting their role in supporting AI-driven computing, smart mobility, and other data-intensive industry applications.

During the event, YOFC outlined how industries are updating digital infrastructure to support increasingly demanding AI workloads, with solutions spanning AI computing infrastructure and smart mobility. Two flagship applications — AI Intelligent Computing and All-Optical Smart Vehicles — illustrated how YOFC's all-optical technologies are being deployed in real-world settings and deliver tangible operational value.

As a global provider of optical communications technologies, YOFC demonstrated how it is integrating AI with all-optical transmission technologies to build a more application-focused solutions portfolio. By highlighting use cases that extend beyond traditional point-to-point transmission, the company described its approach to supporting next-generation digital infrastructure — a central focus of its MWC 2026 showcase.

YOFC also presented its AI Intelligent Computing Center Solution, designed for hyperscale and high-performance computing environments. The solution brings together advanced optical technologies, including hollow-core fibre and multi-core fibre, along with four core components: premium multimode fibre, 400G/800G high-speed optical transceivers, and energy-efficient cabling systems. Built to support high-density computing connectivity and efficient data transmission, the solution incorporates energy-efficiency considerations, helping data centers optimize power consumption and reduce operational overhead. The system architecture is designed to support large-scale AI computing environments. Hollow-core fibre delivers signal transmission speeds approximately 47% faster than conventional fibre, while reducing latency by around 31%. YOFC's proprietary hollow-core fibre, featuring a "supporting tube structure," achieves an average attenuation of 0.12 dB/km and a minimum of 0.040 dB/km — well below the 0.14 dB/km theoretical limit of traditional single-mode fibre.

YOFC also showcased its industry-specific fibre-based solutions, including the All-Optical Smart Vehicle system, which was highlighted as a key application. By deploying in-vehicle fibre networks, the platform enables high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity between vehicles, road infrastructure, and cloud platforms, supporting autonomous driving functions and improving overall traffic system efficiency. The solution combines five key technologies, including in-vehicle optical communication, glass side glow fibre, and dedicated fibre solutions for LiDAR signal amplification. This approach supports the transition toward more intelligent vehicle architectures, improves operational safety and reliability, and reduces energy consumption and long-term maintenance requirements, aligning with broader trends in smart mobility.

Beyond these two flagship cases, YOFC displayed all-optical solutions for marine communications, power communications, and smart living, demonstrating end-to-end deployment capabilities across a range of application environments. From supporting AI computing infrastructure and smart mobility systems, to enabling reliable energy communications and consumer-oriented digital services, YOFC's solutions have gained traction across multiple markets. 

Through its MWC 2026 showcase, YOFC summarized its latest all-optical solutions and outlined its priorities for AI-driven optical infrastructure development. Looking ahead, the company plans to further integrate AI with optical communications, expand its solutions portfolio, and support broader adoption of all-optical architectures across a wider range of industry applications. Building on ongoing product development and engineering work, YOFC aims to create long-term industrial value in the AI era and support large-scale digital transformation across multiple sectors.

BARCELONA, Spain, March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At MWC Barcelona 2026, held on March 2, Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Joint Stock Limited Company (YOFC) unveiled its latest innovations under the theme "AI × Fibre Leading an Intelligent Future." The company's exhibition featured dedicated solution zones including the AI Computing Center, Link the Global AI, Empower AI Applications, All Optical Home and the Hollow-Core Fibre VIP Showcase, highlighting end-to-end optical communications solutions and recent technical developments.

The centerpiece of YOFC's showcase was hollow-core fibre, the event's key technology highlight. Compared with traditional solid-core fibre, YOFC's hollow-core fibre reduces transmission latency by approximately 31% and lowers nonlinear effects by nearly three orders of magnitude. This breakthrough meets the high-bandwidth, low-latency demands of large-scale AI model training and distributed computing, while its energy-efficient design supports efficiency and sustainability objectives. With decades of expertise in large-scale fibre manufacturing, YOFC has achieved commercial-scale production of long-length, ultra-low-loss (＜0.1 dB/km) hollow-core fibre, placing it among a small number of companies worldwide with both core technical capability and proven commercialization readiness.

At MWC Barcelona 2026, YOFC showcased a cohesive all-optical ecosystem. The AI Intelligent Computing Center integrates hollow-core fibre with multi-core fibre and 400G/800G optical transceivers to deliver high-efficiency, low-carbon computing infrastructure. The Global AI Network Connectivity solution uses hollow-core fibre, G.654.E fibre, and submarine optical cables to form an intercontinental all-optical network corridor. Meanwhile, YOFC's industry-specific fibre-based solutions extend optical fibre applications into smart transportation, immersive entertainment, and other real-world scenarios, creating an end-to-end ecosystem from core technology to commercial and operational deployment.

Zhuang Dan, Executive Director and President of YOFC, said: "The scaled deployment of hollow-core fibre represents a major step forward for optical communications—from supporting the digital economy to enabling next-generation intelligent networks. We will continue to drive innovation, expanding hollow-core fibre applications in emerging fields such as intelligent computing and quantum communications. Through environmentally responsible manufacturing and our global footprint, we aim to translate technical capability into sustainable growth, building intelligent networks that are low-latency, energy-efficient, and broadly accessible."

Notably, YOFC integrates technological innovation with sustainability across its solutions, embedding low-carbon and energy-efficiency considerations throughout the entire lifecycle—from R&D and production to deployment and application. With its global presence and environmentally responsible manufacturing, YOFC delivers efficient, reliable, and low-carbon optical communications, supporting the long-term development of digital infrastructure worldwide.
