Smart home sets off the plastic optical fiber market!
Plastic optical fiber embodies its value with its unique advantages such as good flexibility, convenient installation, and easy maintenance. However, its market in the communications field has never been opened.
Li Lemin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, once said that some domestic companies have launched 100M plastic optical fiber Ethernet switches and EPON products. The actual operator networks such as telecommunications and broadcasting are operating well, and there are already some national standards and standards for plastic optical fiber communications. Local standards are promulgated.
It seems that "everything is ready, only the east wind is owed", when will the east wind of plastic optical fiber blow? Chen Wei believes that smart home may be this much needed east wind. "The advantage of plastic optical fiber in the communication field is in the market of 100M and above, and the home broadband that can realize the widespread application of plastic optical fiber is currently 20M." Chen Wei believes that the wide-scale popularization of smart homes will also require the rate of home broadband. At the same time, home intelligence will have to face network information security issues, and the threat of WiFi to plastic optical fibers no longer exists due to its security issues.
Smart home is a product of informationization and automation. It creates a more convenient and comfortable living environment and enters people’s lives quietly. It is a family unit, relying on integrated wiring technology, network communication technology, security technology, and automatic control technology. The home facilities are integrated and managed by a unified intelligent system, which improves the safety, convenience, and comfort of the home while making the home intelligent, and realizes energy saving and environmental protection.
However, the popularity of smart homes is directly related to people's living standards. From the current per capita GDP level in my country, it will take time for smart homes to enter people's lives on a large scale.
In terms of current plastic optical fiber applications, plastic optical fiber applications include broadband networks and FTTH, industrial applications, vehicle-mounted, medical applications, military applications, etc. Among them, the plastic optical fiber technology has been well applied in the information collection of the power industry. In the remote meter reading, the success rate of one meter reading can reach 100%.
