On September 12, 2025, the 26th China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE) came to a successful conclusion in Shenzhen. As a globally leading provider of optoelectronic converged communication solutions, Smart Optical Communication dazzled the audience with a spectacular showcase of optical communication technology. At this exhibition, we not only presented the "entry-level optical" and Gigabit Wi-Fi6 home networking solutions for the all-optical security industry, but also unveiled the XGPON product, which truly achieved the "optical modular revolution" with ultra-high performance and minimal operation and maintenance, becoming the focus of the entire audience.

XGPON, embracing 10G optical network, opens a new chapter of AI enabled by optical technology

The Smart Optical Communication OLT series encompasses two types of optical access products: GPON and XGPON. Its design core lies in the redesign and high integration of traditional large, complex, and dedicated OLT equipment into a standardized, plug-and-play module. This is not just a simple change in equipment form, but also a profound revolution in the architecture of fiber optic access networks.

Reduced initial investment: Traditional OLTs are large frame-type devices, which are expensive and have low deployment flexibility. Modular OLTs allow operators to "purchase on demand and expand smoothly" based on user growth, eliminating the need to invest a large sum of money upfront to purchase port capacity that may only be fully utilized in the coming years, greatly reducing financial pressure.

Reduced operation and maintenance costs: The module is small in size, saving a significant amount of space in the server room. It is plug-and-play, and its fully transparent transmission feature makes fault replacement as simple as replacing a switch module. There is no need to send professional engineers to the site for repairs, significantly reducing maintenance time and labor costs.

The invention of VOLT represents a paradigm shift in the field of fiber-optic access, transitioning from "heavy" to "light", from "centralized" to "distributed", and from "closed" to "open". It is not merely a technical optimization, but also a profound reconstruction of the construction, operation, and maintenance, as well as business models across the entire industry. Its influence will extend from telecom rooms to millions of households and various industries, laying a more solid and flexible foundation for building an intelligent world of interconnected everything.

GPON module: flexible access, stable and reliable

In the VOLT series, GPON optical modules are available in three models: ZH-VOLT16, ZH-VOLT32, and ZH-VOLT128, supporting 16, 32, and 128 ONU terminal accesses respectively.

This module adopts the standard GPON protocol stack and Ethernet switching protocol, supporting 1.25G upstream/2.5G downstream rates. The optical port rate can be flexibly set to 1G or 2.5G. When using the 2.5G module, the optical port rate must be forced to be 2.5G. The maximum transmission distance is up to 8 kilometers.

It exhibits balanced luminous performance, with a total power consumption of less than 2.5W. It can operate stably with power supplied solely through the SFP interface, making it a cost-effective and easy-to-deploy access option.

Breaking News: XGPON, Ushering in a New Era of 10G Optical Access

At this year's Optical Communication Expo, ZH-VOLTXG64, the newly launched XGPON product by Smart Optical Communication, is a revolutionary optical access product that truly embodies the "optical modularization revolution" and has become the focus of attention. As a future-oriented 10G optical product, it not only achieves a leapfrog upgrade in performance but also evokes strong reactions in both domestic and foreign markets.

Leading technology, excellent performance

The ZH-VOLTXG64 is equipped with an XGPON protocol stack and an Ethernet switching protocol stack, supporting 10G downstream and 2.5G upstream rates. Its optical port supports a rate of 10G, significantly extending the transmission distance to 20 kilometers. This makes it particularly suitable for commercial scenarios demanding high bandwidth and wide coverage. While efficiently handling multiple traffic flows, it ensures lossless data forwarding.

This model uniquely supports the access of 64 ONU terminals, boasts strong luminous performance, and maintains a total power consumption within 5W, combining high performance with green energy efficiency.

Overseas customers have spoken highly of us, highlighting our international influence

During the exhibition, the Smart Optical Communication booth attracted a large number of professional overseas customers from Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and other regions. Many international customers showed strong interest in XGPON products, especially recognizing their plug-and-play features and robust performance. They repeatedly inquired about deployment cases, protocol compatibility, and remote management functions. The on-site negotiation atmosphere was lively, and global cooperation opportunities kept emerging.

Two major solutions were unveiled at the same time, covering multi-scenario lighting applications

In addition to its core optical access products, Smart Optical Communication also showcased the "entry-level optical" solution for the all-optical security industry and the all-optical Gigabit Wi-Fi6 whole-house wireless coverage solution. Both solutions attracted significant attention and inquiries from numerous industry customers at the event.

The "Entry-level Optical" solution from QuanGuang Security aims to break the dilemma of traditional security systems that "dare not use and cannot use" optical fibers. Driven by the national strategy of "optical fiber in, copper wire out", this solution features plug-and-play, no debugging, and high stability, greatly reducing the threshold for optical network deployment and use, seizing the technological high ground, and opening up new profit growth points.

The all-optical Gigabit Wi-Fi6 whole-house wireless coverage solution highlights true Gigabit unattenuated coverage, seamless roaming throughout the entire house, intelligent acceleration for e-sports, online management for teenagers, dedicated frequency bands for smart home devices, and invisible fiber that does not damage the decoration. It supports minimal operation and maintenance and plug-and-play, providing a high-quality wireless experience.

Empowering Industries with Light, Connecting the Future with Intelligence

Smart Optical Communication has always been committed to the innovation and implementation of optical communication technologies. The launch of XGPON not only represents a technological leap, but also provides global customers with future-oriented fiber optic network options. It embraces the 10G optical network, opens a new chapter of optical-empowered AI, and truly realizes the integration of the national strategy of "optical fiber into copper wire" and market demand. In the future, Smart Optical Communication will continue to adhere to innovation-driven development, deepen research and development of optical communication technologies, provide industry customers and end users with higher quality, more efficient, and more stable optical communication solutions, and work with partners to explore the new blue ocean of the "optical +" era.
