Recently, the highly influential optical connection conference CFCF2025 in the optical communication industry was grandly held in Suzhou. In the multi-platform interconnection test organized by FiberHome Online, the core products of the silicon photonics technology solution independently developed by Sichuan Opway Communication Co., Ltd., namely 800G OSFP 2xDR4 and 400G QSFP-DD DR4 high-speed optical modules, successfully passed the strict verification, demonstrating outstanding compatibility and stability.
This test aims to simulate a real and complex data center environment. Our high-speed modules have been extensively interconnected with similar products from many mainstream competitors in the market. The test results show that on a variety of high-end switch platforms including H3C S9827-64EP, Jilu MS6426-64D and NVIDIA QM9790, our 800G and 400G silicon photonics modules can achieve stable and reliable ultra-high-speed data transmission.
What is particularly noteworthy is that, in all interconnection test scenarios, the bit error rate (BER) of module transmission has consistently reached an excellent level of 10⁻¹⁰. This key indicator far exceeds the industry benchmark requirements, fully demonstrating the ultra-high reliability and signal integrity of this silicon photonics solution in ultra-high bandwidth scenarios.
This successful interconnection in a complex environment involving multiple vendors and platforms marks significant progress in the technical maturity and ecological compatibility of this self-developed silicon photonics solution, laying a solid foundation for its large-scale application in the next-generation high-speed interconnection network of data centers.
Driven by the global demand for training of large AI models, 800G high-speed optical modules have become the main driving force for market growth. From the perspective of market position, the demand for 800G optical modules has reached tens of millions in 2024, and is expected to further increase to 20 million units in 2025. With technology as the anchor and ecosystem as the wings, breaking through the red ocean of competition and leveraging the AI-driven iterative evolution of optical modules, only by combining in-depth technological development with seizing market opportunities can one carve out new growth poles in the face of the encirclement of leading manufacturers.
In the future, Opway will continue to increase its R&D investment in optical communication, deepen the industrialization application of silicon photonics technology; accelerate the mass production process of 800G; and expand the ecological cooperation in the industry chain. This technological breakthrough not only enhances Opway's technical discourse power in the field of optical communication, but also provides strong technical support for the country's digital infrastructure construction. We will continue to drive with technological innovation and contribute to the high-quality development of China's optical communication industry.
