ICC News: From March 26th to 28th, the 49th Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition (OFC 2024) successfully concluded in San Diego, the United States. During the exhibition, Suzhou TFC COMMUNICATION Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as TFC COMMUNICATION Co., Ltd.), a leader in overall optical device solutions and a manufacturer and service provider of advanced optical packaging, grandly presented to industry customers and professional audiences the supporting application products for 800G optical modules applied in artificial intelligence and data centers, such as high-speed optical engine product series and component solutions like Mux TOSA, Demux POSA, Lensed FAU, and MT-FA.
Keep Up with Industry Trends and Make a Splendid Appearance at the OFC Industry Event
At the OFC exhibition site, Ms. Ou Yang, General Manager of TFC COMMUNICATION Co., Ltd., gladly accepted an interview from Stone Optoelectronics News Network. At this year's OFC exhibition, 800G/1.6T optical modules, as well as optical communication technologies such as single-wavelength 200G optical chips, LPO, silicon photonics & CPO, and thin-film lithium niobate, became the focus of attention. With the rapid development of technology, 800G and even higher-speed optical modules are gradually becoming the mainstream, and all of this requires the support of high-speed optical devices. At the same time, as devices are developing towards a more miniaturized and compact direction, this also puts forward higher requirements for the manufacturing process. TFC COMMUNICATION Co., Ltd. will continue to keep up with industry trends, continuously enhance its R&D capabilities, and provide customers with better products and services.
The Thai Factory is About to Start Production, Facilitating the Company's Global Layout
In order to meet the needs of overseas customers, TFC COMMUNICATION Co., Ltd. is actively laying out overseas production and manufacturing bases. Ms. Ou introduced that the biggest change for TFC COMMUNICATION Co., Ltd. in 2024 is that the company's Thai factory is about to be completed and put into production. The first factory building will be delivered for use at the end of April, and the second factory building is planned to be delivered for use in October. It is understood that the area of the Thai factory will reach 40,000 square meters, and its main business is the production of passive optical components and products related to optical engine foundry services.
With the gradual completion of the Thai factory, TFC COMMUNICATION Co., Ltd. will form a networked three-dimensional layout with Suzhou and Singapore as the dual headquarters, multiple R&D centers in Suzhou, Shenzhen, Japan, etc., and two large-scale mass production bases in Jiangxi and Thailand. It can quickly and deeply respond to customers' requirements for customized R&D and mass production delivery of optical devices, helping TFC COMMUNICATION Co., Ltd. to become a globally competitive optical device enterprise.
Vertical Integration and Innovative R&D, Providing Customers with One-Stop Optical Device Solutions
In terms of product technology, in the face of the explosive growth of AI computing power and the urgent needs of data centers for high throughput and large bandwidth, the performance requirements of products are constantly increasing. In the future, products will develop towards the direction of high integration, low power consumption, and high reliability. Keeping up with the changes in optical communication technology trends, since its listing in 2015, TFC COMMUNICATION Co., Ltd. has, through three rounds of financing and three mergers and acquisitions, expanded its products to meet customers' different product and technology needs for solutions. The expansion of key technologies such as AWG technology, LENS lens technology, coating, wavelength division multiplexing, and TFF micro-optical components has solved customers' requirements and pain points. Over the past eighteen years, the company has been intensively cultivating and has accumulated a number of industry-leading process technologies in basic material fields such as precision ceramics, engineering plastics, composite metals, and optical glass, providing customers with a variety of vertically integrated one-stop overall optical device solutions.
Ms. Ou said that TFC COMMUNICATION Co., Ltd. has vertically integrated its 16 optical device product lines and is going all out to provide customers with a variety of demand solutions for fields ranging from data centers and AI applications to automotive radars. It has achieved an R&D investment of about 10% for five consecutive years and uses a flexible R&D system to fully meet customers' needs. Multiple R&D centers of TFC COMMUNICATION Co., Ltd. can take into account efficient division of labor and mutual cooperation. For example, the Japanese R&D center has a history of nearly 40 years in optical design and R&D and has an extremely high industry reputation in high-precision plastic lenses (LENS). The Auxora Optoelectronics team, positioned as the Shenzhen R&D center, focuses on the development of optical components products such as coating and glass cold processing, and shares the Thai factory and the production base in Jiangxi to achieve low-cost manufacturing with rapid delivery.
Seize Opportunities, Adhere to the Positioning of Not Creating Its Own Brand, and Serve Global Customers
In 2024, with the support of application markets such as AI computing power and data centers, the global optical communication industry has seen the large-scale construction of computing power and network infrastructure, which has promoted the rapid growth of the high-speed optical module market and driven the continuous increase in the demand for supporting high-speed optical engine components. In such a market environment full of opportunities and challenges, Stone Optoelectronics News Network firmly believes that enterprises that can stably, quickly, and flexibly provide R&D and delivery services are more likely to seize the opportunities in optical communication and rank among the industry leaders.
TFC COMMUNICATION Co., Ltd. has been deeply involved in the industry for eighteen years, continuously expanding its business areas, and has constructed a series of diversified technology platforms and product solutions, aiming to meet the differentiated needs of global customers. On this basis, the company has also actively expanded its optical device foundry services, adhered to the positioning of not creating its own brand, always centered on customers, listened to customers' voices, strived to become the preferred supply partner of global mainstream customers, and continuously created new value for customers to jointly create a better future!
