On July 11, 2023, China Telecom Procurement Network released the "Pre selection Announcement of China Telecom's 2023 Home FTTR Equipment Centralized Procurement Project"
Procurement of 500000 sets of FTTR equipment, the first group level procurement by an operator!
According to the announcement, the procurement scale of 500000 is the first selection quantity and the estimated quantity for the past six months. It is expected that three operators, FTTR group level procurement, will enter the fast lane.
At present, the three major operators are actively developing FTTR business. Recently, China Mobile Smart Home sent a message that as of May 2023, China Mobile's All Optical WiFi (FTTR) service users have exceeded 1 million.
FTTR FTTR, Fiber To The Room.
FTTR uses one main optical cat and multiple slave optical cats for indoor WiFi coverage, and butterfly or hidden optical cables are used to connect the main and slave optical cats.
Compared to full house WiFi solutions such as router cascading, power cat, and parent-child routing, FTTR has the following advantages:
l Butterfly shaped or hidden optical cables are easier to lay than Category 6 cables, and the laying of hidden optical cables does not affect indoor aesthetics; l The maximum network speed near any optical cat can reach gigabit for gigabit users; l Stable network speed, stable terminal switching between optical cats; l The lifespan of optical fibers exceeds 20 years, and the bandwidth is almost infinite. Due to the above advantages of FTTR, the full house WiFi coverage scheme provided by operators is currently being adjusted from the previous sub parent routing scheme to the FTTR scheme. |
Prior to this, the three major operators were all purchasing from various provincial companies, and the group had not yet made large-scale purchases. The scale of this 500000 sets is also the largest FTTR procurement bid to date!
On June 13, 2023, China Mobile Guangdong Company's 2023 All Optical WIFI (FTTR) second batch of terminal public comparison project was the largest FTTR equipment centralized procurement and bidding before this, with a total of 350000 units and a total price of over 300 million yuan. Three companies won the bid:
Based on the number of devices, Huawei holds a 60% share, ZTE holds 37%, and China Mobile Bay Area (Guangdong) Innovation Research Institute Co., Ltd. holds 3%. Huawei and ZTE still have a significant advantage in the FTTR market.
Who can be shortlisted for this period's operator group level procurement? Can other PON gateway manufacturers, besides Huawei and ZTE, enter the FTTR market? Will prices further decrease? All deserve continuous attention!
