Synolink

Introduction to Synolink
Shanghai Synolink Communication Technology Co., Ltd. is a high-tech R&D company centered on optical networks, committed to the integrated development of optical network and information security technologies. Synolink owns a nearly 5,000-square-meter R&D office building and currently has 220 employees, located in the scenic Songjiang New City.

I. Product Technology
Technology is the driving force for Synolink's sustainable development. Synolink has a high-quality R&D team, of which nearly 50% are PhDs and masters from prestigious 985/211 universities. The R&D team focuses on efficiency and emphasizes execution, achieving multiple international core intellectual property rights covering transmission, access, and network security with relatively lean manpower. Since its inception, Synolink has invested over 100 million RMB in R&D in high-speed optical networks and information security, applied for more than 40 patents and over 30 software copyrights, and has been recognized as a national high-tech enterprise, a Shanghai strategic emerging enterprise, a Shanghai "specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative" enterprise, a Shanghai science and technology little giant enterprise, and a first-category key supported enterprise in Songjiang. Years of R&D investment have enabled Synolink to accumulate extensive industry expertise from access networks to transmission and internet security, translated into a rich product line.

In the optical network field, Synolink currently ranks fourth domestically after Huawei, ZTE, and FiberHome in terms of product technology strength, being the fourth company in China with a full-series optical network product line from backbone/core network 100G+ OTN to FTTH access networks. Products include:
1. Transmission products: existing 100/200G OTN, C/DWDM metropolitan wavelength division multiplexing, OLP (Optical Line Protection), optical cable monitoring systems;
2. Access network products: existing GPON end-to-end solutions from central office OLT to user-side ONU;
3. Synolink's innovative WDM PON system and PON over OTN technology integrate OTN/WDM and access network technologies, enabling one optical fiber to transmit 8-48 GPON or EPON links, providing cost-effective single-fiber full-residential G/EPON coverage solutions.

As the company's product capabilities increase, Synolink will continue to increase investment in the optical network product line.
First, from 2018 to 2020, Synolink plans to invest 100 million RMB in the development of future-oriented 400G OTN systems;
Second, it has undertaken the development of 25G PON technology for "Broadband China" beyond 2020, striving to build a next-generation optical access network system with bidirectional speeds up to 50Gbps before 2020.
If these two projects are successfully developed, Synolink will have the opportunity to enter the domestic optical network technology camp and support Synolink in achieving an annual revenue scale of over 1 billion RMB within the next five years.

In the field of network security, as one of the domestic internet security hardware suppliers, Synolink can provide customers with full-series solutions from data centers to metropolitan area networks, from G/EPON to DSL, including:
1. Full-series data link collection solutions
2. Distributed access network special investigation platforms
3. IDC/ISP information security management systems
In the future, Synolink will continue to increase investment in network security, evolving from hardware-only solutions to comprehensive network security providers with both software and hardware capabilities.

II. Market Expansion
In the early stage of Synolink's development, it mainly focused on domestic private networks such as public security and safety; with the company's growth, Synolink entered the domestic operator market starting in 2014; at present, Synolink's domestic customer base includes not only operators such as China Telecom, China Mobile, and China Unicom, but also private network customers such as broadcasting, electric power, railway, and public security.
Overseas, Synolink's products have reached Southeast Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and other regions, covering more than 30 countries and regions including Canada, France, Australia, Russia, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Somalia.
Compared with product technology, there is greater room for improvement in market expansion. The company is currently making every effort to strengthen the domestic and international market team, aiming to build a market-oriented and combat-effective sales team capable of undertaking 500 million to 1 billion RMB in sales before the end of this year.

III. Outlook for the Future
General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech at the just-concluded Academician Conference encouraged everyone to "bravely overcome difficulties, unswervingly seize the high ground of technological competition and future development, and strive to achieve independent control of key core technologies."
The General Secretary's speech has greatly inspired the enthusiasm of Synolink people for innovation. We are in a rare strategic opportunity period for the communication industry, so we should work hard, grasp the strategic direction of integrated development of optical networks and information security, "take strivers as the foundation, and be results-oriented," go global, and strive to achieve an annual sales scale of over 1 billion RMB within 3-5 years, becoming a vigorous new force in the global network communication field.
