In the ultra-wide band (UWB) and LTE era, Internet traffic data maintains a rapid growing speed, based on the mature system and excellent performance, 100G optical network system becomes the first choice of backbone network upgrades and construction in the global operators.

In China, all the three major operators decided to take 100G as the direction in upgrading and building of backbone networks, and 2013 became the first year of 100G era. Although the focus of competition turned into LTE in 2014, investments on the backbone networks were not reduced at all, ever since the third season in 2013, the three major operators have started 100G backbone network centralized purchasing for 5 times, and China become the largest 100G market in the world.

In July of this year, China Telecom started the centralized purchasing project of 100G DWDM/OTN equipment, Huawei, ZTE, FiberHome and Alcatel-Lucent participated in the bidding. China Telecom started large scale 100G equipment centralized purchasing for the first time in last year, and it has made deployments in coastal provinces and cities like Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and others, it is reported that the network building has been completed.

News revealed that China Telecom began to build 100G networks in Northeast and Northwest in 2014, at the same time, it also strengthened 100G network construction inside the provinces and the introduction of local networks and core networks in large cities. The centralized purchasing in this time is a specific action of China Telecom’s 100G deployment strategy, FiberHome said, China Telecom conducted a strict technical appraisal of the manufacturers in the bidding, and has determined the shares of the winning bidders, FiberHome obtained 40% of the market share, which was the largest share, and its technology and comprehensive rankings were both in the first place.

In the Global market, Huawei and Alcatel-Lucent are the leaders in 100G network. But in the domestic market, Ciena, Cisco and Infinera didn’t get many opportunities.

100G market has formed an initial pattern in domestic. Although the performance of FiberHome and Alcatel-Lucent were very good in the last year, but they still fell behind when compared with Huawei and ZTE. In 2014, FiberHome obtained the largest share in China Telecom 100G centralized purchasing, which strengthened its market status, Alcatel-Lucent won the bid of China Unicom national trunk in April of this year, covering the industrial bases of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, it won the bid and upgrade China Unicom national trunk again in July, and the performance was excellent, which made it the only manufacture in full harvest of domestic 100G national trunks. During the last 2 years of large scale centralized purchasing of domestic 100G networks, Huawei, ZTE, Alcatel-Lucent and FiberHome have firmed their status as core suppliers, becoming the "four carriages" in 100G network construction.
