en.Wedoany.com Reported - Hengtong Group achieved significant growth in revenue and net profit in the first quarter of 2026, with fiber optic production capacity and overseas orders continuing to expand. Meanwhile, the company made progress in its three core businesses: optical communications, submarine cables, and industrial digitalization. The company implemented benchmark projects such as the world's first S+C+L triple-band multi-core optical cable and the commercial use of hollow-core optical fiber, and deepened strategic cooperation with Huawei and China Mobile.

In the field of optical communications, Hengtong focuses on high-speed optical fibers, optical transmission products, and computing power network solutions, deeply integrating with artificial intelligence, large-scale data centers, and the construction of new infrastructure for 6G. On June 3, Hengtong Optic-Electric, in collaboration with China Mobile and Shandong Mobile, achieved the world's first commercial use of an S+C+L triple-band ultra-low-loss multi-core optical cable in Qingdao. The 7-core ultra-low-loss optical fiber used in this project increases the capacity of a single fiber to 8 times that of traditional optical fibers, supporting Pbps-level ultra-large-scale AI computing cluster high-speed interconnection. Following the implementation of this project, Hengtong Optic-Electric's stock price hit two consecutive daily limit-ups, and the company's market value exceeded 225.5 billion yuan, reaching a historic high. Hengtong Optic-Electric also reached a strategic cooperation agreement on industrial cloud computing with China Mobile and Mobile Cloud, jointly launching an integrated product of "optical connectivity + edge computing + industrial AI" for application scenarios in industries such as smart manufacturing, mining, and energy. In terms of next-generation optical transmission technology, Hengtong has completed technical verification for 300km 800G long-distance transmission and has proactively laid out core products such as supporting optical fibers, silicon photonics, and CPO for 1.6T/3.2T high-speed optical modules. The minimum attenuation of hollow-core optical fiber products has broken through 0.04dB/km, and transmission latency has been reduced by 33% compared to traditional solid-core optical fibers. The company has successively won bids for projects including the China Telecom Western Information Center Hub Interconnection Project. In the 6G field, Hengtong is deeply involved in China's overall 6G construction plan, fully aligning with the industry goal of "building a nationwide 6G trial network by 2027 and achieving commercial use by 2030." It has already achieved batch supply of optical fibers for 5G/6G dual-mode base stations.

In the submarine cable business, Hengtong's submarine cable business ranks first in China and among the top three globally. On May 29, the board of directors of Hengtong Optic-Electric approved a proposal to spin off its subsidiary, Hengtong Huahai Technology, for listing on the STAR Market. Hengtong Huahai Technology primarily engages in marine optical fibers, submarine cable systems, and deep-sea engineering services, holding over 40% of the domestic market share and ranking among the top three globally in the industry. Its net profit exceeded 15 billion yuan in 2025. As of May 2026, Hengtong has completed the construction of over 160 international submarine cable systems for more than 70 countries, including benchmark projects such as the world's longest jointless submarine cable in the Maldives and the national submarine cable in Papua New Guinea. Recently, it also won bids for new projects such as the Cancun submarine cable in Mexico and the Indonesia-Singapore cross-border submarine cable. In the deep-sea offshore wind power sector, Hengtong has built an integrated service capability covering "submarine cable manufacturing, laying and installation, wind turbine installation, and post-operation maintenance." Its self-developed dynamic cable system has entered the global first tier, and it has overcome deep-sea umbilical cable technology. Currently, Hengtong has established 13 overseas industrial bases and over 40 overseas technical service companies, with its business covering more than 150 countries and regions.

In the field of industrial digitalization, on May 27, Hengtong released the world's first AI smart manufacturing solution based on the dual foundation of "computing power network + power network." This solution leverages all-optical computing power networks and smart grid optical fiber sensing technology to achieve ultra-low latency at the 10μs level and ultra-large bandwidth at the Tbps level within factories, along with millisecond-level fault self-healing capabilities. Hengtong Optic-Electric Chairman Cui Wei stated that the "computing power × power" dual-foundation strategy is the core layout for Hengtong to empower high-end smart manufacturing. In the energy interconnection sector, Hengtong has entered the smart grid track, independently developing products such as high-voltage direct current submarine cables and floating wind power cables, and has laid out the new energy automotive industry chain. On the manufacturing side, the overall automation rate of Hengtong's factories exceeds 85%.
