Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: The construction of 10,000 gigabit optical network pilot projects is progressing in an orderly manner. The pilot project goals are being achieved satisfactorily.

On April 21st, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the completion of the 10 Gbps optical network pilot project. Overall, the pilot project construction progressed in an orderly manner, and the pilot goals were achieved well. The 10 Gbps optical network was deployed in scenarios such as residential areas, factories, and industrial parks, cultivating business applications such as cloud computing, cloud gaming, industrial optical quality inspection, artificial intelligence + ultra-high-definition video surveillance, model training and reasoning applications, and integrated sensing, providing important references for the deployment and application of the 10 Gbps optical network from technical pilot phase to practical deployment. Original text: Notice from the General Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on the Completion of the 10 Gbps Optical Network Pilot Project MIIT Communication Letter [2026] No.161 To the telecommunications administrations of all provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government, the industrial and information technology authorities of all provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government, and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, China Telecom Corporation Limited, China Mobile Communications Group Co., Ltd., China United Network Communications Group Co., Ltd., China Broadcasting Network Corporation Limited, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, and all relevant units: In accordance with the requirements of the "Notice from the General Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on conducting the 10 Gbps optical network pilot work" (MIIT Communication Letter [2025] No.3) and the "Notice from the General Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on announcing the list of selected 10 Gbps optical network pilot projects" (MIIT Communication Letter [2025] No.119), following project self-evaluations, expert reviews, and other procedures, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has determined the completion of 136 projects for the 10 Gbps optical network pilot task (see attached list), which is hereby announced. Overall, the pilot project construction progressed in an orderly manner, with good completion of pilot goals. The 10 Gbps optical network was deployed in scenarios such as residential areas, factories, and industrial parks, cultivating business applications such as cloud computing, cloud gaming, industrial optical quality inspection, artificial intelligence + ultra-high-definition video surveillance, model training and reasoning applications, and integrated sensing, providing important references for promoting the application of the 10 Gbps optical network from the technical pilot phase to practical deployment. Please summarize the experience of the pilot projects and strengthen publicity and promotion to continuously promote the construction and development of the 10 Gbps optical network, fully leverage the enabling role of the network, and provide strong support for advancing the new industrialization, building a manufacturing powerhouse, and a strong network nation.
