Iranian Knowledge-Based Company Domestically Produces Optical Fiber Joints
According to a report by the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy Hossein Jardakani, managing director of the knowledge-based company located in Payam Special Economic Zone in Alborze Province near Karaj city told reporters that the research field of this company is the design and manufacturing of passive fiber optic equipment for telecommunication uses.
“From 2008 to 2012, all the equipment made in this company used to be imported from countries like Korea, the USA and China. But later we managed to produce these products in this company,” he added.
He said that as many as 15 products are produced in their knowledge-based company, adding, “Our company has been located in Payam Special Economic Zone since 2017 and the raw materials needed for our products are purchased from Tabriz, Golpayegan and Arak petrochemical copanies.”
“Optical fiber cables are 4 kilometers long and it is not possible to produce longer cables than that. Therefore, for telecommunication applications, it is vital to connect them through optical fiber joints that we produced in this company,” he went on to say.
The managing director of the knowledge-based company pointed to the advantages of their product over rivals saying, “These joints are resistant against pressures. Meanwhile they prevent water from entering the container.”
Stating that optical fiber joints were bought from Korea for $50, Jaredakani added, “Each piece of our company's product is sold at a price of $20.”
“Since 2018, the optical fiber project has been proposed for inside homes, and we have produced all its equipment in this company, including ‘fiber optic distribution box and fiber optic outlet’ that is installed on the wall,” Jardakani concluded.
