An investor asked Century Xun-Chuang: In the 1.6T series of products, what is roughly the proportion of using self-developed silicon photon chip solutions? Currently, new technologies such as XPO, NPO, and CPO are all silicon photon solutions, and the penetration rate of silicon photon in traditional pluggable modules is also increasing. Is EML going to gradually marginalized in the industry in the future due to the large volume and power consumption of internal devices under the EML solution? In response to this, Century Xun-Chuang replied on the interactive platform on April 26 that currently, the proportion of silicon photon solutions in 800G and 1.6T products exceeds half, and the proportion of silicon photon solutions is expected to continue to increase; however, both silicon photon solutions and EML solutions are important technical directions, and the company will continue to lay out in the future. In addition, Century Xun-Chuang stated that the company currently has no layout in the CPU field.
