Is fibre the future of digital communication?
While this question has been answered frequently and views have been exchanged in an infinite loop, not many in the telecom industry have been able to gauge the gravity of the deliberation. Arthur CHEONG, PBM AMIMechE, Chairman and CEO of Ectivise Solutions, is one such seasoned veteran who is opening the industry’s eyes to the numerous benefits of optical networking with his sheer grit and determination. When it comes to leveraging and proving the potential of fibre infrastructure, Cheong is all up for the challenge. Following his entrepreneurial streak and zest for a metamorphosis, Ectivise Solutions’ genesis was a natural progression to further his resolve to ‘fiberising the future.’ Having pioneered 10 Mbps to the home in 1995, Cheong is the brain behind the evolution of Ectivise Solutions from broadband-to-the-home to the current fibre-in-the-enterprise. The company actively supports the upside of well-thought-out investment and, more importantly, replacement of copper cables in enterprise infrastructure with infinitely faster fibre optics.
With Cheong at the helm, the company is a catalyst for efficiency and transformation in the networking space with its rich portfolio of Passive Optical Networks (PON) and Integrated Optical Backbone Architecture (IOBA) solutions that laser focus on significantly reducing CAPEX and OPEX. These solutions have empowered enterprises to transfer extensive data such as, but not limited to, 4K video at the speed of light.
"With a vision to foster the utilization of fibre technology, ectivise aims to reduce carbon footprint and establish greener, cost-effective, and highly sustainable networking infrastructure"
To enable ultrafast data transmitting experience and save a vast amount of floor space and energy consumption as opposed to traditional copper networks, Cheong has a prescient vision of what optical fibre networks can accomplish. His idea to bring fibre technology closer to users emanates from Ectivise’s ICT consulting services, outside and inside plant network design and planning, customized IOBA solutions, solution implementation, systems integration and on-site/remote maintenance across the Asia Pacific region. On the account of such extensive offerings, Ectivise’s clientele has rapidly mushroomed across public sectors, healthcare, education, hospitality, and convention centres in Singapore and many other countries in Asia.
A Quantum Leap in Fibre Optics
According to Cheong, while Hybrid Fibre-Coax (HFC) architecture is almost passé, gigabit passive optical networks (GPON) have put on a spurt. GPON, he says, is transforming the FTTx (fibre-to-the-x) architecture by bringing in higher bandwidth, cost-effective speed upgrades, flexible network topology, and legacy system compatibility. “Evolution of connectivity today continues to be defined by broadband network architecture using optical fibre.
Bringing forth the power of gpons, ectivise solutions is ahead of the game, committed to changing the mindset that continues to plague the broadband network architecture
