LS Cable & System has entered into an MoU with the Korea Photonics Technology Institute (KOPTI) for cooperation on next-generation optical communication technology. Starting with the multicore optical fiber development, LS Cable & System and KOPTI plan to expand optical communication technology and personnel exchanges. Multicore optical fibers are next-generation products capable of groundbreaking increases in data transmission volume compared to existing single-core optical fibers.

LS Cable & System forecasts that the demand for communication cables capable of large-scale data transmission will increase rapidly as the establishment of high-speed communication infrastructure expands across the globe. Accordingly, the company is expanding its related business, such as by acquiring the shares of KT Submarine, an underwater optical cable installation specialist. “The development of multicore optical fibers involves a high level of technical difficulty that only a few companies in Europe and Japan have succeeded in overcoming,” said LS Cable & System Head of Technology Development Division and CTO, Mr. In-ho Lee. “We will dominate the next-generation communication cable market by securing source technologies and participating in technology standardization.”
