- Optical fiber remains the most modern and priority environment in the implementation of design solutions for in-house broadband Internet access.
- Today, Russia is below the global average level of optical fiber consumption per capita and is 3-4 times behind the leaders.
- Standardization is one of the effective tools for the development of modern communication networks and will allow achieving the indicators that Russia sets as national goals in 10 years.
- China's experience is indicative: the adoption of national standards in 2013 caused an explosive increase in fiber consumption: 2.4 times to 286 million km/year over the next 5 years.
