Lightcomm Expands Fiber Optics Business, Plans MPO Equipment Procurement

Lightcomm, a company specializing in fiber optics and smart grids, is set to significantly expand its fiber optics operations by venturing into the MPO (Multi-fiber Push On) connector market. Chairman Lin Yu-chang announced that the company will partner with international collaborators to enter this sector. Lightcomm anticipates completing equipment procurement for its MPO production line in the third quarter, with the goal of commencing operations as early as the end of this year.

We will form alliances with international partners to enter the MPO market. We expect to complete equipment procurement in the third quarter, with production starting as early as the end of the year.

Lin explained that the new MPO assembly line will not require extensive facility renovations, a strategy designed to enhance the utilization rate of new production lines. This expansion is driven by the growing demand for high-speed optical modules, specifically for 800G to 1.6T applications. Lightcomm highlighted its four key technological strengths in the fiber optics market: fiber optic cables, optical communication components, optical communication system integration, and high-speed optical transmission solutions, with a particular focus on Fiber Array Unit (FAU) technology.

“

Because it does not require large-scale facility renovation, we have formulated a strategy to increase the utilization rate of new production lines. This year, we will build a new MPO assembly line factory to meet the demand for 800G to 1.6T high-speed optical modules.

Beyond its fiber optics ambitions, Lightcomm is actively developing its smart grid and infrastructure businesses. The infrastructure division, which currently represents about 60% of the company's revenue, operates as an engineering integration service provider, offering a comprehensive suite of services including planning, design, construction, and project management. This division has a proven track record in industrial plants, residential buildings, commercial spaces, and public works. Lightcomm's strategic diversification is supported by its subsidiary Taigang Engineering, which holds a Class A construction license and undertakes projects for the Taigang Group and other developments, such as the Yago Yacht Marina project.

Lightcomm's three major business groups: the fiber optics business accounts for about 15-20% of revenue, the energy storage business has grown rapidly to about 20% this year, and the infrastructure business accounts for about 60% of revenue this year.
