What Fiberhome does
Fiberhome (FiberHome Telecommunication Technologies Co., Ltd. / 烽火通信科技股份有限公司, SH: 600498) is a Chinese, state-owned optical-communications and information-technology group founded in 1999 and headquartered in Wuhan, operating as a subsidiary of China Information and Communication Technologies Group (CICT / 中国信科). It runs an end-to-end "preform–fiber–cable–device–system" value chain spanning optical fiber preforms, specialty fibers (G.654.E, hollow-core, radiation-resistant, multi-core), optical cables, OTN/SPN/MSTP transport, 50G PON and FTTR access, NPO/CPO/OCS data-center switches, submarine cable systems and EPC integration services. Beyond connectivity, the group has expanded into AI compute infrastructure (FitServer, FitStor, super-node servers via Changjiang Computing), industrial AI (FitAI platform), carbon management (FitGreen), automotive-grade RISC-V MCUs (Binary Semiconductor's FuXi2360) and consumer home networking (MIFON routers/TV boxes), with sub-brands Fengine (data center) and MIFON (consumer).
Fiberhome makes money through a B2B/B2G sales-led model: project-based, tender-priced contracts with telecom operators (China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom as the primary domestic base, plus overseas carriers such as Omantel, Mundo Pacífico, Deutsche Telekom, Open Fiber, SURGE and BAKTI), central and provincial governments (Hubei Provincial Government, Wuhan Metro, Hubei State Grid), industrial customers (Xiaomi, Haizi Cement) and financial/insurance groups (PICC). Revenue streams include optical fiber/cable/preform hardware sales, transmission and access equipment, system integration and turnkey EPC projects (including submarine cables), subscription and license revenue from in-house software platforms (FitOS, FitDataCloud, FitCampus), managed services, consumer MIFON hardware and IP/standards-related royalties. Internationally it goes to market via direct enterprise sales supported by industrial bases in Hungary (Zettanet) and Thailand (OPTISEN), regional manufacturing hubs in South America, South Asia and North Africa, and channel partners such as Netceed in Europe and WHA in Thailand.
The company employs 10,000+ people, holds 3,400+ granted patents (including 2,200+ invention patents and 460 PCT filings), operates 11 global delivery centers, and exports to 90+ countries. Its 2025 product portfolio reflects a strategic pivot toward AI infrastructure and sovereign optical technology, anchored by the world's largest-spec 300 mm preform, 13,824-core cable, 51.2T NPO switch, next-generation hollow-core fiber, and an 800G transoceanic transmission system.
