China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) announced on Tuesday that it has launched an anti-circumvention investigation into certain optical fiber products imported from the US, marking the first time that China has initiated such an investigation. SINGAPORE – Asia Piling, a company involved in many public and commercial projects here, is the sub-contractor that hit critical underground fibre-optic cables, causing a 20-hour broadband outage to more than 5,000 households on April 18. When these cables go dark, everything from banking transactions to emergency response. The Technical Assistance and Support Center (TASC), Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) East Corporation is engaged in technical consultation and the analysis of optical fiber network faults for the NTT group in Japan and is contributing to eliminating the causes and reducing the number of faults. The thrust of the NEMI project on Fiber Optic Signal Performance was to develop fiber optics inspection criteria, which may support differing requirements based on application. Enabling a connected and enlightened future through the transformative power of fiber and light-based technology.
