Zelenograd Nanotechnology Center (ZNTZ), a resident of Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Technopolis Moscow, is launching production of the first domestic multiplexers. Which are the key to speed up data transmission by 30-40 times, told Vladislav Ovchinsky, the head of the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy, which is part of a complex of economic policy and property and land relations of the capital. For the development of technologies in the field of photonics a cross-sectoral cluster, which brings together more than 40 participants, was created in Moscow last year. Half of them are companies localized on the territory of the special economic zone Technopolis Moscow. Last year the specialists of the ZSTC obtained the first samples of domestic optical waveguide multiplexer crystals. Now the nanocenter is preparing to start serial production. In 2023 we plan to produce at least 300 items and by 2025 we are going to increase the production volume to 5,000 items per year, said Vladislav Ovchinsky. The company also develops and produces photonic integrated circuits (PIC), including those for optical transceivers. Developed photonic integrated circuits can be used in high-speed and energy-efficient devices for transmission and processing of telecommunication signals. This equipment can be used for onboard equipment and ground infrastructure of the aerospace industry, as well as in the telecommunications industry, to organize powerful 5/6G information networks and connect users to high-speed Internet, IP-telephony and IP-TV. The new multiplexer will make it possible to transmit 44 different streams of information over a single fiber optic cable. Thus, the efficiency of Internet networks on the existing infrastructure is increased without significant modernization, emphasized Gennady Dyogtev, CEO of Technopolis Moscow SEZ. The modules have no domestic analogues. For the first time, the component base of the device, including the FIS, is fully developed and produced at ZNTC's own production facilities. Thanks to the complete localization of the entire development and production cycle of the device, which we managed to achieve, it will be possible to take an important step toward the technological sovereignty of our country, said ZSTC Deputy Director General Konstantin Pevchikh. In 2011 the company received the status of a resident of the special economic zone Technopolis Moscow which allows to use considerable privileges. Residents are exempt from property, transport and land taxes for 10 years. The rate of profits tax for it is only two per cent. There are also benefits for the lease of land allocated for the construction of the enterprise, and on its completion there is an opportunity to buy out the plot for one per cent of the cadastral value. ________________________________________ Press service of the SEZ "Technopolis Moscow" Phone: +7 916 516-15-46 Mail: pr@technomoscow.ru [ mailto:pr@technomoscow.ru ] Subscribe to the SEZ "Technopolis Moscow" in social networks, follow the main news of the SEZ in telegram-channel [ https://t.me/technopolismoscow ] and receive all the most important news delivered to your mail in our weekly newsletter [ http://events.technomoscow.ru/subscribe/?utm_source=site_technomoscow ] .
