中新网上海5月21日电 (记者 陈静)中国信息通信研究院技术与标准研究所宽带技术与业务部主任李少晖21日在沪指出，中国光网络已迈入“千兆普及、万兆启航”新阶段，万兆光网成为支撑数字经济与AI发展的关键底座。
李少晖强调，光智共融是产业升级核心方向，全光网络凭借超大带宽、超低时延特性，可高效支撑AI病理诊断、VR实训、工业质检等创新应用。下一步，“万兆校园、万兆医院”将会成为万兆光网的重点应用场景。
据介绍，当前50G PON、Wi-Fi7等核心技术日趋成熟，国内已完成136个万兆光网试点，园区场景落地成效显著。据悉，PON技术是指无源光网络，是一种纯介质网络，避免了外部设备的电磁干扰和雷电影响，减少了线路和外部设备的故障率，提高了系统可靠性，同时节省了维护成本。
当天，上海交通大学医学院(下称：上海交大医学院)AI F5G-A全光校园发布会暨园区网络光智共融“领航100”先锋行动全国启动仪式在上海举行。
