Here is the Huawei Marine's new manufacturing plant, optimized for West African Submarine

With this new facility, we can note that Huawei Marine is deeply engaged to meet modern standards and improve its services and infrastructure.  

In this dynamic, the global submarine cable networks provider announced the commercial operation of their second generation undersea repeater and branching unit manufacturing plant in Dongguan, China.

According to Huawei Marine, the factory is ramping-up to full production capacity as
Huawei Marine prepares for a new project in the West African region.

Connectikpeople may recall that, completed in April 2012, with an initial investment of US$9 million, the new Dongguan plant is 3,700 square meters, of which 1,600 square meters is dedicated to a world-class clean room facility, comprising Class 1,000 (1k) and Class 10,000 (10k) clean rooms to meet the most rigorous standards of particulate management and environmental control for repeater assembly and sealing.

Connectikpeople has also observed that, the plant is also equipped with newly developed technology and production facilities for the manufacturing, assembly, testing, quality management and assurance of all core elements associated with building undersea repeaters and branching units. The key technologies and equipment to be used include the world-class Optical Amplifier Module final assembly equipment, Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), Hydraulic Test Equipment, a Hermeticity Verification system, and a full set of tools for repeater and branching unit integration.

According to Huawei Marine When the plant operates at full manufacturing capacity, it will be one of the largest in the world and is able to support the construction of two transoceanic systems in one year.

"Manufacturing of the second generation repeaters and branching unit for our latest project has commenced. We are delighted to be bringing our state-of-the-art facility online so soon after construction. With such a strong foundation and clear focus, the journey ahead certainly looks exciting." said Nigel Bayliff, Chief Executive Officer of Huawei Marine.
