CIOE2008: The first day

The organizer will be happy to see there are more people on the show floor than before, but the exhibitors maybe feel some kind of inconvenience. Because only the north gate is the entrance to the show, people like us have to waste a lot of time to find that entrance. Those exhibitors who bring a heavy load of exhibiting materials will find this a tough work for them. Even if you find the entrance, it is not easy too to find your booth. The organizer told us they would section exhibitors according to their industry, but we find some communication companies are located in display section, and vice versa.
If we forget this inconvenience, we can find some interesting things from the show itself. Besides those transceiver companies, we can find JDSU and Agilent's test instruments, we can find many big fiber and cable manufactures in China. They are not the usual attendee of this show. Among them, Fiberhome from Wuhan not only exhibits their cable, but also their dispersion compensator, and their FTTH equipments.
In component field, some companies whose main market is overseas market like Lightcomm doesn't attend the show. Some other attractive booths include:
Accelink: After their successful IPO in China, they are proud to set up a highest booth in the show. And they focus on their optical path protecting system.
Fibercom: Founded by Mr. Huang, zhangyong, this is the first appearance of the company. And they have a really good debut, showing a complete line of products from pump laser to PON transceiver.
Century Epitech: They have one of the largest booths in the show, and their slogan is from chip to transceiver, a really great objective.
Hisense: Their focus is their 10G PON transceiver, DVI active cable etc.
Sourcephotonics: Although they focus their exhibition on 10G products, their sales manager told us that revenue from PON transceiver has already been 85% of their total revenue. Their light green background is very comfortable.
WTD: In White and Red color, they tried to tell the visitors their rapid growth in these years by data.
