A simplified, integrated optical network can help enterprises overcome the digitalization bottleneck caused by multiple co-existing networks.

Electric power and transportation provide essential services for national economies and people's livelihoods and as such form a vital part of the digital transformation process.
In the electric power industry, the energy Internet emerged on third-generation power grids at the end of the 20th century, supporting new power systems that use clean energy and run on smart, ultra-high voltage power grids and architecture. In the transportation industry, China's 2019 Program of Building National Strength in Transportation set similar requirements: first, deeply integrate advanced IT into transportation to digitalize the system. And second, establish an integrated transportation system that connects the sea, air, road, rail, and freight transportation.
Industries need to digitalize both infrastructure and services. Digital services need to rely on digital infrastructure equipped with comprehensive sensing and connectivity capabilities. Native hard pipes are an underlying technology for digital infrastructure that supports secure, real-time services for multiple industries.
