Republic of Korea - November 6, 2023 —

S.L. Technology (SLT), a trailblazer in the optical communication components industry, has announced its ambitious plan to penetrate the American market with its state-of-the-art Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) products. SLT's WDM MUX devices, known for their ability to combine or split multiple wavelengths (channels) on a single optical path, are poised to revolutionize the realm of optical communications.

SLT's product line, including the 80ch Simplex MUX and the 40ch Duplex MUX, is designed to cater to the surging demands of 4G, 5G, and the anticipated 6G networks. These devices are critical for the mobile network front-haul at cell sites and play a significant role in data network mid-haul and backhaul. The 5G Front-Haul MUX models, compatible with leading service providers like Verizon and AT&T, underscore the company’s commitment to supporting the backbone of modern telecommunications.

The indirect export narrative of SLT is equally compelling. The company has played a pivotal role in supplying components for a significant front-haul supply contract worth 50 million dollars, contributing to the expansion of South Korea's export reach. SLT's contributions are a significant portion of its total sales, marking a substantial impact on the company's growth trajectory.

Established in 1999, SLT has been at the forefront of providing comprehensive optical communication technologies essential for network infrastructure. The company prides itself on stringent quality control, operating under KS, ISO9001, and ISO14001 certifications to ensure the highest standards for its products.

The competitive edge of SLT lies in its WDM manufacturing technology, which can be applied to the production of various WDM filter components. Despite the current global reliance on manual production techniques that lead to higher defect rates and inconsistency in quality, SLT is innovating automated manufacturing equipment for WDM products. 

As SLT prepares to showcase its WDM MUX products to the US market, the industry watches with keen interest. With its proven track record, SLT is not just exporting products; it's exporting excellence and reliability, reaffirming its vision to be at the cusp of the optical communications revolution.

New elementary school enrollment to drop below 300,000 for 1st time amid low birth rate

The number of children entering elementary schools in Korea is expected to fall below 300,000 for the first time next year amid the country's low birth rate, data showed Sunday. The number of first graders, born in 2020, entering elementary school for the 2027 academic year, is expected to fall short of 300,000, just three years after dropping below the 400,000 mark, according to data compiled by the Korean Statistical Information Service (KOSIS) and the Korean Educational Development Institute (KEDI). The decline comes as only 272,337 babies were born in 2020, down 10 percent from a year earlier, according to the Ministry of Data and Statistics. A total of 301,442 students enrolled as elementary school freshmen this year, barely surpassing the 300,000 mark and marking the lowest level since 1964, when the ministry began compiling related data. The figure is expected to fall further next year to roughly one-fourth of the 1.05 million recorded in 1968. The shrinking school-age population has raised concerns over school closures, particularly in rural areas, and a widening education gap bet

Korea reviewing plan to expand label-free mandate to foreign-produced bottled water

The government is reportedly reviewing plans to expand the label-free mandate for domestically produced drinking water to include bottled water brands imported from overseas, officials said Sunday. The plan was discussed in a recent meeting with importers of foreign-produced bottled water, according to the officials from the environment ministry. The meeting was a routine consultation with industry officials, and the ministry is still undecided on whether to apply the mandate to offshore brands, they added. Korea has required all bottled water produced and sold domestically to be label-free starting early this year, replacing physical labels with QR codes on bottle caps and external packaging. The mandate is expected to reduce the country's annual plastic usage by 2,270 metric tons, according to the ministry of climate, energy and environment. Bottled water produced overseas, however, is excluded from the mandate and is sold with traditional labels. Domestic producers have raised equity concerns, arguing that competing products in the same market should be subject to the same standards. As

When Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu and seven principal officials bowed deeply before the cameras on October 29, Hong Kong witnessed something rare: a collective government apology. It came 11 months after the Wang Fuk Court fire claimed 168 lives and uprooted 1,984 households. A minister has resigned. Many reforms have been promised. Yet public reaction remains divided. That division reveals what people expect an apology to achieve, and how differently they understand political...
