Non-China and Chinese-origin transceiver options for compliance and performance

Smartoptics provides non-China-origin and Chinese-origin optical transceivers from our trusted manufacturing partners across Asia. This gives you the flexibility to meet compliance or procurement requirements with country-of-origin documentation, or simply to choose the best balance of performance and cost for your network – all with the same Smartoptics testing and support standards.

Alternatives to Chinese optical transceivers for resilience amid shifting policies

Western governments are tightening sourcing and security rules for critical network components, prompting many network operators to specify optical transceivers aligned with NDAA 889, TAA, DSPCR, NIS2, and Australia’s CPR/ISM. These and other evolving frameworks require traceable supply chains and verified country-of-origin documentation, increasingly restricting or discouraging the use of Chinese-manufactured components. As a result, choosing transceivers from outside China provides a practical way to reduce regulatory uncertainty and future-proof long-term projects.

Optical transceivers from outside China with verified COE

Smartoptics provides non-China-origin optical transceivers from our trusted manufacturing partners in countries such as Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand, each supplied with verified country-of-origin documentation. Our transceivers undergo thermal, electrical, and optical testing in our Scandinavian labs to confirm interoperability and reliability before joining the Smartoptics portfolio. This ensures that our alternatives to Chinese optical transceivers meet the same quality standards as our Chinese-origin products. 

Top-performing, cost-efficient optical modules

While some networks require non-China-origin transceivers with verified documentation to meet internal or regulatory standards, others simply need the best optics for their specific requirements. That’s why Smartoptics also offers high-quality, cost-efficient transceivers from manufacturing partners in China, trusted and widely deployed across global networks. This flexibility enables you to balance compliance, performance, and value with the same confidence in Smartoptics quality and support – whichever origin you choose. 

Global partners – Scandinavian expertise

Smartoptics collaborates with carefully selected manufacturing partners worldwide, and our labs in Stockholm and Oslo are home to rigorous testing and qualification for optical transceivers. Each transceiver is verified by the same engineering team that designs and manufactures our open line systems, ROADMs, transponders, and muxponders. This complete optical system expertise shapes transceiver selection and guides choices that align with your compliance, performance, and efficiency goals.
