In recent days, the 2024 “Core Strength” list for Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Industry High-Quality Development, organized by C114, were announced. The SSD solutions tailored for data transmissions industry provided by BIWIN Spec—BIWIN’s industrial-grade storage brand—received the “Excellent Intelligent Modules Solution.” This series of innovations provides highly reliable and stable storage support for outdoor communication base stations in the ICT industry, serving as a vivid demonstration of BIWIN’s outstanding R&D strengths and product customization capabilities, contributing exceptional Chinese “core” solutions to computing infrastructure and mobile communications industry.
Project Background: High-Standard Storage Demands for the ICT Industry
With the widespread deployment of 5G technology, gradual commercialization of 5G-Advanced (5G-A), and deepening research into 6G, the information and communications industry has placed higher demands on infrastructure. Base stations, as core nodes for wireless signals, are widely distributed in complex environments including high altitudes, humid areas, and extreme cold conditions, requiring storage devices to meet ultra-high stability and reliability requirements. To be more specific, these equipment are required to support 24/7 uninterrupted operation with a lifespan of 8 to 10 years, which means the traditional SSDs are not able to meet the highly intensive operational demands, making innovative storage solutions urgently needed. Additionally, the information and communication industry plays a strategic, foundational, and pioneering role in driving economic and social development. Safeguarding data security and ensuring a secure, self-reliant supply chain are essential.
BIWIN Solutions: Hardware-Software Integration, Achieving “Next Level” Stability and Reliability
Backed by the industry chain edges of integrated R&D and packaging strategy, BIWIN developed the TGS200-P series wide-temperature SSDs, specifically designed to address industry-specific challenges through hardware design and firmware optimization.
Significantly Enhanced Reliability and Stability
Frequent write and erase operations, common with storing large volumes of logs and small files, place considerable strain on the flash memory cells within SSD. In response to clients’ particularly stringent demands, BIWIN tackles this challenge with its exclusive flash optimization algorithm, delivering up to 65,000 P/E cycles to maintain long-term performance stability and data integrity without degradation or loss. The SSD ensures stable performance over 8–10 years, far exceeding the lifespan of conventional SSDs. This reliability meets the rigorous demands of the data communication sector while reducing operational costs tied to maintenance and replacements.
Handling Extreme Environments
The product uses domestic industrial-grade wide-temperature chips with a high-reliability design, ensuring stable operation in extreme temperatures ranging from -40℃ to 85℃. It also features anti-sulfurization and anti-static protection, making it suitable for harsh environments such as high altitudes. These enhancements reduce the risk of downtime caused by storage failures, ensuring long-term, reliable device performance.
Full-Scale Performance Upgrade
Through optimizations in firmware algorithms, the series of products has significantly improved read/write speeds and response efficiency, capable of providing high-performance storage for 5G communication devices, enabling a comprehensive performance upgrade for customers’ devices and strengthening their competitiveness in the global market.
This award recognition reflects BIWIN’s technical strength and product competitiveness in the communications sector, while also marking the client’s acknowledgement of BIWIN’s innovation capabilities and customization services. Moving ahead, BIWIN will continue to focus on industrial storage domain, strengthen collaboration with upstream and downstream partners, and diversify storage applications across industrial automation, data communications, power and energy, smart transportation, and automotive electronics sectors, promoting technological innovation and commercial influence of Chinese storage industry in the global market.
