China Electronics Technology Group Corporation No. 23 Institute
The China Electronics Technology Group Corporation's 23rd Research Institute (referred to as "Institute 23"), established in 1963, has successively been directly affiliated with the Tenth Academy of the Ministry of National Defense, the Tenth Academy of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry, the Tenth Research Institute of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, the Ministry of Electronic Industry, and later the Ministry of Information Industry. Since 2002, it has belonged to China Electronics Technology Group Corporation Ltd. Over nearly six decades of development, Institute 23 has emerged as a leader in China’s electrical transmission, optical transmission, and optical sensing technologies, as well as a pioneer in the domestic marine information equipment sector. Headquartered in Shanghai, the institute operates across three distinct campuses: the Yangpu Campus in Shanghai’s Yangpu District, the Baoshan Campus in Shanghai’s Baoshan District, and the Jishui Campus in Jishui County, Jiangxi Province. This "one institute, three campuses" layout spans a total area of 177.42 mu, with a built-up area of 109,291.7 square meters—including an additional 6,600 square meters designated for future development. According to Institute 23’s strategic positioning, the Yangpu Campus serves as its original, high-tech innovation hub, while the Baoshan Campus has evolved into a dedicated military-industrial park. Meanwhile, the Jishui Campus stands as a vital platform for fulfilling the responsibilities of a central state-owned enterprise and supporting the revitalization of the southern Jiangxi Soviet region—acting as the institute’s key industrialization base. Today, Institute 23 employs over 1,000 staff members, including more than 400 engineering and technical professionals, among whom are over 110 senior engineers. The institute boasts a distinguished roster of experts who have earned prestigious national accolades such as the "National Defense Science and Technology Progress Award," the "National May Day Labor Medal," the "National March 8th Red Banner Holder," and the "National Young Skilled Worker Award." Many of these experts also receive government allowances from the State Council. Over the years, Institute 23 has consistently earned recognition as a "Shanghai Civilized Unit" and a "Shanghai High-Tech Enterprise," among other esteemed honors. Founded in response to China’s pioneering "Two Bombs, One Satellite" program, Institute 23 carries forward the "red gene" of dedicating itself to the nation through military service and the "blue gene" of technological innovation. Guided by its mission—to be the "main force in military electronics, the national team for cyber and information initiatives, and a strategic pillar of national science and technology"—the institute has actively contributed to some of China’s most significant national and defense projects, including the manned space program, Olympic security operations, Expo security measures, the Chang'e lunar exploration missions, and the BeiDou satellite navigation system. To date, Institute 23 has achieved over 1,500 scientific and technological breakthroughs, with more than 400 of these innovations reaching or surpassing international advanced standards. The institute has also garnered over 380 awards for scientific and technological progress, secured more than 260 patented inventions, and pioneered dozens of groundbreaking technologies and products that have set domestic records in China’s core fields of electrical transmission, optical transmission, and optical sensing. These achievements have played a crucial role in bolstering China’s drive toward self-reliance and world-class technological advancement. As a vice-chairman unit of the China Electronic Component Association, Institute 23 proudly leads the Optoelectronics Cables & Optical Devices Branch of the association. It also holds the position of chairman for the National Technical Committee on Standardization of High-Frequency Cables and Connectors for Electronic Equipment. Moreover, the institute serves as the domestic technical authority for two key International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) technical committees: IEC TC46 ("Cables, Wires, Waveguides, RF Connectors, and Accessories for Communication and Signal Applications") and IEC TC86 ("Fiber Optics"). Institute 23 takes the lead in drafting and revising numerous international, national, and industry-specific standards. Internally, the institute’s Inspection Center functions as the National Quality Inspection and Testing Center for Information Transmission Lines, the Information Industry Quality Supervision Center for Information Transmission Lines, the Military Electronics Metrology Station No. 306, the Huawei Joint Innovation Laboratory, the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC)-recognized testing service provider, a CQC-accredited testing laboratory, an INTERTEK-certified satellite laboratory, and a TÜV-affiliated testing facility. At Institute 23, we transmit dreams and sense the future. Grounded in a new stage of development, the institute is diligently implementing the group corporation’s "1-3-4-6" strategic development plan. With a commitment to achieving high-quality, sustainable growth through the principle of "steady progress coupled with strategic breakthroughs," we remain steadfast in our approach: prioritizing national defense, driving both military and civilian sectors, staying market-oriented, and embracing transformative innovation. Upholding our mission as the "builder of underwater offensive and defensive information systems, the mainstay of hydroacoustic equipment, and the vanguard in transmission and sensing technologies," Institute 23 is wholeheartedly committed to accelerating its journey toward becoming a world-class research institution in the field of marine information equipment—and contributing significantly to China’s vision of a strong maritime nation!
