Infinera PICs 100Gbps coherent
Thursday, May 20, 2010 at 11:56PM What is being announced?
Infinera is expediting its product plans, basing its optical transmission roadmap on coherent detection.
The company plans to launch a 100Gbps coherent transmission system in 2012. The design will be based on a pair of 5x100Gbps ultra-long-haul photonic integrated circuit (PIC) chips to enable its systems to deliver 8 terabits-per-second (Tbps) over a fibre.
“This change in roadmap is because of the successful development of our 100G coherent ASIC programme, and we have integrated five 100Gbps coherent channels onto one card.”
Drew Perkins, Infinera
