At the OFC\/NFOEC<\/a><\/strong> (Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition\/National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference)\u00a0conference in Anaheim, California this week several vendors have competing 100G technology announcements, fueling the ability to drive big data through ultra-fast networks.<\/p>\n

Juniper launches small supercore and 100G routing interface.<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0Juniper Networks (JNPR) announced the new PTX3000 Packet Transport Router. \u00a0Featuring a 10.6 inch depth design, it can rapidly scale up to 24 terabits per second (Tbps), which allows it to simultaneously stream HD video to as many as three million households. The router follows Juniper’s 2011 introduction of the Converged Supercore, a new architecture to bring together the packet and transport worlds. Additionally Juniper\u00a0announced an integrated packet-transport physical interface card (PIC) with two-ports of line rate 100 Gigabit forwarding for the entire PTX family, which will now enable service providers to cost-effectively interconnect sites more than 2000 kilometers (1,243 miles) apart. \u00a0”To effectively deliver advanced services and remain competitive, service providers need a core network solution that will help streamline their business and reduce operational costs,” said Rami Rahim, executive vice president, Platform Systems Division, Juniper Networks.\u00a0”The Converged Supercore is an innovative platform that enhances service provider economics while providing greater value to their subscribers. Following on the heels of the revolutionary PTX5000, the PTX3000 extends these benefits to new markets and geographies with a solution that is tailored for their specific needs.”<\/p>\n

Kotura launches 100G with WDM in dense package.<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0At the OFC\/NFOEC event Kotura\u00a0demonstrated its Optical Engine in a Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) package. Kotura is the only photonics provider to demonstrate WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) in a 100 gigabits per second (Gb\/s) 4×25 QSFP package with 3.5 watts of power. \u201cThe QSFP package enables our customers to fit 40 transceivers across the front panel of a switch, providing 10 times more bandwidth than CFP solutions,\u201d said Jean-Louis Malinge, Kotura president and CEO. \u201cBecause we monolithically integrate WDM and use standard Single Mode Fiber duplex cabling, our solution eliminates the need for expensive parallel fibers. No other silicon photonics provider can offer WDM in a 3.5 watt QSFP package.\u201d<\/p>\n

Applied Micro Launches stand alone OTN processor<\/strong><\/a>. Applied Micro (AMCC)\u00a0announced the TPO215 processor, a standalone OTN processor that enables 10 x 10G line cards for OTN cross connect and Packet-Optical Transport System (P-OTS) applications.\u00a0Delivering advanced framing, mapping and multiplexing, the TPO215 doubles the capacity of existing OTN framers while providing advanced security features. The product supports 10 x 10G channels for a total capacity of 100G.\u00a0\u201cAppliedMicro continues to pioneer technologies that will drive a new generation of networking equipment for telecommunications, data center and cloud connectivity,\u201d said George Jones, vice president and co-general manager, Connectivity Products, at AppliedMicro. \u201cThe desire to transition to packet-aware optical transport networks requires network equipment vendors to partner with semiconductor companies that have established expertise in the latest optical networking solutions. This processor helps enable the required infrastructure for dramatically improved user experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

Broadcom enables higher density 100G long haul.<\/strong> <\/a>\u00a0Broadcom (BRCM)\u00a0announced a fast CMOS transmitter PHY for long-haul, regional and metropolitan data transport.\u00a0The\u00a0BCM84128\u00a0100G transmitter achieves an aggregate data rate of 128 Gbps at a low power draw of only two watts. Using\u00a040 nanometer CMOS process technology it provides a full-rate clock output at 32 GHz and paves the way to 100G long-haul networks.\u00a0”The\u00a0BCM84128\u00a0high performance transmitter PHY reflects the industry-leading innovation we are known for, allowing OEMs to leverage 100G PHYs developed in standard CMOS process technology with its inherent advantages of lower power and reliability,” said\u00a0Lorenzo Longo,\u00a0Broadcom\u00a0Vice President and\u00a0General Manager, Physical Layer Products (PLP). “Today’s introduction provides\u00a0Broadcom\u00a0with the opportunity to participate in a new market segment and pave the way for 100G optical transport.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
