AppliedMicro Pushes 100G

March 12, 2013 |
SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (NASDAQ: AMCC), also known as AppliedMicro, today announced significant business traction with coherent optical module suppliers, reporting that eight of the world's largest optical module manufacturers and vertically-integrated 100G systems companies are actively designing solutions based on the AppliedMicro S28032 multiplexer, the industry's fastest, lowest power transmitter solution manufactured in a CMOS process.

Acacia Communications, a leader in delivering intelligent subsystems for ultra-high speed fiber optic transmission, is deploying the AppliedMicro S28032 in its AC100 module, used by telecommunications equipment companies in both regional and long haul networks. AppliedMicro will demonstrate both solutions in its booth at OFC/NFOEC, Corporate Village, Booth #1083.

"As the first company to design a transmitter with this speed and performance in a CMOS process, we have changed the economics of deploying 100G coherent transmission solutions that are needed to fuel the widespread deployment of 100G OTN networks," said George Jones, vice president and co-general manager, Connectivity Products, at AppliedMicro. "CMOS solutions enable much lower power and, in turn, enable the delivery of more thermally-efficient optical modules for operational cost savings and improved reliability."
