Compass-EOS Launches Core Router

March 12, 2013 |
MILPITAS, Calif. and NETANYA, Israel -- Compass-EOS today announced the availability of the r10004, the first in a family of next-generation, core-grade modular routers designed to dramatically increase network capacity and speed. The r10004 is powered by icPhotonics, a technology developed by Compass-EOS that is the world’s first commercial chip-to-chip direct silicon-to-photonics implementation.

Compass-EOS’ patent-protected technology integrates optical and electronic components onto a single microchip. This represents a cross-disciplinary achievement which has been pursued by industry giants for years without success. It has long been accepted that direct silicon-to-photonics technology would be a required breakthrough to achieve order-of-magnitude Internet speed increases.

Compass-EOS’ icPhotonics optical interconnect fundamentally changes the way routers are built, and represents the technological foundation required for petabit networking. The resulting high capacity r10004 router simplifies the deployment, operation, and scaling of service provider networks. Each r10004 can serve as a modular router building block for the deployment of scale-out routing, enabling software-defined networking (SDN) and other approaches such as network function virtualization (NFV).
