M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MTSI) (“MACOM”), a
leading supplier of high-performance RF, microwave, millimeterwave and
photonic semiconductor products, and Applied Optoelectronics, Inc.
(NASDAQ: AAOI) (“AOI”), a leading provider of fiber-optic access network
products for the Internet datacenter, cable broadband and
fiber-to-the-home markets, today announced their collaboration to
support initial orders and production ramp of 100G QSFP28 optical
transceiver solutions for datacenter applications.
Today, the QSFP28 transceiver is the predominant form factor for 100G
switching and routing connectivity, and a key enabler as 100G begins to
ramp in datacenters. As part of the collaboration, AOI will leverage
MACOM’s broad portfolio of CDRs, drivers and TIA chipsets in its QSFP28
solution. MACOM chipsets provide low power and a small form factor which
are critical enablers for the QSFP28 solutions.
“MACOM offers an extensive chipset product portfolio for datacenter
applications for both CWDM and PSM-4 applications, that is key for the
transition of the mega-datacenter customers from 40G to 100G,” said
Joshua Yeh, Senior Vice President of AOI's Network Equipment Module
Business Unit. “Through this collaboration coupled with our internally
sourced 25G laser diodes and 100G light engines, AOI is excited to offer
customers volume production of 100G transceivers optimized for
datacenters.”
“This multimillion dollar order from AOI marks the beginning of a
collaboration in support of AOI’s market leading position in the 100G
optical datacenter access market, builds upon on our success in the 100G
Long-Haul and Metro optical market and underscores that MACOM is well
positioned to benefit as 100G continues to ramp in datacenters,” said
Preet Virk, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Networks, MACOM.
“We believe we have the requisite technology, products and application
support to enable datacenter customers faster time to market while
solving their most complex connectivity issues.”
