Company to demonstrate high-speed connectivity with the Optical Internetworking Forum
SUGAR LAND, Texas, Sept. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Applied Optoelectronics Inc. (“AOI”) (NASDAQ: AAOI), a leading provider of fiber-optic access network products for the internet datacenter, cable broadband, telecom and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) markets, is demonstrating its latest linear technology, the 1.6T OSFP DR8 LPO module, at the European Conference on Optical Communications (“ECOC”) 2024, setting a new level for high-speed networks by doubling the data rate of current interfaces.
The 1.6T OSFP DR8 LPO module is designed to integrate with the Optical Internetworking Forum’s (“OIF”) CEI-224G Linear standard, enabling data transfer rates essential for supporting data intensive applications, including Artificial Intelligence (“AI”), machine learnings (“ML”), and advanced data center operations. These integration capabilities address the current needs of today’s network infrastructures and position businesses to scale and integrate future advancements for reliable performance.
“We are excited to contribute to the OIF’s demonstration of the CEI-224G Linear standard,” said Fred Chang, Senior Vice President and North American General Manager at AOI. “Our 1.6T OSFP DR8 LPO module exemplifies AOI’s commitment to driving innovation in the optical communications industry, enabling faster, more efficient data transfer rates to meet the growing demands of global network infrastructures.”
As part of AOI’s collaboration with the OIF, the Company will also showcase additional solutions that support the next generation of data centers and emerging technologies. These will include:
800G OSFP DR8 LPO modules integrated into an 800G switch (CEI-112G Linear demonstration)
- Attendees will experience how the modules handle larger data volumes at higher data rate, allowing for improved performance for data-intensive applications within the data center.
