"Supporting 10 Gbps over 220 meters of OM1/OM2/OM3 multimode fibers (MMF) in datacenter applications is one of the most challenging aspects of 10GBASE-LRM technology but AppliedMicro’s expertise in electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) and forward error correction (FEC) makes it possible to begin the full-scale characterization of the hardware,” said Dr. I-Hsing Tan, the 10G SFP+ Business Development Manager for Avago Technologies. “This is a tremendous opportunity to show the market that 10GBASE-LRM SFP+ solutions are going to bring major improvements in port density, reach, power consumption and cost to the data center. Avago Technologies is pleased to be in a leadership position with AppliedMicro in demonstrating the 10GBASE-LRM interoperability at ECOC."
“Service providers and telecommunication companies today seek to upgrade their optical networks to answer the huge demand of bandwidth driven by Internet traffic growth while simultaneously improving performance and lowering the overall cost of installing and maintaining their networks. The key to the cost-effective upgrade of these networks is clock-and-data recovery (CDR) and EDC technology,” said Daniele Conti, head of optical modules development team for Mitel-Teleoptix. “EDC technology extends the reach of optical links through the compensation of impairments found in the components and fiber optic cabling and through the improvement of performance. That’s why Mitel-Teleoptix has selected AppliedMicro’s S19233, which integrates the CDR and EDC functionalities in one chip, as the natural choice to use inside its long haul and DWDM XFP modules.”
“Carriers demand next-generation equipment that integrates the latest technology and delivers cost-effective transport of Internet traffic with unparalleled precision and quality of service,” said Dag Neumeuer, CEO of MergeOptics. “AppliedMicro’s low power and robust PHY technology offers MergeOptics the ability to integrate the latest functionality into optical modules so that carriers have the ability to quickly upgrade their services and network capacity. We’re pleased to work with AppliedMicro and the success of this product is proof of the efficient relationship between MergeOptics and AppliedMicro.”
The 10GbE PHY is a critical component in our new high density switching platform, therefore we had very strict selection guidelines," noted Mike Yang, General Manager and Vice President of Quanta Computer, Inc. "AppliedMicro met all of these requirements with their understanding of the high density system challenges, the performance of the chip and their turnkey solution. They were big differentiators in helping us meet our overall project cost, scheduling and performance guidelines.
Customers today are focused on achieving higher performance at lower power levels in ever-smaller form factors," said Rick Maule, CEO and president, NetEffect. "The SFP+ adapter is the most recent addition to our family of 10Gb accelerated Ethernet adapters, all of which have demonstrated an ability to meet the most stringent data center requirements for networking, storage and clustering. The AppliedMicro QT2025 was a natural choice to make this form factor possible.
AppliedMicro's S19252 provides the features, integration, and functions we require for Optium's new small form factor tunable product," said Tom Williams, Director of Product Line Management for Optium Corporation. "AppliedMicro's S19252 empowers Optium to deliver cost-effective SFF MSA compliant products with high performance and high availability.
Tehuti Networks is extremely pleased to expand its long-standing relationship with AppliedMicro through our SFP+ adapter offerings," said Blaine Kohl, vice president of marketing, Tehuti Networks. "These adapters provide customers the flexibility of selecting an optics module that best meets the target application while offering space and power savings over XFP adapters.
AMCC Announces Yahara Family of 10GbE Framer/Mapper/PHY Devices for Multi-Service Transport Platforms and Metro/Long Haul Optical Networks
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Mar 23, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (NASDAQ:AMCC), a global leader in optical transport, embedded Power Architecture(R) processing, and storage solutions, today announced Yahara, a new series of devices for next generation optical network physical layer solutions supporting 10-Gigabit Ethernet, Metro, and Long Haul network applications. AMCC will be promoting the Yahara family at the OFC/NFOEC Convention, booth #3015, from March 24 to March 26 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, Calif. The Yahara devices are designed specifically for the highly-integrated, low cost and low power requirements of Multi-Service Transport, Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) and Metro/Core switch router applications. The family of devices represents AMCC's fifth generation of integrated local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), and optical transport network (OTN) silicon solutions. The Yahara product family builds on the success of AMCC's MetrON product family by extending Edge and Metro Carrier Ethernet features into Metro and Long Haul Optical Network applications. By providing additional modes of 10G to OTU-2 mapping features and incorporating a second 10G Phy into the Yahara product line, AMCC provides telecom original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with unmatched levels of power, space and cost savings for OTU-2 transponder and regenerator applications. As carrier service providers continue their migration away from traditional SONET/SDH based services to lower cost 10G optical services, Yahara enables telecom OEMs to build flexible and cost-effective platforms to map exploding volumes of Ethernet traffic directly onto optical transport networks. By offering three packages supporting 10G "AnyRate" protocols, the Yahara is ideally suited for a variety of blade applications including 10G client/line cards, 10G transponders/muxponder cards, 10G regenerator cards, and 40G to 100G muxponder applications.
