shenzhen, china, november 29, 2017 − today, gigalight announced the opening of its new mass production facility for high performance and optical transceivers.
the development of data centers has led to increasing demand for 100g high density qsfp optical interconnects such as qsfp28 cwdm4/psm4 optical transceivers. while a number of companies are transitioning from r&d samples to production, only a handful of companies are in a position to produce these transceivers in high volume with consistent quality and reliability. leveraging several years of research and development in chip on board(cob) technology and third-generation hybrid hermetic encapsulation, the gigalight 100g qsfp28 cwdm4/psm4 modules with superior quality and reliability are now being introduced to the market.
the cwdm4 and psm4 transceivers are maunfactured in gigalight new 20,000 sqft., class 10,000 clean room. multiple high precision fully-automated wire and die bond machines as well as internally developed automated testingstations ensure high quality and efficient manufacturing.initial production rate of 20,000 units per month will be increase over the month to come.
in 2011, with the continuing trends towards larger and larger data centers, gigalight launched active optical cables (aocs) to address the massive demand from datacenters in china. gigalight continued on the path with successful launch of many products such as the 100g aoc, 100g sr4/lr4 optical transceivers, 200g qsfp-dd sr8 optical transceiver and 200g aoc.
this latest announcement of 100g cwdm4/psm4 optical modules mass production exemplifies gigalight's leading edge expertise in key technologies such as cob, free space optics design, awg packaging and hybrid hermetic encapsulation techniques. these core competencies enable gigalight to introduce market ready products using silicon or advanced electro-optic technology platforms.
gigalight is a global optical interconnection design innovator that designs, manufactures and supplies optical transceivers, active optical cables and coherent optical modules for data center network, 5g wireless network, optical transmission network, and broadcast video network. the company takes the advantages of exclusive design to provide customers with one-stop cost-effective optical network devices.
