ClariPhy Communications, an innovator of ultra-high speed mixed signal, digital signal processing (MXSP) system-on-chip (SoC) solutions for coherent optical networks has declared that ClariPhy’s LightSpeed coherent SoC has been selected by NEC for integrating it into optical transceiver modules.
The company’s innovative LightSpeed CL4010 SoC is the first single chip CMOS solution of the industry that can install coherent optical networks of 40 Gbps.
The introduction of an advanced DSP-based modulation techniques contributed to an accelerated development of coherent optical transmission technology, which represents a transition pattern in optical networking. As a result, the ability and extent of fiber networks will be increased. The LightSpeed CL4010 of ClariPhy is the first application specific standard product (ASSP) globally for coherent optical transmission. This solution will therefore allow module suppliers like NEC to cater to the operators’ growing demand for 40G coherent deployments.
The LightSpeed CL4010 facilitates standard Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) form factors from module suppliers, showing advanced integration and minimal power consumption when compared to alternate solutions. The LightSpeed CL4010 will allow ultra-long haul transmission of over 3,000 km besides providing maximum spectral efficiency for metro and long haul networks.
The CEO of ClariPhy Communications, Nariman Yousefi says that an open ecosystem for extended industry compatibility and superior optical performance will result from the latest achievement of the first global single chip 40G coherent ASSP.
Along with NEC, ClariPhy will exhibit and introduce the LightSpeed CL4010 SoC –based optical transceiver modules of NEC at The Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition (OFC/NFOEC) from March 5 to 8, 2012 in Los Angeles.
