The 2021 Online Seminar of the Global Optoelectronic Industry has been held. Co-hosted by the International Photonics & Electronics Committee (IPEC) and China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE) and co-organized by the European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC), the theme was ‘unleash the potential of optoelectronics, drive standards and industry advancement.’
Source Photonics has closed more than $100 million in equity to support its growing data centre and 5G business. The funding will be used to increase the scale of the company’s operations.
Source Photonics has launched the XGS-PON N2 OLT optical module, which it claims is the first in the market to offer a universal upgrade path from existing GPON networks to next-generation XGS-PON networks.
The new transceiver meets the N2 class maximum optical link budget of 31dB in the XGS-PON standard G.9807.1, thus providing operators with a single module that supports the upgrade of both B+ and C+ class GPON networks to XGS-PON.
