MACOM Extends Leading Optical Portfolio with New Dual Channel Linear Transimpedance Amplifier

M/A-COM Technology Solutions (News - Alert) Inc. ("MACOM"), a leading supplier of high performance analog RF, microwave and optical semiconductor products, today announced the new MATA-003806, a dual channel linear transimpedance amplifier (TIA (News - Alert)) for next generation coherent receiver applications.

The MATA-003806 TIA has transimpedance gain which can be adjusted from 100? up to 10K? with manual and automatic gain control modes of operation. Input and output peak detectors are available for RSSI and AGC functionality. With excellent linearity and noise performance over the complete dynamic range, and power dissipation of 300mW per channel, the device is ideal for the next generation of micro-ICRs (Integrated Coherent Receivers) for metro applications at 100Gbps and beyond.

"These devices further complement MACOM's expanding optical portfolio," said Ray Moroney, Product Manager. "MACOM intends to expand on its leadership position in modulator drivers to provide industry leading solutions for optical receivers as well."

MACOM is leading supplier of optical networking products that enable the transition to 100G and beyond. By moving information from the core network to datacenters worldwide, MACOM has the deep product portfolio, technological capabilities and optical networking expertise to accelerate speed-to-market, by minimizing 10G-400G design and deployment.

Samples of MATA-003408 are available today and are being demonstrated at OFC 2015 in Los Angeles from the March 24^th - 26^th, 2015. Please visit booth 1947 at OFC and www.macom.com for more information.

Scaling Hyperscale in an Age of Exponential Growth and Virtualization

Over the past several years server, network, storage and application virtualization has revolutionized the way hyperscale data centers are built by consolidating workloads. The trend has simplified network architecture significantly and resulted in huge cost savings as well.

SDN can be the "GPS" Data Center Networks Need

Almost 30 years ago, I came to the USA to attend college, and in my early years as a student I spent every winter, spring and summer break traveling to different parts of this beautiful country.

How Fiber Mountain Future-Proofs Your Data Center

By now you most likely noticed that one of the topics I focus on continually is the problem data centers face today in meeting bandwidth needs. Until now, data centers were forced to purchase fire-breathing, million-dollar core switches to handle the growing volume of traffic, a solution that is both expensive and inefficient.

A Look Back on ITEXPO Miami

Last week, the members of the Fiber Mountain™ team who managed to make it out of the northeast before the nasty winter weather hit (apologies to our tradeshow and networking guru, Keith, who was not so fortunate) headed to Miami for Technology Marketing Corporation’s (TMC) business technology event, ITEXPO.

Join Fiber Mountain at ITEXPO for a Special Keynote

Another Fiber Mountain™ milestone is almost upon us, and the excitement is palpable around our Cheshire, CT office.

At 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, January 28 at ITEXPO Miami, I will be speaking with Rich Tehrani, CEO of Technology Marketing Corporation—host company for the biannual conference—in a “fireside chat” that will serve as one of the event’s keynotes.

From Las Vegas to Miami

Last August, a few members of the Fiber Mountain team, me included, flew to Las Vegas to take part in Technology Marketing Corporation’s ITEXPO conference at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas. I gave a brief talk at one of the conference’s collocated events, Software Telco Congress—the NFV and SDN event—introducing the tenets of Fiber Mountain’s message for the first time anywhere.

Fiber Mountain and Facebook Fabric Networks: Similarities and Differences

If you’ve been keeping up with data center network news—and if you’re reading this blog I assume you have been—you’ve probably read about Facebook’s new data center fabric. The company recently deployed this new architecture in a data center in Iowa with the goal of increasing scalability and flexibility, both of which are critical for an organization that handles a tremendous amount of network traffic.
