Acacia Communications Sees Broad Adoption of Its Flex-Rate Technology
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Over 12 customers using Denali DSP-based coherent solutions
MAYNARD, Mass., Sept. 19, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acacia
Communications (NASDAQ:ACIA), a leading provider of high-speed coherent optical
interconnect products, today announced that more than 12 of its customers have
adopted coherent solutions based on Acacia's Dual-Core Flex-Rate Denali digital
signal processor (DSP) for applications in datacenter interconnect (DCI), metro,
long haul and submarine networks.
Using software-configurable modulation formats, including PM-QPSK, PM-8QAM, and
PM-16QAM, Acacia's Denali products support transmission speeds of 100G to 400G
which provides Acacia's customers with significant flexibility in coherent
applications. Denali's dual-core architecture supports high-density and high-
performance, and also enables transmission of 3 x 100G client signals with 2 x
150G optics using PM-8QAM modulation.
"We're excited by our customers' acceptance of our Denali-based products that
bring increased flexibility, density, and capacity to optical networks. We view
this level of customer adoption as a validation that we are developing the right
products for these market segments," said Acacia's Chief Technology Officer and
Founder Benny Mikkelsen.
"The performance of 150G PM-8QAM meets the majority of our long-haul
requirements with a higher spectral efficiency than 100G PM-QPSK and the same
optics," said Mark Filer, Senior Network Engineer, Azure Networking, Microsoft
Corp. "Using a common baud rate for all modulation formats, we can fit into
37.5GHz fixed-grid or colorless ROADM network applications."
Combining Acacia's Denali DSP with its silicon PIC technology in Acacia's AC400
Flex optical module product family allows Acacia's customers to leverage
Denali's performance and feature set with a completely integrated optical
subassembly, thus satisfying early time-to-market demands and minimizing system
development resources. Market adoption of Acacia's AC400 products has been
strong and Acacia has recently added a second contract manufacturer to address
its growing customer demand.
