InnoLight's New Pluggable Module Powered by
Marvell Deneb Coherent DSP Underscores Companies' Commitment to
Driving 10G to 100G Transition
SANTA
CLARA, Calif., Sept. 20,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) and
InnoLight today announced the general availability of InnoLight's
first 100G QSFP-DD optical module portfolio for 5G backhaul and
aggregation applications. The new InnoLight coherent module family,
powered by the Marvell® Deneb™ Coherent DSP (CDSP), is
the latest collaboration in the companies' longstanding strategic
relationship to bring innovative optical transceivers across
multiple form factors to market. The entry of InnoLight, one of the
largest optical transceiver manufacturers in the world, into the
100G QSFP-DD optical module market is accelerating the transition
of 10G to 100G coherent WDM solutions.
With wireless traffic and data center bandwidth both growing at
approximately 40% per year1, carriers are driving a
transition from 10G NRZ to 100G coherent solutions in backhaul and
access infrastructure. Coherent technology maximizes capacity per
fiber by 10x compared to 10G NRZ solutions. This gives carriers and
service providers an opportunity to increase their capacity
relatively quickly, lower their cost and power per bit and lay a
foundation for the next decade. 100G coherent solutions also offer
the flexibility to extend the reach of 10G NRZ solutions by more
than 5x.
The InnoLight 100G QSFP-DD optical modules with Marvell's Deneb
CDSP enables carriers to leverage their existing ROADM fiber
infrastructure in the transition to high-performance
next-generation networks. With the upgrade to 100G, carriers can
offer a better end user experience as well as support for unabated
data traffic growth with superior network economics.
"InnoLight's Deneb-based module offers the ability for carrier
customers to seamlessly upgrade their networks to meet increasing
bandwidth requirements while expanding their market with minimal
investment," said Samuel Liu, Sr.
Director, Product Line Management at Marvell. "Through our
strategic collaboration with InnoLight, this latest production
milestone of the 100G QSFP-DD optical module is accelerating the
10G to 100G transition in aggregation networks to enable
performance and flexibility advantages across the ecosystem."
"The launch of our 100G QSFP-DD coherent optics product line
with Marvell's Deneb CDSP is exciting in that it will drive a whole
new ecosystem of standards-based small form factor coherent
pluggable modules," said Osa Mok,
Chief Marketing Officer, InnoLight. "Our collaboration with Marvell
will help enable massively scalable bandwidth for carriers
transitioning to 100G networks."
"Cignal AI has highlighted the need for a 100Gbps coherent
optical solution at the edge of the network for the past two
years," said Scott Wilkinson, Lead
Analyst for Optical Components at Cignal AI. "There is enormous
potential for growth as 100Gbps coherent upgrades the millions of
10Gbps DWDM transceivers currently deployed at the edge.
Deneb-enabled standardized 100Gbps optical modules will accelerate
this transition as the industry eagerly pursues solutions with the
performance, price, and form factors necessary to implement 100Gbps
coherent at the edge."
The InnoLight 100G QSFP-DD coherent module with transmission
distance from 80km to 1000km with the Marvell Deneb Coherent DSP
(CDSP) is being showcased at Marvell's booth (#219) and InnoLight's
booth (#508) at ECOC in Basel,
Switzerland, September 19-21,
2022.
