"The quality of the entries across all the categories was
extremely high, resulting in a very compelling group of finalists,"
said Light Reading Editor-in-Chief Ray Le Maistre. "They also
reflect the ongoing innovation we're all witnessing in the
communications services and technology sectors."
The Leading Lights awards are the telecom industry's most
prestigious awards program and focus on next-generation
communications technologies, applications, services, and
strategies. This award is further validation of the transformation
Xilinx has made from a supplier of programmable logic to a
strategic partner for 'All Programmable' devices and design
solutions enabling smarter, connected and differentiated next
generation systems and networks. The impact of this
all-programmable portfolio on next-generation systems is most
visible in network communications, including emerging SDN and NFV
based networks, data center compute acceleration, storage and
networking, Nx100G and >400G OTN, 4G and pre-5G wireless radios
and backhaul. With this transition, Xilinx is delivering a
complete, All Programmable portfolio for service provider,
enterprise, and data center markets.
"Xilinx's innovation is being leveraged in a very wide range of
next generation systems and networks. Recently, we enabled the
industry's only single-chip solution for 500G OTN transponders and
announced collaboration with Huawei and Spirent on a 400GE core
router. JDSU and IXIA have also announced their 400GE test systems
based on Xilinx technology. Xilinx is enabling the majority of the
400GE line cards today, and is enabling the next generation
SDN/NFV, OTN, and data center applications for the future," said
Dan Mansur, Senior Director of Wired
Communications at Xilinx.
