ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., March 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Skorpios Technologies, Inc., a fabless integrated silicon photonics system on a chip company, today announced the demonstration of a 100G QSFP28 transceiver utilizing Skorpios' Template Assisted Bonding (STAB) process. In this product, the lasers, modulators, detectors and optical multiplexer/de-multiplexer are monolithically integrated into a single die using the STAB process, providing customers with cost, size and power benefits unachievable with any alternative technologies.

"We are delighted to be demonstrating our QSFP28 at OFC this year," stated Alfredo Viglienzoni, SVP Sales, Marketing and Business Development. "With our unique integration approach, we can build solutions such as this product, which meet the increasing challenges of bandwidth growth within data centers. This is particularly attractive for those customers who have to operate within fixed infrastructure constraints to minimize capex."

"The Skorpios QSFP28 underscores our ability to integrate higher level module solutions based on our STAB process. It operates without active cooling, and has a reach of up to 10km, making it ideal for the mega-scale architectures which are emerging to support cutting edge services," commented Glenn Li, VP Engineering, Enterprise. "This product represents our first step towards multi-Tb/s interconnect bandwidth with small footprint, low power consumption, and low cost. Our high-speed WDM solutions enable bandwidth increase by better utilizing and without altering the existing cabling structure, thus offering a low- barrier, future-proof upgrade path."

Skorpios invites customers to meet at the Optical Fiber Communications Conference (OFC) in San Francisco, March 9 – 13th, 2013. Please contact John Trainor (+44-118-973-3444) or Alfredo Viglienzoni (+1-323-823-9760) to arrange further discussions, and schedule a demonstration.
