Optillion's new 10 GigE Long Reach Transceivers Enables Less Expensive Solutions than SONET OC192 Ports; 10 GigE replaces 10 x 1GigE or OC192 80 km long reach links.Business Editors STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 10, 2004 Optillion, a leader in high-speed fiber-optic transceiver technology, today announced it has extended its line of 10 GigE XENPAK modules with the introduction of its new 10GBASE-DWDM module, the TOP 8080, and its 10GBASE-ZR module, the TOP 5080. With a range of 80 km, these enable 10 GigE to be a cost-efficient transport alternative to SONET OC192 long haul links over dark single-mode fiber. For high bandwidth applications, such as video-on-demand (VoD), these transceivers enable content distribution between cities up to 80 km, as an alternative to high-capacity satellite links and OC192 transport. The TOP 8080 and TOP 5080 provide high-speed serial link signaling at an optical data rate of 10.3 Gbps, and the TOP 8080 has 1550 nm DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing wavelengths as specified by ITU-T See ITU. ITU-T - International Telecommunications Union at 100 GHz channel spacing. Deploying lower cost Ethernet routers and switches decreases the need for equipment with expensive Packet-over-SONET OC192 data conversion interfaces. "We are very happy to enable the lower cost Ethernet deployment by expanding our 10GigE pluggable XENPAK family with long reach transceivers and DWDM capabilities" said Optillion's CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey. Patrik Evaldsson. For manufacturers of high-end switches, routers, and test equipment, Optillion offers the largest number of various pluggable optical interfaces for 10 Gbps Ethernet XENPAK for single-mode fiber. In addition to the new modules, Optillion offers 10km 10GBASE-LR, 40km 10GBASE-ER, and WAN PHY See physical layer and physical. 10GBASE-LW. The latter module, demonstrated at the recent OFC OFC Office OFC Officer OFC Of Course OFC Oxygen Free Copper OFC Oceania Football Confederation (soccer) OFC Optical Fiber Cable OFC Optical Fiber Communications OFC Optical Fiber Conference Exhibit, is a price attractive POS (1) See point of sale and packet over SONET.

Optillion will sample the 10GBASE-DWDM transceivers to additional customers in July. Volume production ramp-up will be later in the third quarter of 2004. The 10GBASE-ZR module will be in production during the fourth quarter. Both transceivers complies to and provide capabilities beyond the 10 Gbps Ethernet standard IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.3 and the XENPAK multi-source agreement.
