Single-Chip, Dual 100G Transponder unveiled
Altera Corporation has announced the single-chip, dual 100G transponder solution implemented in a 28-nm high-performance Stratix V FPGA. Altera's solution integrates two independent 100G transponders into a single FPGA, enabling optical equipment manufacturers to keep pace with network performance and bandwidth demands while lowering capital costs. A live hardware demonstration of Altera's dual 100G transponder solution will be shown in its booth at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition/National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference 2012 (OFC/NFOEC) in Los Angeles the week of March 5.
Altera's single-chip, dual 100G transponder simplifies the move by carrier and service providers to higher-density 100G transport by providing a fully integrated standards-based solution. The solution leverages the enhanced performance of Stratix V FPGAs and industry-leading OTN IP to increase the density of 100G transport solutions beyond the capability of any other ASSP-or FPGA-based solution in the industry. Altera's latest FPGA-based OTN offerings includee 28-nm high-performance silicon optimized for transport applications, industry-leading high-speed transceivers and OTN system IP.
"Altera is committed to supporting optical transport networks with our leading-edge FPGAs, best-in-class transceiver technology and OTN IP. Our production-grade, single-chip 100G transponder is deployed today in top-tier carrier networks. With our dual 100G transponder solution we are able to deliver density that is unachievable with current solutions and puts us on the path to support data rates of 400G and beyond,"said Dan Mansur, senior director, strategic marketing, Altera's Communications Business Unit.
