are data generation, formatting, and checking. When used with external traffic sources and destinations (as in an operational data network) its primary roles are classification, storage, retrieval, and transmission (according to a user-specified scheduling policy),
Opticomp’s TRX-04-950-15 module transmits (and receives) 40 Gb/s traffic over a single multimode fiber – in the form of four wavelengths of 10 Gb/s each. The transceiver incorporates 4 VCSELs, 4 PIN photodiode detectors, a CWDM multiplexer/ coupler, and a CWDM demultiplexer/coupler – all in a convenient, compact assembly.
The fully programmable development system is the result of a close and productive collaboration between the two companies – each bringing its own unique expertise to the project.
Achronix is a fabless corporation based in San Jose, California. Achronix claims its Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are the world’s fastest and are capable of up to 1.5 GHz peak performance.
Opticomp develops communication products and is based in Zephyr Cove, Nevada. The firm designs and fabricates high performance integrated optoelectronics for high speed switching and data processing applications, as well as optical network technology for fault-tolerant, self-routing, and contentionless networks.
Achronix and Opticomp working together have set the standard for high-throughput digital transport and processing. The 120 Gb/s multiport system (expandable to 160 Gb/s) can be used with individual optical modules or with multiple 40Gb/s optical paths connected together into a network.
The Achronix-Opticomp solution was demonstrated at the AMAPS XI (Advanced Microelectronics and Photonics for Space) conference in Lake Tahoe, June 8-11, 2010.
The Bridge100 System and development tools are available now.
Sunovia Hires Art Buckland as Chief Executive Officer
With 24 years of experience and a winner of “Entrepreneur of the Year” award, Buckland has served on many public company boards. He has raised $175 million in private and public capital while starting nine companies and turned around seven companies.
Sunovia Energy Technologies, a clean-tech company specializing in LED lighting and solar technologies, has employed Art Buckland as the company’s Chief Executive Officer effective September 7, 2010.
Buckland’s leadership has resulted in corporate turnarounds, hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue growth, billion-dollar increases in book value, IPOs and LBOs. He has raised $175 million in private and public capital while starting nine companies, completed 36 M&A transactions worth over $1.45 billion, and turned around seven companies.
He has 24 years of experience serving on public company boards and has led profitable growth and innovation in energy and clean tech for many years. He guided some of the first developments of Smart Meters in the 1980s, using his semiconductor background working with a diverse array of utility companies and municipalities.
Buckland received the “Entrepreneur of the Year” award (from NASDAQ, Ernst & Young, Sprint, USA Today, and others) for his work with CP Clare, where he grew a small $5 million failing semiconductor company to $147 million of annual revenue in three years. The IPO at CP Clare resulted in a 122% IRR for investors.
Recently, in his two years at Soliant Energy, Buckland pioneered the development of a strategic vision for the next generation of solar panels that could generate distributed electricity at utility costs without government subsidies.
Buckland brings broad experience in operations and governance to Sunovia. His industry experience spans renewable/solar and traditional energy companies (Schlumberger, Enertec, Solartron and Soliant), advanced semiconductors (CP Clare, Texas Instruments, Engim, and Fairchild), supply
