“We are seeing burgeoning demand for high speed data services in New Zealand, impacted by the growing trend towards the use of cloud based services and an insatiable demand for content from customers of the ISP’s that rely on our backhaul services,” says David Heald, CEO at FX Networks.
“We expect this to continue and accelerate with the ongoing deployment of Ultra Fast Broadband (UFB) access services throughout most of New Zealand. The deployment of Infinera’s DTN-X platform is a crucial part of our strategy to provide uncontended, reliable, cost effective data services between New Zealand’s UFB Points of Interconnect, which are becoming the key locations for data aggregation in New Zealand,” he adds.
“The partnership with FX Networks to deploy this massive optical network across New Zealand is a significant change for this country,” says Steve Cotter, CEO of REANNZ. “With the Infinera super-channels we will be able to offer up to 100GbE services providing our scientific community with the fastest network technology available today, putting them on a level playing field with the rest of the world.”
“Infinera is pleased to work with our in-country partner Dimension Data to deliver and support this multi-terabit optical network across New Zealand for FX Networks and REANNZ,” Andrew Bond Webster, VP Sales, APAC, for Infinera, comments. “The Intelligent Transport Network offers differentiated services while reducing operating costs through scale, multi-layer convergence and automation, enabling high-capacity services to be delivered quickly throughout the country.”
FX Networks is deploying an Intelligent Transport Network to scale network capacity, automate operations and reduce complexity by converging multi-layer switching with the industry’s only commercially available 500 Gb/s coherent super-channel transmission. The Infinera DTN-X is designed to scale without compromise to enable future upgrades to terabit super-channels and Terabit Ethernet.
Boston University at war with Apple for GaN patent infringement
The university has filed a patent against the consumer electronics giant. The patent relates to a method of growing insulating monocrystalline gallium nitride thin films using MBE
On July 2nd 2013, the trustees of Boston University filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Apple, Inc. in
86
www.compoundsemiconductor.net July 2013
The lawsuit refers to infringement of the United States Patent 5,686,738, “Highly insulating monocrystalline gallium nitride thin films”. The patent relates to a method of preparing highly insulating GaN single crystal films in a MBE growth chamber. The patent was filed by Theodore D. Moustakas, a professor at the University of Boston (BU) and was granted in November 1997.
Several sources say that Apple has used the technology in its iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air and that Boston University wants compensation and may even request halting future shipments of these devices.
Anadigics extends InGaP small-cell PA series
The new power amplifiers use the firm’s proprietary indium gallium phosphide technology. They offer a combination of efficiency, linearity, output power, and thermal performance for small-cell base stations
Anadigics has introduced two new power amplifiers (PAs) optimised for WCDMA, HSPA, and LTE small-cell applications. These include picocells, enterprise-class femtocells, and high-performance customer premises equipment (CPE).
The AWB7122 and AWB7124 operate in the 1805 MHz to 1880 MHz and 728 MHz to 768 MHz frequency band, respectively, delivering excellent integration and performance. This helps manufacturers to develop compact wireless infrastructure solutions that consume less power and provide higher throughput with greater coverage.
