prior history of both providing high performance solutions and delivering on our commitments, we were chosen as a preferred partner to deliver drivers into their 100G platform.”
“The demand for 100G transport technology in long-haul networks is being driven by telecom service providers seeking to handle increased customer traffic and bandwidth demands in a cost effective manner. The telecom industry has embraced 100G DP-QPSK DWDM optical network transport since it provides a cost effective system solution and system vendors are now developing and beginning to deliver 100G products,” added Padraig O’Mathuna, VP of Marketing of GigOptix. “Deployment has been accelerated by internet content providers demanding more bandwidth to support the surge of data traffic being driven by their large data centers. We are delighted to be supporting our customers at the forefront of this important network evolution.”
In their most recent report on 100G components, Ovum forecasted that the 100G DP-QPSK DWDM lineside market would launch in 2010 and grow to over 16000 units by 2015 with a CAGR of 140%.
Skyworks 2009 Sustainability Report
Skyworks Solutions, Inc has announced that it has released its 2009 Sustainability Report
Skyworks Solutions, Inc., an innovator of high reliability analog and mixed signal semiconductors enabling a broad range of end markets, has announced that it has released its 2009 Sustainability Report, a voluntary document that addresses the company’s commitment to operating under business practices which help protect the needs of future generations and minimize its environmental impact. The report also highlights improvements Skyworks has made in multiple areas, ranging from environmental to labor, health and safety, ethics, and business
management systems.
Since 2005, the initial reporting year, Skyworks has improved energy efficiency by 26 percent, water efficiency by 44 percent, and hazardous waste efficiency by 84 percent. Carbon dioxide emissions per production unit have also decreased by 10 percent from 2005 levels, with further efficiency improvements expected in the coming years, particularly given the shift in 2009 away from manufacturing processes that use the most greenhouse gases.
At a higher level, in 2009 more than 99 percent of Skyworks’ product sold was environmentally preferred, or products that meet lead (Pb)- free and restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) standards, among a host of other global regulatory requirements. In addition, the company’s sustainability programs continue to be aligned with the multiple requirements of the Electronics Industry Code of Conduct (EICC).
“Skyworks’ 2009 Sustainability Report demonstrates that smart, sustainable business practices also make good business sense,” said Bruce J. Freyman, Skyworks’ vice president of worldwide operations.
“While many of our customers require their supply chain partners to maintain robust sustainability programs, Skyworks often exceeds these requirements, even as we continue to grow our business. Our goal is to ensure that we operate in a sustainable and successful manner - respecting people and the environment.”
