news digest ♦ compound semiconductor ♦ product news Urban Solar makes a transit to Save
SAVE and Urban Solar join hands to go green, coupling LED technology with solar power for transit lighting applications
SAVE installs and supports services in the transit and transportation industries.
“SAVE’s encounter in solar and electrical design is strong, unique and well suited to serve the Transit industry. SAVE serves Texas and the entire South West. Furthermore, like Urban Solar, SAVE specializes in the transit industry.” Said Jeff Peters, Urban Solar’s C.E.O.
“This focus, allows us to maintain industry leading products, while delivering exceptional customer service. This partnership is a strong statement in support of our PV-Stop and PV- Shelter solar powered lighting products. We look forward to a collaborative, long term relationship with SAVE “, he added.
North Texan based SAVE Electronics President, Tim Boyd said “SAVE is excited and motivated to support Urban Solar and their solar powered LED lighting solutions for the transit industry. Urban Solar exemplifies the type of manufacturer SAVE is dedicated to work with – all ears, engineered solution oriented manufacturer obsessed by customer deliverables and inputs.”
Infinera begins new era with 100G
New program includes plans for the shipment of systems based on 100 Gigabits/second (100G) coherent transmission in 2012 and optical networks providing 8 Terabits/second (Tb/s) of capacity per fiber.
Infinera is accelerating its product development plans for next-generation optical systems to take advantage of evolving market trends and technological advances in product
80
www.compoundsemiconductor.net June 2010 development.
The new 100G systems will be based on photonic integrated circuits (PICs) which integrate the functionality of hundreds of optical devices to provide optical capacity on a single pair of chips at 500G (referred to as 500G PICs).
With photonic integration and coherent detection, the systems will deliver an optical system with ultra-long-haul reach and a fiber capacity of 8Tb/s.
Infinera is also planning to add non-PIC based coherent capability to its DTN (Delay-Tolerant Networking) system in 2011, to meet the needs of customers who require a 40G solution.
Service providers worldwide have shown growing interest in 100G as the best step forward from today’s 10G networks. The interest in 100G is believed to be driven by the continuing growth in mobile, video, and other sources of network traffic, and a growing consensus that 100G networks will benefit from more rapid price reductions than the market has seen for 40G technology.
Infonetics analyst Andrew Schmitt said, “We expect 100G coherent technology to be widely available in the 2013 timeframe at price points that make it very competitive with 40G coherent technology, and we expect that many service providers will opt to go directly from 10G to 100G at that point, making 100G the predominant long-haul technology of the coming decade.”
The Infinera product development team has been working on both 40G and 100G technologies, including key optical and electrical enabling technologies. The recent achievement of a series of engineering milestones, such as Infinera’s recent successful transmission of a 100G signal over 1600 kilometers of fiber using coherent modulation technology, has enabled Infinera to accelerate its timetable for a 100G solution.
