Monday, May 13, 2013 at 8:03AM Kaiam Corp. has secured US $16M in C-round funding and completed the acquisition of Gemfire.
"We have a micro-machine technology that allows us to use standard pick-and-place electronic assembly tools, and with our micro-machine, we achieve sub-micron alignment tolerances suitable for single-mode applications"
Byron Trop, Kaiam
Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 9:43AM Effdon Networks has demonstrated a 100 Gigabit CFP module with an 80km reach; a claimed industry first. The company has also developed the Qbox, a 1 rack unit (1RU) extended reach platform capable of 400-800 Gigabit-per-second (Gbps) with a reach of 80-200km.
Effdon's CFP does not require the use of external DWDM multiplexing/ demultiplexing and can be added directly onto a router. Source: Effdon Networks
Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 6:22PM Kotura has announced a 100 Gigabit QSFP with a reach of 2km.
“QSFP will be the long-term winner at 100 Gig; the same way QSFP has been a high volume winner at 40 Gig”
Arlon Martin, Kotura

"We’ve entered the next decade for real: the mobile world is unified around LTE and moving to LTE Advanced, complete with small cells and heterogenous networks including Wi-Fi."
Sunday, November 6, 2011 at 3:35PM Briefing: 100 Gigabit
Part 2: Interview
Gazettabyte spoke to John D'Ambrosia about 100 Gigabit technology
John D'Ambrosia, chair of the IEEE 100 Gig backplane and copper cabling task force
John D'Ambrosia laughs when he says he is the 'father of 100 Gig'.
He spent five years as chair of the IEEE 802.3ba group that created the 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) standards. Now he is the chair of the IEEE task force looking at 100 Gig backplane and copper cabling. D'Ambrosia is also chair of the Ethernet Alliance and chief Ethernet evangelist in the CTO office of Dell's Force10 Networks.
“People are also starting to talk about moving data operations around the network based on where electricity is cheapest”
Monday, September 19, 2011 at 6:56PM MultiPhy has detailed its 100 Gigabit direct-detection receiver IC for use in a pluggable CFP optical module addressing the metro market.
The MP1100Q chip is being aimed at two cost-conscious metro networking requirements: 100 Gigabit point-to-point links and dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) metro networks.

Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 11:59AM ADVA Optical Networking has launched a 100 Gigabit transmission card designed for metro wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) applications.
The firm claims this is an industry first: a direct-detection-based 100 Gigabit-per-second (Gbps) design using four, 28Gbps channels rather than current 10x10Gbps schemes.
"Data centre operators want to make best use of the fibre insfrastructure and get lower overall cost, footprint and power consumption"
