MultiPhy boosts 100 Gig direct-detection using digital signal processing

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.

Webinar: MultiPhy on the 100G Direct Detect market

Gazettabyte has hosted a webinar with Israeli semiconductor firm MultiPhy. Entitled The Emerging 100 Gigabit Metro & Datacenter Connectivity Opportunity, the webinar includes:

• An Ovum market forecast for 100 Gigabit Direct Detect to 2015
• The changes in the network creating demand for 100 Gigabit Direct Detect optical transport
• Emerging operator and vendor backing for the technology
• MultiPhy’s IC technology and its 100 Gigabit Direct Detect solution
• The performance metrics of 100 Gigabit Direct Detect

"An internet giant is now firmly committed to an 80km pluggable solution. And if it is 80km and pluggable we know it is not coherent"

Neal Neslusan, MultiPhy

Presenting the webinar for MultiPhy is Neal Neslusan, vice president of sales and marketing.

Visiting Israeli start-up MultiPhy at its office in Ness Ziona, near Rehovot, involves dancing around boxes. “We are about to move,” apologises Ronen Weinberg, director of product management at MultiPhy. But the company will not have to travel far. It is crossing buildings in the same Ness Ziona Science Park, moving in next to Finisar’s Israeli headquarters.
