PMC's DIGI-G4 400G OTN Processor Receives Lightwave Innovation Award
PMC-Sierra (News - Alert), Inc. (PMC®) (Nasdaq:PMCS), the semiconductor and software
solutions innovator transforming networks that connect, move and store
big data, today announced it received the Lightwave Innovation Award for
its DIGI-G4
OTN processor, which enables the transition to 400G line cards on
packet optical equipment used in metro networks. DIGI-G4 earned an
impressive score of 4.5 out of 5, one of the highest scores awarded by
the judges. The 2015 Lightwave Innovation Awards judges comprised a
panel of industry experts, including service providers, technology
developers, industry analysts and journalists.
"Being SDN-ready is paramount for today's fiber networks, and the move
to 400G is not just on the horizon, it's becoming reality," said Tim
Hermes, group publisher, Lightwave. "The DIGI-G4 OTN processor proved
itself to the judges as a terrific option for OTN switching in metro
networks. A 4.5 score is rare, and truly marks what the judges feel can
be considered a 'best of breed'-class product."
PMC's DIGI-G4 is the industry's densest single-chip 4x100G OTN processor
with 50 percent less power per port than the previous generation. It
delivers the capacity, security and flexibility required for 400G line
cards in packet optical transport platforms (P-OTP), ROADM (News - Alert)/WDM and
optimized data center interconnect platforms (see infographic
and video).
"We would like to thank the Lightwave team for acknowledging the unique
value that our DIGI-G4 OTN processor brings to the industry," said Babak
Samimi, vice president of marketing and applications for PMC's
Communications Business Unit. "DII-G4 addresses the needs of an
SDN-ready, encrypted transport infrastructure, and it enables equipment
providers to scale their product portfolios to the highest capacities at
half the power per port. We're proud to be recognized for helping the
industry transition to 400G OTN switched metro networks."
DIGI-G4's industry-leading innovations include:
-
Industry's first single-chip 4x100G solution for OTN switched line
cards
-
Industry's first sub-wavelength OTN encryption solution to secure the
cloud
