MOU Between ATOP and Intel: Co-Develop 1.6T and 800G 2*FR4 Silicon Photonics Optical Transceivers Based on Intel Silicon Photonics Chips

ATOP and Intel have entered into a collaborative effort to advance the development of 1.6T silicon photonics transceivers. This partnership will focus on the creation of 800G 2*FR4 silicon photonics transceiver PIC wafers, aiming to enhance solutions for cutting-edge AI applications and high-speed data center networks. Intel, with its status as a top semiconductor company worldwide, contributes its extensive expertise in silicon photonics chip design and manufacturing. ATOP, known for being at the forefront of optical transceiver and device production, brings its seasoned experience in silicon photonics transceiver design and fabrication. The cooperation stipulates that both companies will combine their research and development, as well as market resources, to harness their collective strengths for the joint development of high speed silicon photonics transceivers tailored for the end customers.

Moreover, at the OFC2024, ATOP plans to showcase its 800G DR8 and 400G DR4 silicon photonics transceivers. Dr. Toshi K. Uchida, ATOP’s chief scientist, will also deliver a speech on 200 per Lane to 1.6T optical transceivers at OFC2024.

There are over 1.3 billion fixed broadband users worldwide, with over 50% of users already using FTTH. PON is an important system for providing high-speed internet, and its technology greatly reduces the cost of network construction and maintenance compared to traditional networks, with its usage continuing to rise. At this year’s FTTH exhibition, ATOP also showcased PON series products, including GPON OLT, XGS PON OLT, XG COMBO PON OLT, XGS COMBO PON OLT, GPON ONU, and XGS PON ONU etc. As an important component of broadband access network architecture, they play a crucial role in providing users with high-speed data and video services, providing on-demand network construction advantages based on specific network requirements, helping customers reduce network construction and maintenance costs, and building green networks that are energy-efficient and reduce emissions. The following diagram can give you a quick understanding of the application of ATOPu2019s PON modules in broadband access network architecture.
