Currently in production, the Tri-Edge™ GN2256 supports 50 Gbps PAM4 deployments suitable for 5G front haul deployments.
Camarillo, California, March 26, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leader in high-performance semiconductors, IoT systems and cloud connectivity services, today announces the latest innovations shaping the future of 5G and paving the way to 6G. Did. Semtech highlights his Tri-Edge™ GN2256 for 50G DWDM applications along with its extensive 5G wireless portfolio, setting new standards in the communications industry and creating smarter, more connected networks with next-generation networks. We are facilitating the global transition to a more modern world.
Recent insights from Ericsson highlight the pivotal role of DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing) technology in increasing network capacity. DWDM maximizes data throughput by cleverly multiplexing multiple wavelengths through a single optical fiber, effectively addressing the critical issue of fiber scarcity while meeting rapidly increasing data transmission demands. This technology strategy significantly reduces the need for additional fiber, facilitates high-speed radio access network (RAN) connectivity, and ensures robust support for an increasingly data-driven world. This discussion will also focus on the strategic use of both C-band and O-band spectrum within DWDM systems to address various network requirements, from transmission distance to signal loss mitigation. I am. Semtech is at the forefront of this innovation, developing chips that enhance the performance and bandwidth capabilities of DWDM systems. These advances will help build communications networks that are not only scalable, but can handle exponential growth in data traffic, paving the way for future-proof digital infrastructure.
Tri-Edge CDR ICs are purpose-built for the rapidly growing 50Gbps DWDM market and are at the forefront of innovation by supporting EML, MZM lasers, and silicon photonic optics. This emphasizes that he GN2256 plays a pivotal role in defining the future of high-speed data transmission. Thanks to its cutting-edge features, the GN2256 has become the industry’s de facto standard for enabling 5G advanced architectures and the preferred solution among partners. This heralds a new era of connectivity that promises unparalleled efficiency and reliability for tomorrow’s telecommunications networks.
At the upcoming OFC exhibition, Semtech will be unveiling the capabilities of the Tri-Edge GN2256 as a standout demonstration at booth #5301. This showcase integrates Sumitomo Electric’s 50Gbps EML into his SFP56 50Gbs DWDM module for O-band, illustrating the breakthrough in the deployment of high-speed, cost-effective optical solutions. This demo highlights the seamless integration of SFP56 50Gbps DWDM into his SFP56 format for O-band, paving the way for quick and economical deployment. This innovative collaboration is currently gaining traction within the MOPA (Mobile Optical Pluggable Alliance) community, of which Semtech and Sumitomo Electric are proud founding members, demonstrating our commitment to advancing optical communications technology. I’m emphasizing. “Using Semtech’s Tri-Edge CDR IC and Sumitomo EML, we can achieve excellent link sensitivity at wavelengths up to 1354nm. This allows us to aggregate 48 channels spaced at 100GHz in the O-band. ,” said James Kannan, Metro/Access Segment Leader. , at Sumitomo Electric Device Innovations. Our combined efforts enable our customers to easily and cost-effectively deploy and quickly implement.
“We are proud to be chosen as the solution of choice for new technology solutions and problem-solving solutions for real-world industry use cases that will enable the path to 5G-A and 6G.The market need for 50Gbps modules is , we expect deployments to begin towards the end of 2024, with the introduction of 5G-A baseband systems and complex, massive MIMO radio units,” said Semtech’s Director of Wireless Marketing, Signal Integrity Product Group. said Raza Khan.
The strategic importance of this development cannot be overstated, as it directly contributes to bridging the digital divide, fostering economic growth and enabling innovative services in underserved areas. Semtech advances communications technology in an inclusive, sustainable and future-proof manner, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the benefits of 5G-A and 6G, regardless of geographic and infrastructure constraints. I’m working on doing that.
From bidirectional 50Gbps PAM4 CDRs with integrated drivers to 50Gbps linear PAM4 TIAs, Semtech is at the forefront of delivering the foundational technology needed for the global transition to 5G and beyond.
