GigOptix books $1.5 million order for undersea optical drivers

PALO ALTO, USA: GigOptix Inc., a leading provider of electronic engines for the optically connected digital world, announced the booking of a $1.46M purchase order for its ultra long reach Mach-Zehnder Modulator (MZM) drivers.

The order, from a large European customer for undersea optical network cable drivers, is to be delivered in full during the second half of 2009.

“Despite the difficult market conditions, we see a continued healthy demand for our long reach and ultra long reach drivers for terrestrial and undersea optical cable links greater than 500 km. Our drivers, with integrated encoders for 10Gb/s RZ and RZ-DPSK modulation formats, are valued for their superior performance and offer the best jitter specifications in the market,” states Padraig O’Mathuna, Director of Product Marketing at GigOptix.

“This new order brings our expected 2009 sales to this customer to more than $3.5 million,” he added.
