SAN JOSE, Calif., March 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) today announced that its
All Programmable Optical Transport Network (OTN) IP Subsystems were
recognized by the 2016 Lightwave Innovation Reviews with a score of
four out of five possible points for technical excellence.
The IP subsystems support 100G and Beyond 100G (B100G) transponder,
muxponder, and switching OTN applications. They are pre-constructed
by Xilinx with different IP blocks and have gone through extensive
system level testing on Xilinx's UltraScale™ and UltraScale+™
families of FPGAs. Designers can modify or simply instantiate these
subsystems to fit different needs, realizing an ASIC/ASSP-like
design experience with much higher levels of flexibility and
differentiation.

The Lightwave Innovation Reviews program, presented annually by
Lightwave, distinguishes the top products and solutions available
within the optical networking industry as determined by an
independent panel of third-party fiber optics experts. Judges
include industry executives and analysts from a wide variety of
service providers, technology developers, industry analysts and
journalists.
"Congratulations to Xilinx for scoring four in the Lightwave
Innovation Reviews this year," said Lightwave Group Publisher,

The Xilinx All Programmable OTN IP Subsystems were called out as
an outstanding technical achievement providing technical features
and performance that deliver clear and substantial benefits. The
Xilinx OTN subsystem portfolio enables network equipment providers
to focus on end-product innovation and differentiation while
reducing time-to-market and total cost of ownership.
"Being cited for technical excellence by optics experts in the
area of networking is important to us as we strive to create all
programmable solutions developed from the ground up for engineers
designing networking systems and accelerated data center
applications," said Gilles Garcia,
director of wired communications at Xilinx. "We are very proud that
our OTN subsystems are enabling easier adoption and accessibility
of FPGAs and SoCs while expanding the possibilities for next
generation system designs."
Xilinx will be demonstrating its OTN subsystem solutions at OFC
