Business Wire
Applied Micro Circuits Corp., or AppliedMicro (Nasdaq:AMCC),
today announced that it has shipped 1 million 10G Optical Transport
Network (OTN) ports to system providers, who face growing demand to
rapidly expand the capacity of metro and core transport
networks.
“OTN market adoption has reached a critical tipping point since
it was first proposed a decade ago as a replacement for SONET/SDH
technology in long-haul networks,” said Francesco Caggioni, Senior
Director of Strategic Marketing for AppliedMicro. “We see the trend
accelerating as all of our Tier-1 customers anticipate further OTN
deployments to transport the exploding volume of Internet traffic
over cost-effective, high-speed optical networks. We’ve seen our
market share increase as carriers and network system manufacturers
transform the Internet infrastructure to accommodate the
ever-growing demand for datacenter, enterprise, video and mobile
traffic.”
Recent market research shows that carrier OTN deployments are on
the rise due to the demand for higher capacity and lower costs.
Shipments of AppliedMicro System-on-Chip ports to manufacturers of
optical switch and routing equipment has risen by more than 50
percent over the last two years.
“A recent Infonetics survey indicates that a large percentage of
service providers are using OTN on their routers and they intend to
increase deployments over the next three years,” said Andrew
Schmitt, Directing Analyst, Optical for Infonetics Research.
“AppliedMicro strengthened its commitment to OTN with its recent
acquisition of TPACK, and can benefit from the transition
away from SONET/SDH technology towards OTN, a transition which is
accelerated by upcoming 40G and 100G deployments.”
AppliedMicro is one of the early pioneers of OTN and first
started shipping ports for this market in 2004 with its Rubicon
family of products. Since then, AppliedMicro’s Yahara, Pemaquid,
PQx and the recently introduced 100Gbps OTN transponder and
muxponder solutions have provided Tier-1 customers with increased
levels of integration for the continued expansion of network
capacity and switching speeds.
Following the market success of 10G OTN products such as
Rubicon, Yahara, and Pemaquid, AppliedMicro is continuing its
market leadership with the world’s most advanced 6x10G solution,
the PQ60 family. In addition, multiple Tier 1 customers have chosen
the industry’s first family of 100 Gigabit per second (100G)
optical network processors for the emerging 100G transport market.
AppliedMicro’s 100G OTN products provide the industry’s earliest
availability for transponder, muxponder, and cross-connect
applications. The company anticipates continued strong growth in
its shipments of OTN ports with these highly integrated and
flexible offerings.
