    GIGALIGHT Launches 48G-SDI Broadcast-Grade Video Optical Extender, Focusing On 8K Ultra HD Broadcast Market Applications
    Shenzhen, China, July 27, 2022 – With the vigorous growth of the 8K ultra-high-definition broadcast market, users are putting forward new demands for the extension transmission of 8K uncompressed SDI baseband video. For 8K applications, SDI interfaces usually adopts 4x12G SDI connections. In regards to this interface application, GIGALIGHT introduces 48G-SDI (4X12G) broadcast-grade video optical transceiver kit solution. This solution fulfills the requirement of transmitting 4 uncompressed 12G-SDI signals over a 20km single-mode fiber, enabling users to quickly deploy 8K uncompressed SDI baseband fiber extensions and simplifying user operations.
    GIGALIGHT’s 48G-SDI (4X12G) broadcast-grade video optical extender kit solution includes a transmitting optical transceiver, a receiving optical transceiver and two external power supplies. Each 12G-SDI channel is independent，the rate is backward compatible, and it is supporting any SDI working rate from 270Mbit/s to 12Gbit/s.

    GIGALIGHT Releases 400G Data Center Optical Interconnect Architecture Product Line
    Shenzhen, China, July 12, 2022 – The deployment of 100G/200G data centers has greatly increased the bandwidth value-added by the development of cloud computing technology. The pursuit of the optimal 400G data center model has always been the hot spot and focus of the industry. Relying on the positioning and development of 8-channel optics, silicon photonics technology and high-speed DAC, GIGALIGHT recently announced the completion of the R&D and mass production layout of two different architectures of 400G data center product lines, which are undoubtedly designed for different user needs.
    Architecture 1. Low-cost architecture based on 4-channel optics, silicon photonics technology and 100G PAM4 technology
    Architecture 2. Low-latency architecture based on 8-channel optics and 50G PAM4 technology
    There has been a lot of controversy about 400G data centers for some time. As the industry-wide technology in-depth exploration continues, the dust will be settled on most of the issues. Trust your judgment and let’s put faith in GIGALIGHT.

    Envisioning a New Era of Data Centers – GIGALIGHT 400G Silicon Photonics Wins CFCF2022 Product Innovation Award
    Shenzhen, China, Jul 7, 2022 – The award ceremony of China Fiber Connect Forum ended successfully in Nanjing Huashan Hotel. GIGALIGHT once again won the annual innovation product award with its 400G QSFP DD DR4 silicon photonics.
    GIGALIGHT’s core technologies for 400G silicon optical modules include high coupling efficiency package design and MZI software locking algorithms. Meanwhile, GIGALIGHT has co-designed several silicon optical waveguide chips with partners. Currently, silicon based 100G QSFP28 DR1/FR1/LR1 and silicon based 400G QSFP DD DR4/DR4+ are already in mass production.
    The product strategy of GIGALIGHT’s ultra-400G data center is mainly built on the silicon photonics technology platform. To this end, the company has made relevant trade-offs in R&D and operation. GIGALIGHT believes that the combination of silicon photonics technology and 100G PAM4 technology can obtain more stable performance and long-term scalability for data center networks. At the same time, as an innovative technology, the investment in silicon photonics technology and platforms must have a tortuous process, but the investment in silicon photonics could be a national plan globally.
    GIGALIGHT has received strong support from the supply chain and other industry colleagues in the development of silicon photonics technology for several years. May we, in the spirit of altruism, abandon the profit-seeking tendencies, and push an important business to a world-leading level.
    Great thanks to China Fiber Connect Forum for witnessing the torrent of silicon light development with GIGALIGHT!
