Interested in what EFFECT Photonics is working on right now? We are exhibiting at booth #6012 and will be showing:

Energy-efficient Tunable SFP+ Transceivers for Next Generation Mobile Networks (Live Demo)

EFFECT Photonics is demonstrating it’s new energy-efficient tunable SFP+ transceiver. Optical transceivers equipped with our latest System-on-Chip (SoC) technology consume less than 1.5W of power at 85C. This opens up the use of these transceivers in legacy systems that were previously designed for Class II fixed wavelength devices, allowing our customers more flexibility in the field without changing their installed base. Furthermore, future systems for Mobile Fronthaul, such as the smaller cells required for 5G, are designed to be unobtrusive and smaller, while requiring more transceivers because of the increased capacity. These two requirements together create the need for an energy-efficient transceiver with low power dissipation. This is what the latest addition to EFFECT’s product portfolio provides.

NarroWave enabled SFP+ modules

At OFC 2020 EFFECT Photonics is demonstrating its NarroWave enabled SFP+ modules. NarroWave is a new feature that allows customers to monitor and control remote SFP+ modules from the central office, without making any hardware or software changes in the field. NarroWave is agnostic of vendor equipment, data rate or the protocol of the in-band traffic. The host at the central office can access the remote digital diagnostics and monitoring by reading dedicated memory pages of the local SFP+, which are a mirror of the host device. This feature can also be used to send commands to a remote device, which enables use-cases such as automatic tuning and automatic power-balancing. This makes EFFECT’s SFP+ modules a powerful asset in the toolkit of any telecom provider looking to dynamically control and monitor its telecommunication network. Examples of NarroWave applications will be demonstrated live at EFFECT’s booth #6012.

Bringing affordable DWDM to the edges of the network

From March 5 to March 7 2019,  EFFECT Photonics will be exhibiting at the OFC (Optical Networking and Communication Conference & Exhibition) in San Diego, California, USA. OFC is the largest optical communications conference in the world. Representing a range of products, from optical components and devices to systems, test equipment, software and specialty fiber, OFC represents the entire supply chain and provides the premier marketplace where the industry learns, connects, networks and closes deals.
Interested in what EFFECT Photonics is working on right now? We are exhibiting at booth #2647 and will be showing:

Narrowband Tunable SFP+ Transceiver for Fronthaul (LIVE DEMO)
Based on our ‘Optical System-on-Chip’ technology EFFECT Photonics is launching their first product into the market. Our Narrowband Tunable SFP+ can be used for Mobile Fronthaul applications. It supports Industrial Temperature operation, allowing customers to use in it in outdoor environments. With a reach of up to 40km, it can be used in virtually any Fronthaul network. This tunable solution brings flexible and affordable DWDM to the edges of the network.

Autonomously Tunable SFP+ Transceiver
Network traffic at the edge of the network will grow exponentially over the next few years. As operators strive to configure services and deploy applications dynamically, robust and operationally simple fibre networks become critical. Modules that autonomously tune to the required wavelength are an essential component of these low-cost access networks. EFFECT Photonics technology allow operators to rapidly and economically scale their optical networks.
