Civcom intros industry’s first multi-rate tunable optical transceiver for SAN apps

OFC/NFOEC 2011, PETACH TIKVA, ISRAEL: Civcom, a developer and provider of opto-electronic modules, is launching the industry’s first multi-rate transceiver for DWDM telecom and data optical networks.

The new transmitter/receiver supports 1Gbps - 10Gbps rates, allowing usage of the same line card as network capacity grows hence reducing client TCO. The MLR transceiver is a small-size long-reach widely-tunable module, perfectly suitable for SAN applications. Channel capacity upgrades on SAN systems traditionally required the replacement of the line card array on both transmitter and receiver ends. With the new module Civcom offers the flexibility of using the same card as system capacity is upgraded, saving additional lifecycle investments.

“Civcom continues to innovate and respond to dynamic industry needs. Our customers support the world’s highest capacity, leading network and telecom carriers,” said Yair Itzhar, VP Worldwide Sales and Marketing at Civcom. “With the new module Civcom uses its expertise in highly tunable DWDM components to offer the flexibility required for operators supporting the rapidly growing SAN market.”
