SEOUL, South Korea & SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LESSENGERS Inc., a provider of innovative optical components based on its patented “direct optical wiring” (DOW) technology, today announced an industry-first 1.6T OSFP 2×SR4 optical transceiver with multimode optics to address the growing bandwidth and energy crunch resulting from the increasingly complex AI/ML workloads in hyperscale data centers.
Hyperscale data centers require increasingly higher bandwidth and lower latency to keep up with the massive data processing demands. This is driving the need for 1.6 Terabit per second (Tbps) optical transceivers, which is the highest bandwidth available today and which will play a crucial role in ensuring efficient and high-speed data transfer between compute, storage, and networking nodes.
Furthermore, having multimode capability is vitally important as multimode fiber (MMF) is the predominant medium for interconnecting servers, switches and other equipment within the data center. For reasons of cost and performance, MMF excels in connections less than 100 meters and the majority of AI clusters in hyperscale / cloud data centers are connected to each other or to network equipment within this range.
Lessengers DOW technology (see description below) has enabled the development of low-power and low-cost 1.6T optical solutions with the following key features:
