TriQuint and Huawei partner on next-gen optical transport systems

RF product maker and foundry services provider TriQuint Semiconductor Inc of Hillsboro, OR, USA has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Chinese telecom network provider Huawei to supply driver amplifiers and related products for new optical transport systems.

TriQuint says that, as a strategic partner, it will work closely with Huawei to develop higher-speed and wider-bandwidth networks solutions with lower power consumption for operators worldwide.

In addition to the MOU, the product development roadmaps of both TriQuint and Huawei will be aligned, with the aim of enhancing the competitiveness of the firms’ products. “Huawei is always on the look out for advanced technology that allows operators to meet network optimization challenges in reducing TCO (total cost ownership) through lower power consumption,” says Qinya Hua, Huawei's manager of Transport Networks.

“TriQuint looks forward to supporting Huawei’s development and deployment of next-generation 40Gb/s optical networks as well as the evolution of ultra-high-speed 100Gb/s networks,” says Brian P. Balut, TriQuint’s VP, Networks. “Our optical amplifiers have set a standard for high performance, efficiency and customer value that are in sync with Huawei’s requirements for ‘greener’, high-efficiency data transport systems,” he adds.
