Applied Optoelectronics receives initial orders for 40G QSFP+ and 100G QSFP28 transceiver from new hyper-scale datacenter customer

Applied Optoelectronics Inc (AOI) of Sugar Land, near Houston, TX, USA, a manufacturer of broadband fiber-optic access network products (including components, modules and equipment) for the Internet datacenter, CATV broadband and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) markets, says that, after an extensive period of product testing and qualification, it has received initial orders for its 40Gbps QSFP+ and 100Gbps QSFP28 optical transceiver modules from a new hyper-scale datacenter customer.

"The initial orders we have received, totaling more than 10,000 transceivers of various product types, are for delivery over the next couple of quarters, and represent a compelling opportunity to develop a long-term relationship with this new customer," says founder, president & CEO Dr Thompson Lin.

AOI's 40Gbps and 100Gbps optical transceivers are predominantly deployed in intra-datacenter applications and are used for high-speed switching and routing connectivity. Over the last four quarters, AOI has invested over $70m in production and R&D facilities to enable cost-effective, high-volume production for its datacenter and CATV broadband product lines, including in-house laser diode and light engine production.
