Advanced Photonix, Inc. Adds Second Shift for Hybrid Assembly of Its 40G Product Lines to Meet Industry Demand
Company is Also Shipping Pre-Production Versions of its 100G Line of High-Speed Optical Receivers
ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 14 -- Picometrix, LLC, an Advanced Photonix company (NYSE Amex: API), announced today that it has added a second shift for hybrid assembly of its 40G NRZ client side, 40G DPSK and DQPSK lines of high-speed optical receivers (HSOR). Picometrix offers the industry's most complete line of 40G High-Speed Optical Receiver solutions for both client side and line side modulation formats, including NRZ, RZ, DPSK, DQPSK, ODB and DP-QPSK. The Company also announced that it is shipping pre-production versions of its 100G line of high-speed optical receivers. The patented photodiodes and proprietary amplifiers utilized in these receivers deliver industry leading performance and reflect the Company's continued technology leadership in 40G and emerging 100G HSORs.
"Demand for Voice, Internet, HDTV, and Wireless requires increased bandwidth and increased speed including telecom infrastructure expansion for 10G, 40G and 100G requirements and both 40G and 100G line side products serve their respective market niche in the network infrastructure," said Richard (Rick) Kurtz President and CEO of API. "100G line side product adoption is being accelerated by demands to interconnect large data centers, like those at Google and Facebook. Traditional service providers are still in the early stages of evolving their networks to handle the demands of high definition video and delivery of content anytime, anywhere. These next generation wire line and wireless networks will require deployment of 40G and 100G to deliver this content, which is expected to grow annually by more than 25%. API's addition of the second shift is in response to this increase in demand for our high speed optical receivers, reflecting our leadership position."
