EMCORE Announces 10G DWDM XFP Transceiver Module for 80km Reach Telecom Applications



ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., March 23 /- EMCORE Corporation (NASDAQ:EMKR), a leading provider of compound semiconductor-based components and subsystems for the broadband, fiber optic, satellite, and solar power markets, today announced the live demonstration and subsequent release to sampling of its 1550nm DWDM long reach XFP optical transceiver module. The new EDW-9100-XFP will be demonstrated to selected customers for the 2007 Optical Fiber Conference (OFC) in Anaheim, CA.

This product marks the expansion of EMCORE's market leading portfolio of parallel VCSEL and LX4 optical modules for the 300m multimode market into the long reach 10 Gbps application space. This XFP is ideally suited for diverse applications including SDH STM-64, SONET OC-192 LR-2, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-ZR).

"As one of the leading suppliers of parallel short reach and coarse wavelength division multiplexing interconnect products, we are excited about expanding our product portfolio into the dense wavelength division multiplexing and 100km regimes," said Clay Hudgins, 10G Module Product Line Manager at EMCORE Fiber Optics Division. "This product exploits the market- leading 1550nm technology of our Ortel division, while maintaining a robust multisourcing strategy."

Designed for long-reach, greater than 80km applications for the WAN and Long Haul markets. The 80km DWDM segment has been experiencing double-digit growth, quarter over quarter, and with that growth both the general market and our established customers are providing good entry points.

The transceiver module consists of a transmitter with a cooled 1550nm EML and a high-sensitivity receiver with an APD photodetector. The transceiver operates over a wide temperature range of 0 degree C to +70 degrees C (case) and offers optimum heat dissipation and excellent electromagnetic shielding, thus enabling high port densities for 10 Gbps systems. Key options for the RoHS 6 compliant module include C-Band and L-Band coverage at 100 GHz ITU-grid spacing, as well as private labeling.

EMCORE's C-Band EDW-9100-XFP will begin sampling to key accounts immediately following the live demonstration in Alhambra, and will begin sampling in L-Band configurations in Q2, 2007.
