Precision Optical Technologies: Genesee™ Dispersion Compensation ASIC
While today’s 10G DWDM transceivers can facilitate transmission distances of up to 80km, available 25G DWDM optical transceiver solutions fall short, limiting network operators to 10-15km distances unless specialized equipment is employed for longer links. Precision OT’s Advanced Engineering Group (AEG) designed and manufactured a Dispersion Compensation ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) called Genesee, using patent-pending technology. The Dispersion Compensation ASIC enables greater bandwidth at longer distances without additional equipment and architecture, quickly reducing operational expenses and extending the lifespan of existing network infrastructure.
Judge’s Comment: “Precision Optical Technologies' dispersion compensation ASIN promises to allow 25G access systems with the advantages of direct optical detection.”
