SEPTEMBER 10, 2007 — Ignis Photonyx, a unit of Ignis ASA (Oslo, Norway), will introduce its 48-channel arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) at ECOC, September 17–19 in Berlin, at Booth 12080. The 48-channel AWG covers all channels in the C band with 100-GHz spacing, so it can serve as a universal AWG.

This product allows users to consolidate systems that traditionally use different channel plans, according to the company. Targeting fiber to the home (FTTH), Ignis will focus on industry migration from 40-channel thermal AWGs to the 48-channel product.
