Gemtek Technology Company Ltd, a global leader in advanced networking solutions, has launched the OMDN-107 800Gbps DR Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) transceiver in OSFP form factor. This module incorporates the NewPhotonics NPG10202 LPO+ transmitter-on-chip (TOC), which integrates lasers, modulators, and optical signal processing (OSP), delivering high-speed optical connectivity tailored for AI and cloud data centers.
The OMDN-107 transceiver provides breakthrough efficiency and performance through its power-optimized architecture, making it ideal for modern AI and cloud environments. By integrating advanced components, it minimizes latency and ensures reliable operation, supporting the growing needs of hyperscalers for faster, more sustainable networking solutions.
Gemtek's expanded investment in research, development, and automated manufacturing underscores its commitment to high-speed fiber transceiver production. This initiative targets both AI data centers and telecom transport networks, responding to industry demands for flexible, scalable optical technologies that enhance overall connectivity.
The collaboration with NewPhotonics leverages the NPG10202 LPO+ silicon photonics PIC to achieve industry-leading power efficiency and robust performance. "As hyperscalers demand faster, more efficient connectivity, our 800G LPO transceiver extends Gemtek's leadership in pluggable solutions for AI and data center networks," said James Lee, President, Gemtek. "With our high-volume automated manufacturing facilities, Gemtek is uniquely positioned to deliver reliable, cost-optimized transceivers at scale that will bridge the global supply gap as AI/ML-driven demand accelerates. Partnering with NewPhotonics allows us to bring to market the most advanced LPO solution available today, ensuring we meet both immediate customer needs and the industry's long-term shift to silicon photonics."
"Our collaboration with Gemtek is strong validation that the ecosystem recognizes LPO+ for today's 800G and the step up to 1.6T LPO optical connectivity," said Doron Tal, SVP & GM of Optical Connectivity at NewPhotonics. "Working with global leaders like Gemtek accelerates adoption of our LPO+ chips, which bring optical signal processing directly onto the photonic IC and redefines how data centers will scale interconnect for AI."
This launch positions Gemtek and NewPhotonics at the forefront of silicon photonics advancements, enabling data centers to scale interconnects efficiently for the AI era.
