Today's news alerts include: Opnext Ships Its One Millionth 10G Transceiver; Sets New Industry Milestone

FREMONT, Calif., Jun 16, 2009 -- Opnext, Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacturing of optical modules and components, today announced that the Company has shipped more than one million 10G transceivers to its global customer base. As an industry leader in 10G and above transceivers, Opnext offers a broad portfolio of products in the 10G family, including 300 pin, XENPAK, X2, XPAK, XFP and SFP+, encompassing all port types within these form factors. The Company's modules support SONET OC-192, SDH STM-64 and 10GbE protocols, enabling long-reach terrestrial transmission, metropolitan area network, optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM), access, enterprise switching, high-speed data and storage communications.

"It took almost a decade for the 10G market to reach high volumes, where economy of scale is starting to pay off," commented Dr. Vladimir Kozlov, founder of LightCounting. "Opnext is one of very few vendors with a long term vision and true commitment to transceiver technology, which are likely to benefit from increasing demand for high data rate modules."

"This accomplishment further demonstrates Opnext's technical excellence and our ability to lead the industry from early technology development to high-volume commercial production," said Gilles Bouchard, Opnext president and CEO. "This milestone exemplifies the strength of the partnerships we have established with our customers to help them deploy their next generation networking platforms."

Opnext's 10G module transceivers fully comply with industry standards from ITU-T G.691, G.709, and IEEE 802.3, and OIF recommendations, supporting a variety of electrical interfaces, including SFI-4, XAUI and XFI, which ease the integration onto system host boards.
