$1.46 million on ultra long reach drivers

GigOptix Inc., a provider of electronic engines for the optically connected digital world, has booked a $1.46 million purchase order for its ultra long reach Mach-Zehnder Modulator (MZM) drivers. “Despite the difficult market conditions, we see a continued healthy demand for our long reach and ultra long reach drivers for terrestrial and undersea optical cable links greater than 500 km. Our drivers, with integrated encoders for 10Gb/s RZ and RZ-DPSK modulation formats, are valued for their superior performance and offer the best jitter specifications in the market,” states Padraig O’Mathuna, Director of Product Marketing at GigOptix. “This new order brings our expected 2009 sales to this customer to more than $3.5 million.”
