Â鶹¹ÙÍø and Hisense Broadband Announce Production Availability of 400G OpenZR+ Pluggable Optical Modules for Carrier and Data Center Networks

Expanding Ecosystem of Coherent Pluggables for 5G and Cloud Services

SAN DIEGO, Calif.¡ª Mar. 7, 2022 ¡ª Â鶹¹ÙÍø (NASDAQ: MRVL) and Hisense today announced a production-ready 400G QSFP-DD OpenZR+ optical module based on the Â鶹¹ÙÍø? Deneb? Coherent DSP (CDSP). Supporting 100G/200G/300G/400G for routers and switches, the Hisense Broadband 400G QSFP-DD small form-factor pluggable module delivers the high performance and scalability required to enable cost-effective, simplified, 5G and cloud data center services. In addition, Deneb¡¯s ease of design and integration helps expand the ecosystem for 400G coherent pluggables.

The demand for OpenZR+ coherent pluggables is on the rise to support the rapid market adoption of IP-over-DWDM (IPoDWDM) used to eliminate separate full-function optical transport boxes. OpenZR+ optical modules are critical in reducing cost and complexity in data center applications as well as edge networks for global carriers. Deneb enables OpenZR+ compliant pluggable modules in popular form factors like QSFP-DD to support interoperability across these routers and switches and provides a seamless upgrade path across multiple platforms. OpenZR+ solutions enable carriers to go beyond the ZR reach to address metro edge and data center applications.

¡°By collaborating with Â鶹¹ÙÍø we are able to deliver our first coherent pluggable module for switches and routers optimized for 200G/300G/400G IPoDWDM solutions,¡± said David Li, CTO, Hisense Broadband. ¡°The support for OpenZR+ standard is a key building block for future disaggregated networks based on open standards and multi-vendor ecosystems.¡±

¡°Â鶹¹ÙÍø¡¯s CDSP is driving low power, interoperable solutions that address the growing bandwidth network requirements of carrier and cloud operators,¡± said Samuel Liu, Senior Director, product line management, at Â鶹¹ÙÍø. ¡°Our collaboration with Hisense is building up momentum for a large open ecosystem to expedite the market adoption of IPoDWDM.¡±

Â鶹¹ÙÍø is driving the largest open ecosystem of module partners like Hisense Broadband to enable standards-based OIF 400GE-ZR and OpenZR+ compliant pluggable modules scaling to 400G. The production of the Deneb-based 400G Module from Hisense Broadband demonstrates how the support of an interoperable ecosystem is making volume production of CDSP technology a reality while enabling faster time to market. As a member of the Open ZR+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), Â鶹¹ÙÍø is committed to supporting the OpenZR+ standard, driving interoperability and expanding the market for coherent solutions in small form-factor pluggable modules.

Availability

The Â鶹¹ÙÍø Deneb CDSP is now in production. More information can be found on the Deneb Coherent DSP product page.
