Marvell and InnoLight announced the general availability of InnoLight's first 100G QSFP-DD optical module portfolio for 5G backhaul and aggregation applications. The new InnoLight coherent module family, powered by the Marvell(R) Deneb(TM) Coherent DSP (CDSP), is the latest collaboration in the companies' longstanding strategic relationship to bring innovative optical transceivers across multiple form factors to market. The entry of InnoLight, one of the largest optical transceiver manufacturers in the world, into the 100G QSFP-DD optical module market is accelerating the transition of 10G to 100G coherent WDM solutions.
With wireless traffic and data center bandwidth both growing at approximately 40% per year(1), carriers are driving a transition from 10G NRZ to 100G coherent solutions in backhaul and access infrastructure. Coherent technology maximizes capacity per fiber by 10x compared to 10G NRZ solutions. This gives carriers and service providers an opportunity to increase their capacity relatively quickly, lower their cost and power per bit and lay a foundation for the next decade.
100G coherent solutions also offer the flexibility to extend the reach of 10G NRZ solutions by more than 5x. The InnoLight 100G QSFP-DD optical modules with Marvell's Deneb CDSP enables carriers to leverage their existing ROADM fiber infrastructure in the transition to high-performance next-generation networks. With the upgrade to 100G, carriers can offer a better end user experience as well as support for unabated data traffic growth with superior network economics.
