Hyper Photonix recently announced the General Availability (GA) of its 800G DR8 products. The 800G DR8 utilizes the power of Hyper Silicon, which is the company’s silicon photonics platform and shows the scalability of its 400G DR4 product line.
Hyper Photonix 800G optics come in QSFP-DD112 and OSFP-112 form-factors and 500m to 10km reach, and are compatible with NVIDIA/Infiniband and Ethernet systems. After completing comprehensive qualification testing, the 800G products are now being mass produced at Hyper Photonix’s manufacturing facility. “This milestone underscores Hyper Photonix's commitment to delivering reliable, high-performance, cost-optimized, next-gen transceivers to its customers worldwide and bridging the gap in global optical interconnect supply and surging AI/ML-driven demand.”
“Operators of large AI Clusters started to transition from using multi-mode fiber transceivers to longer reach single-mode fiber modules, including DR8,” commented Dr. Vladimir Kozlov, CEO and Chief Analyst at LightCounting. “Demand for single-mode 800G transceivers is likely to exceed our forecast in 2024 and triple in 2025. Large customers are concerned about the limited manufacturing capacity of their current suppliers and starting to qualify new vendors. It is great timing for the Hyper Photonix announcement.”
Hyper Photonix is planning on expanding its portfolio of parallel single-mode optics in the future. Later this year the company will introduce more 800G and 1.6T products, including a linear pluggable optic (LPO) and active optical cable (AOC) configurations.
Hyper Photonix has evaluation samples of the 800G optical transceiver series available to interested customers, and are encouraged to contact the company’s sales department at [email protected]
