Inphi’s coherent TIAs surpass 25 billion field hours with incident-free reliability, as 2.5 millionth TIA shipped

Inphi Corp of Santa Clara, CA, USA (a provider of high-speed mixed-signal ICs for communications, computing and data-center markets) says that its coherent transimpednce amplifiers (TIAs) for long-haul, metro and data-center interconnect (DCI) networks have successfully performed more than 25 billion device hours in the field with zero field returns. Inphi has also now shipped more than 2.5million TIAs to date.

The optical networking market has seen a seismic shift as a result of the migration to cloud-based services, notes Inphi. To keep up with demand for bandwidth, cloud data centers, service provider networks and emerging virtual data centers are searching for high-quality and reliable components and systems to build an optimized, scalable network infrastructure. Inphi says that its TIAs enable increments in bandwidth and deliver the reliability required by the latest networks.

“Network operators are very sensitive to quality and reliability as network uptime is a metric that has a direct impact on their bottom line,” comments Andrew Schmitt, lead analyst at Cignal AI. “Inphi’s coherent amplifiers are used industry wide in almost all 100G and 200G long-haul, metro, and DCI networks. The company continues to invest in leading edge technology and will lead the transition to 400G coherent as well,” he adds.

Inphi is showcasing its latest next-generation products in booth #3601 at the Optical Fiber Communications (OFC 2017) trade show in Los Angeles (21-23 March).
