Bifrost Communications is joining MOPA and is at the same time announcing their latest product innovation facilitating the performance standards set by MOPA
50 Gbps PAM4 Silicon Photonics Transceiver PIC
Bifrost Quasi-Coherent Receiver enables 15 km reach at 50 Gbps in the C-band targeting requirements for 6G fronthaul set by MOPA.
The Mobile Pluggable Alliance (MOPA) views multiple wavelength channels (DWDM) technology as crucial for delivering the needed capacity in 6G networks This approach minimizes fiber requirements and supports high-speed RAN connectivity, addressing the growing demand for data transmission amid fiber scarcity. Bifrost’s DSP-free Quasi-Coherent PIC transceiver technology enables increased reach and performance in a compact, low-latency form factor ideally suited to meet the challenging demands of future 6G fronthaul networks as specified by MOPA.
Bifrost will display this innovative technology at Semtech’s ECOC booth E37 utilizing Bifrost’s 50 Gbps PAM4 Silicon Photonics Transceiver PIC and QC-ASIC. “Together with Semtech’s Tri-Edge™ CDR IC, Bifrost’s Quasi-Coherent Receiver enables 15 km reach at 50 Gbps in the C-band,” said Jesper Bevensee Jensen, CTO at Bifrost Communication.
“We are thrilled to have Bifrost join the MOPA ecosystem,” said Raza Khan, chief marketing officer of MOPA and product marketing director for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group. “With 6G standardization expected to start next year, accelerating a path to scalable fronthaul architectures is key.”
