Bifrost launches fixed and tunable complete transceiver solutions for 25 Gbps 40 km reach and 50 Gbps 20 km reach

• Facilitates upgrade of existing networks from 10 Gbps to 25 Gbps (C-band / DWDM)
• Meets the MOPA requirements for 6G mobile networks with 50 Gbps

A live demonstration of the 25 Gbps complete transceiver with 40 km reach will take place at the Bifrost booth 4952 and on the Semtech booth 1028. 

The 25 Gbps solution provides an easy upgrade of existing Access networks from 10 Gbps to 25 Gbps. The 50 Gbps enables 20 km reach at 50 Gbps in the C-band targeting requirements for 6G fronthaul set by MOPA (The Mobile Optical Pluggables Alliance) 

The 50 Gbps solution utilizes Bifrost’s 50 Gbps PAM4 Silicon Photonics Transceiver PIC. “Together with Semtech’s Tri-Edge™ CDR IC, Bifrost’s Quasi-Coherent Receiver enables 20 km reach at 50 Gbps in the C-band,” said Jesper Bevensee Jensen, CTO at Bifrost Communication. These innovative solutions are based on Bifrost’s proprietary Quasi Coherent transceiver technology.

Bifrost is partnering with the ESTEL Optical Transceiver Production in Belgium

Bifrost Communications is also announcing their partnership with the newly established ESTEL Optical Transceiver Production Company in Belgium. The ESTEL European facility is currently the only fully European Transceiver production line producing high-quality optical transceivers. ESTEL will be co-developing and producing the full range of Bifrost Quasi Coherent transceivers. ESTEL and Bifrost are sharing their Booth at OFC (Booth 4952)
