MAYNARD, Mass., Feb. 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acacia Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACIA), a leading provider of high-speed coherent optical interconnect products, today announced that its AC1200 coherent module has been awarded Lightwave’s highest score of 5.0 in its Innovation Reviews Program. Powered by Acacia’s Pico DSP ASIC, the AC1200 module supports transmission speeds of up to 1.2 Tbps in a footprint that is 40% less than the size of the 5” x 7” modules supporting transmission speeds of 400 Gbps today, making it the ideal solution for cloud/DCI, metro, long-haul and submarine applications.
“We are honored to receive this recognition from Lightwave for our AC1200 coherent module, which we believe is the industry’s lowest power 600G solution available today,” said Benny Mikkelsen, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Acacia Communications. “Acacia is committed to helping its customers effectively compete against other products available in the market today, and we believe this award is a strong validation around those efforts.”
Presented annually by Lightwave, the Lightwave Innovation Reviews program distinguishes top products and solutions available within the optical networking industry as determined by a panel of third-party judges. Judges include industry executives and analysts from a wide variety of service providers, technology developers, industry analysts, and journalists.
"On behalf of the Lightwave Innovation Reviews, I would like to congratulate Acacia on their impressive 5.0 score," said Stephen Hardy, Editorial Director, Lightwave, and Program Director of the Lightwave Innovation Reviews. "In rating the product so highly, our judges praised the AC1200 module’s performance, features, and innovation.” |
