Compass-EOS Wins 2014 Prism Award for Photonics Innovation
Natanya, Israel (PRWEB) February 10, 2014 -- Compass-EOS, a next-generation routing company and icPhotonics™ pioneer, is pleased to announce that its r10004 router, the world’s first silicon-to-photonics router, and the icPhotonics technology have won the 2014 Prism Award for Photonics Innovation in the Optical Components category. Its full-mesh architecture enables optical chip-to-chip, board-to-board, or rack-to-rack connectivity. This hybrid photonic integration scheme allows the highest aggregate full duplex bandwidth reported in the industry: 1.34 Tb/s with a data density of 64 Gb/s/mm2. This achievement represents a cross-disciplinary achievement that has been pursued by industry giants for years without success.
Commenting on the award, Compass-EOS Chief Scientist and co-founder, Dr. Michael Mesh said, “Our design unleashes chip I/O which acted as a bottleneck in many high-performance computing applications, including routing. We are certain this technology will usher in the next decade of innovation in computing, communications, storage and optical systems.”
SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, and Photonics Media, award photonic products that break with conventional ideas, solve problems, and improve life through the application of light-based technologies.
