Opway launched four 100G single wave optical modules for telecommunication application-Company News-Opway Communication Inc.

100G single wave is an optical specification that uses PAM4 modulation technology to achieve single-wavelength 100Gbps transmission. The specification was released by the 100G Lambda Multi-Source Agreement(MSA) working group to provide a more cost-effective solution for 100G/400G applications. The traditional 100G solution uses four 25Gbps optical channels to achieve 100G transmission through wavelength-division multiplexing or channel parallel. Each channel requires separate transmitting and receiving devices, which imposes high requirements on the power consumption, spatial layout, and cost of optical modules.The 100G single wave optical module reduces the number of optical transmitting and receiving units from four to one, effectively reducing the optical complexity of the optical module, greatly reducing the number of components, and simultaneously reducing the cost.As 100G single wave adopts single-channel PAM4 technology, it makes the upgrade of 100G to 4X100G (ie 400G) a reality, and the technology of using 4X100G to realize 400G is also the development direction of 400G.

Shenzhen Opway Communication Technology Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guangdong Tongyu Communication Co., Ltd. (stock code: 002792). The company was established in 2010 with a registered capital of 210 million yuan.The company specializes in the research and development, production of optical communication products.In 2018, it was rated as the 25G/50G/100G/200G/400G high-speed optical module engineering technology research center for 5G and large super-large data centers in Guangdong Province.

Under the application prospects of 100G single-wave technology, Opway has invested a lot of personnel and funds to launch four products of 100G single wave LR1, 100G single wave ER1, 100G single wave BIDI LR1 and 100G single wave BIDI ER1 with adopt a hermetic packaging solution for telecommunication applications.
