Sivers collaborates with Jabil on energy-efficient 1.6T pluggable optical transceiver module
Sivers Semiconductors AB of Kista, Sweden (which supplies RF beam-former ICs and lasers for AI data-center, SATCOM, defense and telecom applications) says that its high-performance distributed feedback (DFB) lasers are to be used by global engineering, supply chain and manufacturing solutions provider Jabil Inc to develop a 1.6T linear receive optical (LRO) transceiver module. The new pluggable module will provide highly energy-efficient optical interconnect speeds to accelerate deployment for next-generation hyperscale AI data centers.
The collaboration aims to address the growing demand for power-efficient, high-performance optical solutions for AI infrastructure.
According to the market research report ‘Optics for AI clusters’ issued by LightCounting in January, 800G-and-higher-speed optical transceivers will comprise 80% of the pluggables market by 2030, which is projected to grow globally to 225 milion units shipped that year.
“Energy efficiency is now a hard requirement in AI infrastructure scaling,” says Alex McCann, managing director for Sivers’ Photonics business.
“Our customers are pushing for more bandwidth without increasing power consumption,” says Jason Wildt, VP & general manager of photonics at Jabil. “Working with Sivers will allow us to deliver a 1.6T LRO solution that meets both data-center performance and power targets at scale.”
