Covering data rates up to 400Gb/s in compact form factors, vendor products enable green field
deployments and the upgrade of existing datacenters in a cost-effective manner. WAN telco applications
Internet, enterprise augmented reality, and IoT Drive optical network adoption as the mega data centers
are poised for significant growth to support trillion-dollar app markets. Global adoption of the Internet
is driving rapid growth of the mega datacenter and the need for very high speed network transmission.
Optical transceivers are used to upgrade telecommunications networks and launch very large mega data
centers. The development of innovative products is essential to keeping and growing market share.
A 400G optical transceiver is a single, packaged device that works as a transmitter and receiver. An
optical transceiver is used in an optical network to convert electrical signals to optical signals and optical
signals to electrical signals. Optical transceivers are widely deployed in optical networking for
broadband. Optical transceiver manufacturers test to ensure that their optical transceivers have
compliance with the defined specifications. Testing of key optical parameters: transmitter optical power
and receiver sensitivity is a big deal.
According to Susan Eustis, leader of the team that prepared the research, “400G Optical transceiver
markets are driven by the use of mega data centers that implement broadband networks in cloud
computing environments. Video, Internet adoption, and tablets drive demand for broadband mega data
centers. Markets are influenced by apps, augmented reality. IoT, the move to cloud computing and the
adoption of smart phones by 9.5 billion people by 2020. Mega data centers that support online
commerce, streaming video, social networking, and cloud services for every industry are expected to
adopt 400G optical transceivers as a fundamental technology. Software as a Service (SaaS) is a primary
offering that will leverage 400 G optical transceivers in the mega data center.”
High-speed serial transceivers form the backbone of networks. Communications, servers and many
other electronic systems depend on high-speed serial transceivers. Global adoption of the Internet is
driving rapid growth of the mega datacenter. Data centers support online commerce, streaming video,
social networking, and cloud services.
Leading vendors offer a broad product selection. They are positioned with innovative technology. 400 G
optical module manufacturers address the needs of major networking interconnect equipment vendors
and companies building mega data centers. Leading vendors have taken a leading role in transforming
the data communications and tele-communications equipment market.
The global 400 G optical transceiver market is expected to be at $22.6 billion in 2023 driven by the
availability and cost effectiveness of 100 Gbps, and 400 Gbps devices. Next generation optical transceiver
devices use less power, are less expensive, and are smarter and smaller. The adoption of widespread use
of the 100 Gbps devices, followed by 400 Gbps devices and the vast increases in Internet traffic are core
to helping manage change in the large mega data center and communications interconnect and
infrastructure markets.
