A new collaboration between Gemtek and NewPhotonics is set to redefine data center interconnects for AI by integrating optical signal processing directly onto photonic ICs, boosting capacity and efficiency.

Doron Tal of NewPhotonics highlighted that this partnership validates the ecosystem's recognition of the LPO+ technology for 800G and 1.6T optical connectivity, accelerating chip adoption for future data center scaling.

Gemtek, a company with over three decades of innovation in wireless, broadband, and IoT solutions, provides details about their products and the availability of the NPG10202 LPO+ transceiver modules on their website.

Gemtek is increasing investments in R&D and automated manufacturing to expand its fiber transceiver portfolio, aiming to meet the rising demand for scalable optical solutions in AI data centers and telecom networks.

James Lee, President of Gemtek, emphasized that their new 800G LPO transceiver extends the company's leadership in pluggable solutions for AI and data center networks, aiming to bridge the global supply gap driven by AI and ML growth.

Gemtek announced the release of the OMDN-107 800Gbps DR Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) transceiver, designed for high-speed optical connectivity in AI and cloud data centers.

This transceiver features integrated optical equalization and a compact, power-optimized architecture, supporting scalable interconnect solutions for hyperscalers and data centers.

The transceiver leverages the highly integrated NPG10202 LPO+ silicon photonics PIC, providing industry-leading power efficiency, minimized latency, and robust performance, with the new OSFP module featuring the transmitter-on-chip developed by NewPhotonics.
