Credo will manufacture and manage the sales and supply channels of the co-developed merchant ICs, and provide complete design services and customer support.\n\nThe first products will target 100G ZR and 100G ZR+ applications. The products will work within the popular QSFP28 optical module’s ultralow 5W power envelope and extend network reach well beyond 80km to support advanced application requirements. These products will target new buildouts and the imminent 10G upgrade cycle to 100G for service providers, 5G telecom and fixed-access operators.\n\nAlan Weckel, Founder and Technology Analyst at 650 Group stated, “Merchant solutions will help drive down the cost, and with the installed base of 10G ports in excess of 13M ports, there is a significant installed base that needs to upgrade to 100G to support new applications and traffic patterns, plus potential new market opportunities that coherent DSPs can open up in service provider, cloud, and enterprise edge networks.”\n\n“Coherent technologies are gaining importance as they improve spectral e...
