TriQuint, Huawei partner on optical networks

TriQuint Semiconductor have signed a memorandum of understanding with Huawei for the supply driver amplifiers and other products for optical transport systems. They will co-develop higher-speed and wider-bandwidth networks solutions with lower power consumption.

In addition to the MOU, the product development roadmaps of both TriQuint and Huawei will be aligned to enhance the competitiveness of their products. "We are impressed with TriQuint's high-quality products and professional technical support," said Qinya Hua, manager of transport networks, Huawei. "Huawei is always on the look out for advanced technology that allows operators to meet network optimization challenges in reducing total cost of ownership through lower power consumption."

"TriQuint looks forward to supporting Huawei's development and deployment of next-generation 40Gbit/s optical networks as well as the evolution of ultrahigh-speed 100Gbit/s networks. Our optical amplifiers have set a standard for high performance, efficiency and customer value that are in sync with Huawei's requirements for 'greener', high-efficiency data transport systems," said Brian Balut, VP for networks at TriQuint.
