MACOM’s Commitment

MACOM is playing a leading role enabling the upgrade from 10G to 100G optical connectivity within Cloud Data Centers. We uniquely bring to bear the proven cost structure, capacity and supply chain flexibility that achieved preeminent market share in the PON Access market, and products and platform innovation that achieved similar success with 100G technology in Long Haul, Metro and DCI networks.

Introduction

The demand by Cloud Data Centers for faster data delivery speeds at cost-effective prices is growing rapidly, where higher speeds are necessary to process the current growth in traffic. The pace of cloud data center capacity expansion has created a change in the traditional model of network equipment development and deployment. Equipment vendors need to cut development cycles while bringing cost optimized solutions to market. To solve these challenges, MACOM is focused on complete chip-set solutions and discrete components that enable our customers to deliver optical transceivers that meet the requirements of today’s cloud data center deployments.
