The Internet industry is growing enormously, already accounting for more than 2% of global emissions. Current infrastructures and technologies for access networks cannot meet the growing demand without high energy and environmental costs. With this project, Bifrost aims to deliver a fully developed, tested, and qualified breakthrough Receiver Optical Sub Assembly (ROSA) based on proprietary and patented Quasi Coherent technology, which increases signal detection by more than 10 times. Our technology can be seamlessly integrated into any existing transceiver on the market. Applied to the 5G fronthaul and ring architectures, it will significantly increase the infrastructure’s reach from a maximum of 10 km up to 20 km. In fixed networks, it will enable meeting all classes of the new NG-PON2 standard, increasing reach, bandwidth, and number of users. This will have a major impact on Internet networks, reducing the need for costly and high energy-consuming central offices by up to 90%.
On a global scale, our technology could reduce the energy consumption of the Access Network by 50%, translating into a 30% energy reduction in the Internet industry. Bifrost Communications has developed a groundbreaking technology called QC-ROSA (Quasi-Coherent Receiver Optical Sub-Assembly). This technology significantly enhances transceiver sensitivity in the Access Network, setting Bifrost apart in the market.
Utilizing the innovative Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) fabrication method, Bifrost can produce complex optical structures at a low cost. Bifrost is also advancing Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and a new fully integrated and tunable transmitter receiver optical sub-assembly (TROSA).
Bifrost’s product portfolio aims to address the growing demands of the fiber-optic transceiver market, offering cost-effective, energy-efficient solutions. The company’s strategy includes direct sales and licensing, providing multiple revenue streams and mitigating risks. With a strong leadership team and strategic partnerships, Bifrost is poised to make a significant impact on the industry.
Bifrost has developed a complete transceiver in the desirable form factor, SFP. The new product is a DWDM SFP28 with reach at 40 km, which is the longest reach of any similar transceiver in the market place.
Bifrost has identified a significant market potential for its product/service. Recent market trends indicate a growing demand for solutions like Bifrost’s.
