Project description
High-speed transceivers for Terabit Ethernet interconnects in data centres
The 400 Gigabit Ethernet (400G) has set a path towards faster data transfer speeds, accommodating the increasing bandwidth demands of cloud data centres. While 400G optical transceivers are impressive, high-performance computing and artificial intelligence will require higher speeds. The EU-funded TERIPHIC project plans to develop a new generation of pluggable and mid-board transceiver modules with speeds measuring from 800 Gbit/s to 1.6 Tbit/s. Focus will be placed on simplifying the transceiver design by reducing the number of integrated interfaces and on developing the necessary hardware for automating the assembly process. Compared to their 400G counterparts, the 800G optical modules will cut power consumption by 50 % per Gbit/s.
