Mintera Ships 1000th 40 Gbps DWDM Adaptive-DPSKTM Module

Acton, Mass., March 23, 2009 – Mintera® Corporation, the high performance optical transport systems solutions leader, today announced a major milestone – the company has shipped its 1000th 40 Gbps DWDM DPSK MSA transceiver module. Mintera’s MI 4000XM Adaptive-DPSK™ product delivers industry leading optical performance in a standard 300-pin package.

“Acceptance of the benefits of our Adaptive-DPSK technology has been universal and demonstrates Mintera’s leadership in supplying key building blocks for the high bit-rate optical transport market. By packaging our solution into an industry standard format we have won 11 customers to-date, a rate of almost one per month since we introduced the product,” said Mintera president and CEO, Terry Unter. “Achieving volume shipments in such a short timeframe demonstrates the robustness of our product along with the high level of customer satisfaction and market-need for the MI 4000XM. We have also completed full GR-468 qualification.”

The patent-pending Adaptive-DPSK technology incorporated in the MI 4000XM DWDM module enables 40 Gbps transport on 50GHz channel-spaced systems and transmission over agile ROADM networks without compromising critical ULH reach. The unit conforms to the industry standard footprint and incorporates an electrical Mux/Demux for compatibility with any 40 Gbps framer. The module has a 300-pin MSA connector with support for the appropriate I2C commands, thus enabling simple hardware and software integration.

In January of this year, the company announced an Enhanced-DQPSK module available in a standard 300-pin package – the MI 5000XM. The MI 5000XM, the industry’s first Enhanced-DQPSK MSA module, delivers high PMD tolerance, high launch power tolerance, ROADM support and Ultra-Long Haul (ULH) reach. Incorporating elements of the company’s Adaptive-DPSK technology, the new MI 5000XM will support channel spacing as small as 25GHz. The MI 5000XM modulation format also incorporates an enhancement to enable higher channel launch powers resulting in increased transmission reach and greater system design flexibility.
