Chip giant Intel just unveiled stats on new silicon photonics products being produced by the company targeted at 5G infrastructure regarding the movement of massive amounts of data between numerous networks.
It did this at the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) which held in Rome where it provided specifics on the new 100G silicon photonics transceivers optimized for capacity of bandwidth requirements of next-generation communications infrastructure while also being crafted for survival even in harsh environmental conditions.
The expertise to move tons of data across numerous networks stands predominant in this data-centric era with more industries adapting new tech everyday for storing, movement and processing of tons of data for differing operations.

| Visitors to Intel’s booth at Mobile World Congress earlier this year got to experience a live, over-the-air 5G connection in action, streaming 4K UHD video through use of the first successful multi-vendor 5G-connected car trial from Toyota which showcasedthe Intel GO 5G Automotive Platform that provides the client connection to a 5G base station. This is an example of how 5G connection will transform several processes and the way we engage in them as showcased by Intel.

Intel’s 100G silicon photonics solutions is poised for that being fabricated to deliver immense value through a provision of fast, reliable and cost-effective connectivity. The new transceivers are also designed to cope with harsh outdoor conditions known to have negative effects on network infrastructure with a capability to support optical transport to near baseband units of up to 10 km distance.
Intel’s integrated laser approach counts as a benefit for this tech relating to mass production and deployment for 5G infrastructure. Samples of the new products are already available now for intending customers with full production scheduled to start as of first quarter 2019.
“Our hyperscale cloud customers are currently using Intel’s 100G silicon photonics transceivers to deliver high-performance data center infrastructure at scale. By extending this technology outside the data center and into 5G infrastructure at the edge of the network, we can provide the same benefits to communications service providers while supporting 5G fronthaul bandwidth needs.” Hong Hou, vice president and GM of Intel’s Silicon Photonics Product Division said in a statement concerning the unveiling of these new products.
