Ranovus Launches Its Single Chip ODIN™ Silicon Photonic Engine to Support ML/AI Workloads For Data Center and 5G Mobility

Ranovus has demonstrated ODIN 8, supporting 800 Gbps per fiber pair, for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence workloads

Ranovus Inc., a leading provider of multi-terabit interconnect solutions for data center and communications networks, announced the launch of its Odin™ platform. Odin™ scales Ranovus’ 100Gbps per lambda silicon photonics engine from 800Gbps to 3.2Tbps in a single chip supporting both module and Co-Packaged Optics solutions.

#AI and #MachineLearning workloads are creating new compute, storage & networking paradigms inside and outside the #datacenter. #Ranovus new SATURN product provides a multi #Terabit solution for these data flow requirements

Ranovus’ Odin™ platform incorporates the company’s disruptive innovation in multi-wavelength Quantum Dot Laser (QDL), 100Gbps silicon photonics based Micro Ring Resonator modulators and photodetectors, 100Gbps Driver, 100Gbps TIA and control Integrated Circuits supported by a Tier 1 packaging ecosystem.

“Intra-Data-Center traffic is growing at a rate that outpaces anything seen outside of the data centers and is expected to triple in the next five years. This growth in traffic is driving global energy consumption, for power and cooling, that is simply not sustainable at the current trajectory. At Ranovus, we’re dedicated to developing energy and space efficient technologies to address this critically important challenge – starting with our Odin™ optical engine platform,” said John Martinho, SVP R&D at Ranovus. “We’re proud to have brought together a Tier 1 ecosystem of partners and industry veterans to make these innovations possible.”
