in the layout of technology platforms, gigalight set up the wuhan technology center and launched a silicon hybrid packaging technology platform development and coherent optical transceivers development. in the field of automatic manufacturing, gigalight basically achieved 100g optical transceiver auto-test, auto-coupling, auto-assembly and auto-binding process through independent r & d, external r & d and outsourcing. this year, gigalight successfully completed the construction of supply chain visualization system and upgrade of cloud coding platform, laying a solid foundation for cloud manufacturing for 2018.in the field of big data aoc and optical transceiver quality, gigalight has always maintained a good reputation. this year, gigalight had a breakthrough in the process reliability of cob and 100g single-mode hybrid optical engine reliability verification. the relevant results have also been released with paper. the branch of gigalight in seattle, north america is closed to microsoft and amazon headquarters, having a tangible effect for the company to trace the strategic direction for its data center products.
in 2017, gigalight focused on the development of low-cost application solutions for the dpi market. by reducing the cost of 100g dpi optical transceiver modules through the r & d and production of key technologies, gigalight started the company's services for dpi customers. as gigalight belongs to a strong normative and technical but low-cost company and has always kept its promise, it can be believed that gigalight will help improve the original supply chain deficiencies of the dpi market, then effectively follow and lead the cutting-edge development of dpi market optical interconnection after entering into the dpi market. dpi is still a key area for gigalight in 2018 and the company will release the dpi optical transceiver products in the first half of 2018.
