With the release of its most recent technical advancement, the stock price of Applied Optoelectronics, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAOI) is seeing a notable increase. By the time of the last market check, AAOI shares had increased 17.45% to $16.51. The company’s showcase of cutting-edge technologies at the European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC) 2024 is what prompted this surge.
Applied Optoelectronics Unveiling the 1.6T OSFP DR8 LPO Module
Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) showcased its new 1.6T OSFP DR8 LPO module at ECOC, marking a leap in high-speed network capabilities by doubling the data rates of existing interfaces. By integrating with the CEI-224G Linear standard from the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF), the module offers the infrastructure required for data-intensive applications like machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and enhanced data center operations.
This technology helps organizations grow efficiently by meeting their present network infrastructure demands and laying the groundwork for future developments in data processing and transport.
AAOI Enhancing Data Center Efficiency and Performance
In addition to the 1.6T OSFP DR8 LPO module, Applied Optoelectronics plans to demonstrate other groundbreaking solutions tailored to next-generation data centers. These include the 800G OSFP DR8 LPO modules, which are integrated into an 800G switch, and a live demonstration of the ELSFP 1311nm uncooled module.
Attendees at the ECOC conference will witness these modules’ ability to manage larger data volumes at higher rates, optimizing performance for data-intensive environments. These advancements not only improve data center efficiency but also minimize cooling requirements, further reducing operational costs.
Launch of Quantum18 Product Series
In another key development, Applied Optoelectronics recently introduced its Quantum18 product line, designed to help cable operators upgrade to 1.8GHz while integrating seamlessly into legacy Motorola housings. The Quantum18 1.8GHz Node is the flagship of this series, offering enhanced compatibility for updates, reducing downtime, and lowering operational costs.
AAOI product sets a new benchmark in Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial (HFC) networking, enabling operators to prepare their networks for future upgrades, including DOCSIS 4.0, thereby simplifying deployment and reducing expenses.
