SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. (TSXV:SEV) (“Spectra7” or the “Company”), a leading provider of high-performance analog semiconductor products for broadband connectivity markets, announced today that cable assembly customers have ordered over $1.0 million in Spectra7 products in the second quarter to support ramping demand from Hyperscaler Data Center Operators both in China and the US.
The Global Data Center Networking Market size is expected to reach $40.3 billion by 2025, rising at a market growth of 12.3% CAGR during the forecast period.1 As data rates increase and the need for low power and cost effective solutions become more critical, the direct market that Spectra7 is serving is anticipated to be worth over $200 million in 20212.
“Spectra7’s revenue ramp in the large, high growth data center market has begun,” said Spectra7 CEO Raouf Halim. “Early design wins of our GaugeChangerTM technology are now hitting volume production. The compelling CAPEX reductions and OPEX savings of our technology continue to resonate well with operators, and we expect a strong ramp throughout 2020.”
GaugeChangerTM is an innovative and disruptive technology that allows copper to extend much longer lengths without the cost and power penalty of optics. It works equally well at 25 Gbps NRZ and 50 Gbps PAM-4 enabling new connector standards of 100, 200 and 400 Gbps.
All amounts mentioned in this release are $USD.
