Fiberhome Selects Mindspeed’s Crosspoint Switch for Use in Optical Networking System

Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSPD), a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for network infrastructure applications, today announced Fiberhome Telecommunications Technologies, Ltd., a leading provider of telecommunications network solutions, has selected Mindspeed®'s large crosspoint switch for use within its next-generation OTN product line.

"Fiberhome chose to use the Mindspeed’s crosspoint in our OTN system because it solved both our signal-integrity and switching requirements in a highly-integrated device,” said Yang Ming, vice general manager of optical networks products division at Fiberhome. "The Mindspeed crosspoints enable our OTN equipment to deliver superior flexibility, intelligent electronic/optical management and terabits per second (Tbps)-class switching capabilities."

"Mindspeed offers the most comprehensive portfolio of crosspoint devices in the industry,” said Kurt Busch, senior vice president and general manager for Mindspeed’s high-performance analog business unit. "As a result, we were able to offer Fiberhome a product that was optimized for their application in terms of channel count, power and performance.”

Mindspeed’s crosspoint switches provide the key signal-integrity and interconnect technology required in OTN and other networking systems. The crosspoint switch’s high-density switching capability enables OTN systems to route traffic as required, and its integrated signal-conditioning features enable multi-gigabit transmission through the networking equipment.
