December 13 2016 - 4:05PM
Applied Optoelectronics, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAOI), a leading provider of
fiber-optic access network products for the internet datacenter,
cable broadband, fiber-to-the-home, and telecom markets, will host
the next meeting of the Consortium for Onboard Optics (COBO), to be
held in Taipei, Taiwan on Feb. 8-9, 2017.
The meeting will facilitate technical discussions regarding the
Consortium’s standards for interconnects for intra-datacenter
applications, and for coherent inter-datacenter and long-haul
applications. In addition to hosting the COBO meeting, AOI will
provide a tour of its R&D and manufacturing facilities in
Taipei.
“The COBO mission of creating standards for the next generation
of optical interconnects depends critically on the input and
support from companies like Applied Optoelectronics,” said Brad
Booth, president of COBO. “We greatly appreciate their support and
commitment to our vision of the future for data center optical
interconnects.”

About COBO
The Consortium for Onboard Optics was founded to develop a set
of industry standards to facilitate interchangeable and
interoperable optical modules that can be mounted or socketed on a
network switch or network controller motherboard. Modules based on
the COBO standard are expected to reduce the size of the
front-panel optical interfaces to facilitate higher port density
and also to be more power efficient because they can be placed
closer to the network switch chips. For additional information,
