Intel's Light Peak optical links could arrive in 2010
by Stephen Shankland
October 8, 2009
In September, Intel showed off Light Peak as if it were the latest the
latest hot idea out of the labs. But the fiber-optic communication
technology could well be coming to near you next year rather than in
some distant sci-fi future.
A Taiwanese optical networking company, Foci Fiber Optic Communication,
is well along the path of selling Light Peak cables and other
fiber-optic components.
"We plan to have our pilot run ready by the end of November 2009, and
ready to be in mass production in the beginning of year 2010," said
Janpu Hou, the company's vice president of business development.
Foci is not some no-name manufacturer of commodity gear, either. The
company supplied the optical networking components used in the Light
Peak demonstrations at the Intel Developer Forum in September.
