Mitsubishi Electric to Ship Samples of 100Gbps EML CAN for 5G Mobile Base Stations

News

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced that it will begin shipping samples of its 100Gbps EML (electro-absorption modulator laser) CAN for high-speed, large-capacity optical data transmissions in fifth-generation (5G) mobile base stations on radio access networks on October 1. The new model also supports enhanced manufacturing productivity.

Mobile communication systems worldwide are being required to handle increasing data communication volume due to the transition from 4G to 5G, the spread of mobile terminals including smartphones and tablets, and the shift of information to the cloud. The expansion of 5G mobile networks will require the transmission of huge volumes of data to/and from base stations in high-speed optical communication networks, which in turn will drive the demand for high-speed, low-power-consumption optical devices. The new 100Gbps EML CAN not only meets these requirements, it also contributes to greater efficiency in manufacturing optical transceivers. The new 100Gbps EML CAN utilizing the industry-standard TO-56 CAN package will be provided for 5G base stations.

Product Features
1) Supports high-speed, large-volume 5G mobile networks
- As a TO-56 CAN package equipped with an EML device, achieves an industry-leading* transmission speed of 100 Gbps thanks to the widening frequency bandwidths of EML devices and packages (package size: φ5.6mm) and the adoption of 4-level pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM4).
* As of September 3, 2020 according to Mitsubishi Electric research
2) Reduces power consumption of optical transceivers by about 60 percent
- Operating case temperature range between -40°C and 95°C due to downsized thermo-modules (which convert heat and power to keep EML device temperatures constant).
- Power consumption of thermo-modules reduced by approximately 60 percent compared to current FU-402REA model for 100Gbps transmissions.
3) Improves productivity in manufacturing optical transceivers
- Simplifies fabrication of bi-directional optical modules used in optical transceivers.
- Compatible with standard TO-56 CAN package.
