Kotura, Nissho Electronics ink Japanese distribution agreement

Monterey Park, CA, and Tokyo, Japan--Silicon photonics technology developer Kotura and high-tech Japanese distributor Nissho Electronics have signed a distribution agreement where Nissho will distribute Kotura's entire suite of integrated silicon photonic solutions, including high-speed, single-channel variable optical attenuators (VOAs), high-speed VOA arrays, and WDM multiplexers for 40 and 100 Gbit/s data center applications.

Kotura's photonics chips are based on the company's micron-scale manufacturing platform currently in mass production and deployed in live networks around the world since 2006. With three of the five largest telecommunication OEMs already using the company's products in their 10, 40, and 100 Gbit/s networks, the company is approaching a million channels per year currently in production.

Nissho Electronics will exhibit Kotura's products at FOE 2012 in Tokyo from April 11–13.
