"We needed a world class technology and foundry partner who had proven before that it could tackle hard problems and bring highly complex MEMS devices into production. We evaluated foundries around the world and chose IMT," said Larry Schwerin, CEO of Capella.
"Over the last year, IMT has rapidly ramped up our MEMS devices and now provides a consistent flow of fully tested 96, 48, and 12 channel products," said Joe Dillon, VP of Operations and Supply Chain of Capella. "The predictable supply and quality of products gives us great confidence that they can easily and cost effectively scale to the ever increasing demands that we see in the market."
Capella provides MEMS based wavelength selective switches (WSS) that enable remote and dynamic management of wavelength connections through the nodes of optical networks, critical for cost effective delivery of IP based broadband services. With WSS technology, wavelengths traverse optical intersections without requiring optical-electrical-optical (OEO) regeneration. With WSS technology, carriers can easily and remotely direct any wavelength to any port at any time. Additionally, WSS technology enables in-service scalability of network nodes to low cost, operationally efficient, higher degrees (mesh) nodes, improving bandwidth utilization by eliminating stranded bandwidth. And, by integrating multiple discrete functions into a single unit, systems vendors can reduce development time and cost while providing systems that are ideally suited to meet the changing network requirements.
