There are signs that the fibre optic industry is beginning to revive. Leading players such as Corning are reactivating mothballed fibre factories and suggesting that we have reached bottom of the downturn. Perhaps scenting this renewed enthusiasm some new heavyweights are moving into the market. Microprocessor giant Intel and PA king RFMD are among them. One of the leaders, if not the leader in merchant RF PA MMICs and modules, RFMD, has launched a major foray into the fibre optic dat-acom market. Notably not in GaAs but in SiGe it is going to deploy its proven strengths in IC design, process technology, packaging and low-cost, high-volume manufacturing into analog ICs for fibre optic transceivers.
