Scintera Ships 10 Gbps Electronic Compensation Chip for LANs

Scintera Networks, a start-up based in San Jose, California, introduced a CMOS device that compensates for impairments and dispersion when transmitting data up to 10.5Gbps over 300 meters of existing legacy fiber-optic cable. Scintera's single-chip Electronic Dispersion Compensation Engine, which is based on its Advanced Signal-Processing Platform, is aimed at enterprise 10 Gbps LAN and SAN applications that suffer from impairments and dispersion challenges due to legacy fiber problems. Scintera said its solution requires no changes to protocols, no training sequence, and no transmission changes.
