The OVUM review Accelink technologies acquired PLC chip companies

OVUM today announced the news, according to Ignis Photonyx Accelink technologies acquired event to comment, think Accelink technologies have a reasonable purchase reason:

Most of China’s optical fiber access using planar optical waveguide ( PLC ) technology splitter. For the pursuit of competitive advantage, this year the China Company started from the optical module assembly to optical communication chip manufacturing fields ( according to the report, this year there are 85 splitter manufacturers of China Telecom inquiry response ). However, China has happened before that, from less than to the excessive competition appears just moments. Some of the PLC chip companies such as bamboo shoots after a spring rain suddenly appear in china. According to reports, the wafer price within a year down 40%.

Accelink technologies size and position of the listing Corporation in the market to outshine others, but seek development in PLC market is very difficult.

Accelink technologies selection of reusing the existing industrial assets, not like other new entrants into the world so blind in excess of PLC wafer market.

Already some successful history of chip manufacturing plant is a value difference advantage. Through the acquisition of Ignis Photonyx, Accelink technologies to a mature global suppliers joined chip manufacturing market competition. Ignis Photonyx has been associated with a global leading company Oclaro (by Bookham and Avanex Corporation company to -Ignis Photonyx ‘s parent company, Ignis ASA from Bookham company and NeoPhotonics (formerly Ignis ), with ASA supply agreement and holding its equity ), and Finisar ( 2011 purchase of Ignis ASA, and this case trading relationship is not clear ) to establish a connection.

There is still a lack of advanced laser technology:

Historically, China has been the rapid use of passive techniques, and to continue this pattern. Recently, the United States of America II-VI company located in the United States of America acquired from Oclaro thin film filter business, and putting it into the II-VI in China optical devices subsidiary high-high italian.

We particularly want to know Chinese manufacturers are interested in acquiring active technology. Along with the technical transformation started the era of the 100G, market share will be attacked by tremendous influence. If you want to remain competitive in the future, device suppliers must make corresponding investment.
