By Jai C.S., TMCnet Contributor


GigOptix, formerly known as iTerra Communications and a provider of wide ranges of modulator driver and receivers for ultra long haul, long haul, metro and access network applications, has partnered with Pangaea (HK), an international sales and marketing company.
 
The current deal is to market and promote the GigOptix products of advanced Drivers Technology for the Chinese ultra long haul Optical Communication Systems.
 
“We are proud and honored to be partnered with Pangaea, as they display exemplary leadership, drive and professionalism,” said  Vivek Rajgharia, vice president of global sales at GigOptix, in a statement. “We have entrusted Pangaea in representing both GigOptix and our products to companies that can benefit from our unique solutions.”
 
“Pangaea is central to our success in China and with their help, our China market penetration is well on track,” added Rajgharia.
 
GigOptix's line of products offer excellent signal integrity and provide the most precise, accurate and reliable signal for datacom and telecom optical communication systems. The GigOptix modulator driver has been adopted into mass production in one of the fastest growing markets in the world, and will lead to expanded part implementations ranging from ultra-long haul to metro.
 
“GigOptix provides us with a toolbox that is full of quality products that many of our customers are in want of,” explains Richard Fung, CEO & president of Pangaea.
 
Fung also added, “When companies such as GigOptix have what the customers need and want, the relationship can grow strong as we support one another.”
 
Pangaea successfully penetrated a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions in China with the iT6134. The iT6134 generates an RZ format from a NRZ data stream and clock signal, and is optimized for 11.1 Gbps long-haul EML and LiNbO3 applications. It can be used to drive both Electro-Absorption (EA) and Mach-Zehnder modulators in fiber optic transceivers and line cards used in metro and long-haul lightwave communication systems.
