APRIL - JUNE 2022TELECOM BUSINESS REVIEW19A transceiver is an integral part of a fiber optics network since it converts electrical signals to optical signals and optical signals to electrical signals. These processes need to be carried out with impeccable precision and speed if a network provider is to avoid considerable data loss. In order to minimize this loss, companies invest heavily in acquiring state-of-the-art routers and switches; whereas expenses can be greatly reduced if they turn their focus on improving the quality of transceivers instead. The InterOptic team have real optical experts that understand the technical IP Network and manufactures only the highest quality optical solutions that are fully compatible with Cisco, Juniper, Brocade, Arista, and other OEMs, but at a far lower cost. Moreover, InterOptic meticulously tests every transceiver that is shipped out as opposed to OEMs that sample-test production batches before distribution. "When the products leave our facility, they do so with the assurance that customers will have the highest quality networks for many years to come," says Brian McConnell, President and CEO of Advantage Optic/InterOptic. InterOptic has delivered tens of thousands of optical transceivers for federal, state, and local governments, and the solutions meet all military requirements. With a key mission to alleviate the financial burden on IT network providers. InterOptic's brand-equivalent transceivers are made with the same manufacturing methods, hardware and are tested to the same (or higher) to perform equivalent to OEM devices. "As a supplier, we move the cost needle to a lower threshold and minimize the cost per bit for data transmission," adds McConnell. Since a massive growth in network traffic is urgently driving the need for bandwidth upgrades from 100 gigabit Ethernet (GE) to 400GE in data centers, keeping the cost of optical transceivers low is a high priority for data center operators. InterOptic allows organizations to remain competitive by manufacturing cost-effective yet high-quality optical transceivers. The team is focused to help customers in their design of IT Networks. InterOptic lends this know-how to its clientele when helping them build premium-quality networks. Its leaders understand how to maximize network performance and value for their clients. During IT networking, InterOptic works with its customers to ensure that they not only save money but are also architecting a network that is meant to withstand the test of time. Today, InterOptic equipment drives high fan-out 40Gb and 100Gb hubs and has laid the backbone for seamless LAN and data center interconnection with its innovative fiber optic technology.
