Near-packaged optics (NPO) gains ground as the industry hedges against CPO's growing pains — analysts say volume for NPO silicon photonics products will extend until the end of the decade
SemiAnalysis made the case for near-packaged optics (NPO) in a three-part thread posted to X on August 10, describing the architecture as an interim solution for the industry's transition from pluggable transceivers to true co-packaged optics (CPO) and crediting it with three advantages: field-replaceable modules, a failure blast radius confined to a single socketed unit, and simpler assembly, since the optical engine is packaged separately from the switch ASIC.…
