Our team here at Fast Photonics USA have been buzzing about Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) and Linear Receive Optics (LRO), and we recently published a blog post that takes a deeper look into these cutting-edge technologies. Whether you're a seasoned network engineer or simply curious about the future of data transmission, this piece may have something you can benefit from. We break down the unique features and benefits of LPO and LRO, explore their primary use cases, and even provide a quick comparison between the two. These technologies are already revolutionizing the way we transmit data in traditional setups, active optical cables, data centers, and high-performance computing environments. So, if you're ready to learn more about the future of optical technology, click below: https://lnkd.in/epkJaman What are your thoughts on LPO and LRO? #OpticalTechnology #DataTransmission #LPO #LRO #TechInnovation #Networking #DataCenters #HighPerformanceComputing

Inspiring update from Dr. Laurie Locascio on the progress of CHIPS for America Act at SEMICOM West. $1.6B has been completely allocated to help the USA increase its share of worldwide semiconductor fabrication to 28% by 2032, creating millions of jobs. The next act is to allocate new funding to help the USA establish itself as an innovator, leader, and major provider for semiconductor packaging #semiconductors #USA #CHIPSforAmericaAct
