International e-commerce information 14th News Yesterday, the semiconductor industry added new mergers and acquisitions.

On Thursday local time, Alphawave IP announced on its official website that it will acquire Banias Labs, an Israeli optical digital signal processing chip developer, for about US$240 million (about RMB 17.22 billion).

In addition, Alphawave revealed that it has negotiated a non-binding multi-year procurement framework with a leading North American hyperscale producer that develops and sells a range of optical products and DSPs for Alphawave, including related DSP technology from Banias Labs, with sales of potentially over $300 million.

Alphawave said that coherent optics is the next step in the development of optical solutions and the cornerstone of the industry's efforts to achieve 800G and 1.6T Ethernet speeds while maintaining the coverage required inside and outside the data center and significantly reducing power consumption.

Today, coherent technologies are mainly used to connect data centers and telecommunications fields over 100 kilometers long distances. Banias Labs’ optical DSP technology strengthens Alphawave’s optical product roadmap by targeting the growing opportunities of coherent optical technologies in data centers. With the acquisition of Banias, Alphawave is expanding its potential market by providing the next generation of coherent optical solutions for state-of-the-art data centers.
