Optical Detectors for Fibre to Home (FTTH) Connectivity(ODFit)

集成化合物半导体（ICS）是一家总部位于曼彻斯特的中小企业，专门为微波和光学设备市场开发先进的组件解决方案。公司结合了光电材料和高速射频电路设计的技能，并拥有与光电和射频元件在单个半导体芯片解决方案上的单片集成相关的IP。通过光纤网络对高速、高质量、宽带接入家庭和办公室的需求推动了对高传输速率光器件的市场需求。icssi看到了为下一代网络提供光学探测器的巨大机会，这些网络需要10Gb/s的性能。这项市场研究将调查这些组件的设计和制造中的成本与性能权衡，特别关注实现4G移动和本地光纤网络之间回程接口收发器的组件的中期机会。该研究将考察新兴产品的技术要求和商业考虑，如组件定价、进入壁垒和市场引进策略。

Integrated Compound Semiconductors (ICS) is a Manchester based SME specialising in thedevelopment of advanced component solutions for microwave and optical equipment markets.The company combines skills in opto-electronic materials and high speed RF circuit design,and has IP related to the monolithic integration of optoelectronic and RF components on asingle semiconductor chip solution.The demand for high speed, high quality, broadband access to the home and office via fibreoptic networks is driving market demand for high transmission rate optical components. ICSsees a huge opportunity in providing optical detectors for the next generation networks whichrequire 10Gb/s performance at commodity pricing.This market study will investigate the cost versus performance trade-offs in the design andmanufacturing of such components, with a particular focus on a mid term opportunity forcomponents which enable the backhaul interface transceivers between 4G mobile and thelocal fibre optic network. The study will examine both technical requirements for emergingproducts and commercial considerations such as component pricing, barriers to entry andmarket introduction strategies.
