SUGAR LAND, Texas, Dec. 13, 2016 -- Applied Optoelectronics, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAOI), a leading provider of fiber-optic access network products for the internet datacenter, cable broadband, fiber-to-the-home, and telecom markets, will host the next meeting of the Consortium for Onboard Optics (COBO), to be held in Taipei, Taiwan on Feb. 8-9, 2017.
The meeting will facilitate technical discussions regarding the Consortium’s standards for interconnects for intra-datacenter applications, and for coherent inter-datacenter and long-haul applications. In addition to hosting the COBO meeting, AOI will provide a tour of its R&D and manufacturing facilities in Taipei.

About COBO
The Consortium for Onboard Optics was founded to develop a set of industry standards to facilitate interchangeable and interoperable optical modules that can be mounted or socketed on a network switch or network controller motherboard. Modules based on the COBO standard are expected to reduce the size of the front-panel optical interfaces to facilitate higher port density and also to be more power efficient because they can be placed closer to the network switch chips.
