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.
“The COBO mission of creating standards for the next generation of optical interconnects depends critically on the input and support from companies like Applied Optoelectronics,” said Brad Booth, president of COBO. “We greatly appreciate their support and commitment to our vision of the future for data center optical interconnects.”
The event is open to participants from COBO member companies.

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.
