Hot-pluggable transceiver for Fibre Channel
Agilent Technologies has announced volume availability of its 2Gbit/s small-form-pluggable (SFP) fibre-optic transceiver for Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs).
In selecting Agilent for the award, Logitech cited Agilent's design collaboration on Logitech's industry-first cordless optical mouse: the Cordless MouseMan Optical.
Agilent and Logitech created a proprietary optical chip that features a three-month battery life and 800dot/in resolution - twice the resolution of existing optical navigation sensors - for greater accuracy on any surface.
Agilent also supplies CMOS image sensors used in Logitech's line of QuickCam web cameras and ClickSmart dual-mode digital cameras.
These cameras enable photo and video e-mail, stop-frame animation and even instant messaging with live video.
"Because of the unique relationship between our two companies, we were able to accelerate the time to market for our optical mouse products", said David Henry, senior vice president and general manager of the Control Devices business unit at Logitech.
"The collaborative design effort involved a lot of talented people all over the world, resulting in Logitech's improved standing in the marketplace and continued growth.
We wouldn't be in this position without Agilent".
"We're honoured to be recognised by Logitech, an acknowledged industry leader", said Bill Sullivan, senior vice president and general manager of Agilent's Semiconductor Products Group.
"We're looking forward to continued collaboration on market-leading products". Request free introductory details about products from Avago Technologies ...
