"can handle optical processing in silicon chips. That kind of technology has long been pursued but often without any results. Compass-EOS said it can integrate optical and electronic components on a single chip. It is already building routers around that technology and is selling them. Compass-EOS said its routers can deliver terabits of bandwidth at a fraction of the size, power, and cost of existing solutions."

"the router simplifies the deployment, operation, and scaling of major internet and communications service provider networks. They can get high capacity and dramatically lower size and power, with each router serving as a building block for a large-scale network. The technology eliminates the infrastructure known as the backplane. The chip is a custom-designed application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that runs all of the logical tasks involved in data routing."
