About Innolight Technology

Innolight Technology, established in April 2008 by co-founders Sheng Liu and Jun Yang, operates as a pivotal supplier of high-speed optical transceivers. The company's formation was supported by venture capital from firms in both the United States and China, including an initial investment from Oriza Holdings and Acorn Campus. A significant financial milestone was the closure of a $38 million Series C funding round in September 2014, led by Google Capital and Lightspeed China Partners. This investment was aimed at strengthening the company's technology leadership and expanding its production capacity to meet the demands of the growing cloud computing industry. In 2017, Innolight was acquired by Shandong Zhongji Electrical Equipment, which then restructured to form Zhongji InnoLight.

Read full description

Innolight designs, manufactures, and markets a comprehensive portfolio of high-speed optical solutions that serve as infrastructure enablers for cloud data centers, AI and data center networking, wireless networks, and metro to long-haul optical networks. The client base includes top-tier data center operators, cloud service providers, tier-one equipment OEMs, and leading system integrators across North America, Europe, and Asia. The company's business model is centered on providing solutions that offer a compelling value proposition and a time-to-market advantage, which are critical for the rapid bandwidth expansion required by next-generation networks.

Specializing in high-end optical transceivers, Innolight's product line ranges from 10G to 800G and even demonstration-level 1.6T modules. These products are developed with a focus on large capacity, small size, low power consumption, and cost-effectiveness. A key product area is the 800G series, including OSFP and QSFP-DD form factors, designed to double bandwidth capacity without disrupting existing data center infrastructure. These transceivers are crucial for applications like 800G Ethernet, data centers, and cloud networks. The company has a global presence with its headquarters in Suzhou, China, an international headquarters in Singapore, and R&D, manufacturing, and sales facilities in China, the US, Taiwan, and Thailand.
