Jabil Acquires Intel’s Silicon Photonics Optical Modules Business
Jabil Inc. will take over the manufacture and sale of Intel’s silicon photonics-based pluggable optical transceiver product lines and the development of future generations of such modules, Jabil announced. The deal strengthens Jabil’s position within the data center market, including hyperscale, cloud, and AI cloud data centers, said Matt Crowley, senior vice president of cloud and enterprise infrastructure at Jabil.
The announcement comes after Intel, in its third-quarter earnings call last week, announced its divestment of the pluggable module portion of its silicon photonics business. Intel said it made the divestment during the quarter in an effort to focus on the “higher-value” component business as well as optical input/output solutions targeting AI infrastructure scaling.
