Reflex Photonics Inc. announces first commercial shipments of its InterBOARD™ Quad Small Form Factor (QSFP™) parallel optical modules

Multiple field trial tests of the Company’s Light on Board™ optically-enabled semiconductor packages also underway

Redwood City, California – October 8, 2007 – Reflex Photonics, an advanced developer of extreme high speed, Light on Board™ connectivity solutions for semiconductor packaging and data transfer applications, today announced that it had recently initiated commercial shipments of its new InterBOARD™ QSFP™ 4-channel/20 Gbps DDR (Double Data Rate; 5 Gbps per channel), bi-directional, hot-pluggable parallel optical module products.

“The InterBOARD QSFP™ series is the latest addition to our InterBOARD™ product lines after a successful year of shipping our InterBOARD™ SNAP-12™ 12-channel/40 Gbps parallel optical modules. QDR (Quad Data Rate) versions (10 Gbps per channel) of both InterBOARD™ products will begin sampling in early 2008, with the QSFP™ products operating at 40 Gbps and the SNAP-12™ products running at 120 Gbps.” stated Gary Moskovitz, President and CEO .

“We are also gratified to have completed our first two development phases of our groundbreaking Light on Board™ optically-enabled, semiconductor packaging technology, with several technology evaluation systems already being very successfully tested in field trials.” added Moskovitz.

About Reflex Photonics

Reflex Photonics is an advanced developer of extreme high speed (40 Gb/s to 1000 Gb/s), Light on Board™ connectivity solutions for semiconductor packaging and data transfer applications. Through the integration of its uniquely innovative and proprietary LightABLE™ technology, the company is focused on intra and inter printed circuit board (PCB) applications ranging in distance from 1 inch to 1000 feet, supporting all physical layer protocols. Reflex Photonics’ products feature its core LightABLE™ optical engine technology which offers significant improvements in the structure and packaging of the components that deal with electrical-to-light conversion and vice versa. Its optical sub-assembly is based on a unique low cost, low profile, passive optical assembly process whose modular construction allows for volume manufacturing, superior performance and much higher reliability as compared to existing technology implementations. Reflex Photonics products address the growing demand for high-speed interconnects in enterprise-class storage/server infrastructure resources and telecom-class switches/routers. The company’s products enable equipment developers to design lower cost/price, smaller size, and lower powered systems incorporating higher fidelity/ultra fast connectivity- all translating into lower end user costs of ownership and faster/less costly installations. Founded in 2002, Reflex Photonics, privately-held and operating both in Redwood Shores, California and Montreal, Quebec.
