DOWNERS GROVE, ILLINOIS – November 10, 2021 – Hirose, an associate member of the Consortium for On-Board Optics (COBO), has helped create the Multi-Mode Waveguide Interconnect System (MWIS) Working Group to advance the increase of bandwidth and reduce power consumption for printed circuit board interconnect systems. The Consortium for On-Board Optics is a member-driven standards-setting organization developing specifications for interchangeable and interoperable optical modules that can be mounted onto printed circuit boards. Led by Joshua Kihong Kim, Principal Engineer at Hirose Electric, COBO's new MWIS Working Group focuses specifically on the replacement of copper traces with multi-mode waveguides and adding an extra thin interface for Electrical/Optical and Optical/Electrical conversion within close proximity to the electrical component.
