After product specification, the development process starts with Schematics and PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Design, followed by Micro-electronics Development and Simulation and Prototypes Bring-up and Unitary Tests. Altice Labs develops PCBs which are among the most complex in the world. Today telecom systems have PCBs with components with more than 2500 pins.
A single PCB can have more than 5500 components, can operate with more than 10Gb/s frequencies on backplanes, and provide power supplies with more than 50A to a single part.
